Looking for a practical and stylish way to carry your water bottle?
These soft crochet bottle holders come in three lovely designs — mint with white stripes, purple and lilac colour-block, and green checkered. Each one features a sturdy handle so you can carry your bottle comfortably by hand or hang it from a bag.
Description
These protective bottle carriers are crocheted in a dense single crochet stitch that creates a snug, cushioned fit. The collection includes three different styles:
- Soft mint green with thin white horizontal stripes
- Deep purple upper half and light lilac lower half
- Classic green and mint checkered pattern
Each holder has a strong integrated handle that makes it easy to carry a stainless-steel or glass bottle. The stretchy yet firm fabric helps protect the bottle from bumps and keeps it secure. Lightweight, washable and reusable, these holders are perfect for school, work, the gym, walking or everyday use.

Pattern Notes
- The holders are worked in continuous rounds from the base upward for a seamless look.
- Colour changes create the stripes, colour-block and checkered patterns.
- The handle is worked as part of the top edge or added as a sturdy strap.
- A firm but slightly stretchy tension ensures a snug fit around the bottle.
- Cotton yarn is recommended because it is strong, absorbent and machine-washable.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Begin with a firm circular base that matches the bottom of your bottle.
- Work upward in single crochet, changing colours according to the chosen design (stripes, colour-block or checks).
- Continue until the holder reaches the desired height.
- Create a strong handle at the top.
- Weave in all ends securely and check the fit with your bottle.
Care Instructions
Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water or hand wash. Do not wring. Reshape while damp and hang or lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry or iron. These cotton bottle holders become softer with washing while remaining strong and durable for daily use.
