Guide for Making Crochet Water Bottle Holder with Phone Pocket Pattern:
Step 1: Crochet the Bottom of the Water Bottle Holder
- Start with a Magic Ring:
- Make a magic ring and add 7 sc into it. Close the ring and mark the first stitch with a stitch marker (you’ll work in continuous rounds).
- Increase Rounds:
- Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch (14 stitches).
- Round 3: 1 sc in the first stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch, and repeat from to until the end of the round.
- Round 4: 1 sc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch, repeat until the end.
- Round 5: 1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch, repeat until the end.
At this point, you should have a flat circle for the bottom of your bottle holder.
Step 2: Crochet the Body of the Water Bottle Holder
- Foundation Row (Round 6):
- Start with 1 atc (alternative turning chain), then 1 ltr in each of the next 5 stitches.
- 1 tr in the next 6 stitches, followed by 1 ltr in the next 6 stitches. Repeat the sequence of 6 tr and 6 ltr around, finishing with 2 tr in the last stitch. Join with a sl st to the first stitch.
- Main Body (Rounds 7–12):
- Round 7: Start with 1 atc. Then alternate between 1 tr and 1 ltr in groups of 5 and 6 stitches as before. Finish with a sl st to the first stitch.
- Rounds 8–12: Repeat Round 7, alternating between ltr and tr stitches to create texture. This will form the main body of the water bottle holder.
Step 3: Crochet the Strap
- Strap Foundation:
- Once you reach the desired height, continue crocheting to start the strap.
- Rows 1-48: Work 1 atc at the beginning of each row, followed by 1 ltr in the next 6 stitches. Adjust the length by adding or removing rows as needed.
- Attach the Strap:
- After reaching the correct length, fold the strap across and sew the last row of the strap to the opposite side of the bottle holder for a secure attachment.
Step 4: Crochet the Phone Pocket
- Chain Foundation:
- Chain 13 to begin.
- Rows:
- Row 1: Start in the 2nd chain from the hook, 1 atc, followed by 1 ltr in the next 11 stitches (12 stitches total).
- Rows 2-19: Continue with 1 atc and 1 ltr across for each row.
- Form the Pocket:
- Fold the rectangle in half to create a pocket shape.
- Use single crochet stitches or whip stitches to sew the sides together.
- Attach the Pocket:
- Attach the pocket to the water bottle holder. You can either sew it permanently or use loose leaf rings for a removable pocket.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
- Weave in Ends:
- Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends neatly.
- Optional Customizations:
- You can add decorative elements or adjust the strap length as desired.
