GoddessCrochet Posted August 14, 2013 Hello! I recently wrote my very first crochet pattern and I'd like to share with you all. The pattern is available on my blog http://goddesscrochet.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/crochet-water-bottle-holder-free-pattern I will post it here as well. Like I said, this is my first written pattern, so please let me know if you find any errors! I recently went searching for a water bottle holder crochet pattern, but didn’t find one to my liking…so I wrote my own! It’s actually the very first pattern I’ve written. A nice simple pattern, and it works up quickly. Now…I have an 11-month old so I barely ever get uninterrupted crochet time, so I don’t know how long it takes exactly. An experienced crocheter could probably knock it out in an hour or less. That’s instant gratification basically! Like I said, this is my first written pattern, and I haven’t had any testers yet other than myself. Please let me know if you see anything awry when you’re working the pattern up. Thanks! Water Bottle Holder Crochet Pattern Worsted Weight Yarn – I used cotton, approx 2oz. Size H hook for a med-large bottle, Size G hook for small Pattern Notes: Each CH2 at the beginning of round counts as DC. I realize most patterns use a CH3 for the DC, but I feel it leaves too large of a gap. Feel free to use CH3 throughout the pattern instead if you like. End of Each round is joined to top of CH2 with SL ST RND = Round CH = Chain SL ST = Slip Stitch ST = Stitch SC -= Single Crochet DC = Double Crochet BLO = Back Loop Only RND 1: CH3. SL ST to first CH. CH2. 11 DC into ring. (12 DC) RND 2: CH2. DC into same ST as CH2. 2 DC into each ST around. (24DC) RND 3: CH2. 2DC into next ST. * 1 DC into next ST, 2 DC into next ST. * Repeat from * to * until end. (36 DC) RND 4: CH2 * DC into BLO of next ST * Repeat from * to * until end. RND 5: CH2. * DC into next ST. * Repeat from * to * until end. RND 6 – 14: CH4. Skip 1 ST and DC into the next. * CH1. Skip 1 ST and DC into the next. * Repeat from * to * until end / 1 DC ST left. CH1. SL ST into CH3 of CH4 from beginning of round. RND 15 & 16: CH1. (Place stitch marker if needed) SC into same ST as CH1. SC in each stitch around. SL ST into CH1 from beginning of round. Add more SC rows if desired. Strap: CH2. * DC into next 3 ST. CH2. Turn. * Repeat from * to * until desired strap length is reached. Flatten bottle holder with the strap in the middle. Fold strap over to find the ST you will be going in to on your “mirrored” side. SL ST strap to mirrored side. SL ST in each ST around (including through the other side of the strap) until you get back to the beginning SL ST. SL ST into next ST and fasten off. Weave in ends. Please let me know if you catch any mistakes. Happy hooking! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
