Crochet Bottle Holder with Strap – PATTERN INCLUDED

I whipped up this Crochet Bottle Holder pattern for a swap on craftster.org and thought I would share with everyone. Here is what you need.

Crochet Bottle Holder - full

Supplies:

* hook of your choice – what ever is recommended for your yarn.
* cotton yarn with some stretch (I used a vintage yarn with lycra, that was lighter than worsted weight)

Crochet Bottle Holder - yarnPattern:

* chain 4
* sl in 1st chain to form a loop
* work 8 sc in loop
* sl to join round

BOTTOM:

RD 1 – ch 1, sc in same stitch (2 sc – ch1 counts as 1st stitch), *sc in next stitch, 2sc in teh following stitch* repeat from * to * until you get back to the join – sl into ch1 stitch of round [12 stiches]
RD2 – repeat Rd 1 [18 st]
RD3 – repeat Rd 1 [27 st]
RD4 – repeat Rd 1 [40 st]
RD5 – repeat Rd 1 [60 st] – this should be enough for a smal bottle with small yarn – you can keep going if you need a larger bottle size.
RD6 – repeat Rd 1 [88 st]

THE NEXT ROUND WILL BE STITCHED FRONT LOOPS ONLY (the side facing you)

RD7 – ch1, sc in same stitch, sc each stitch in rd, sl to join round (this row should now appear to be on the edge of the circle you just made).
RD8 – Begin mesh – ch 6, skip 2 sc, 1 tr in next stitch repeat from * to * (all sc in round) sl into 4th ch on 1st stitch to join rd.
REPEAT RD8 until the holder is the desired height.

RDx+2 – ch1, turn, sc in each stitch across.

Flatten the main body of the holder to determine placement on other side of holder (should be directly opposite from the other side of strap).
