1 hour Crochet Water Bottle Holder Free Pattern

After designing the water bottle holder with a phone pouch, I decided to make another fun but quick crochet water bottle holder pattern that is purely for bottles.

This easy crochet water bottle holder pattern is free; scroll down for the instructions. The ad-free version is available on Ravelry and ETSY.

Crocheting a bottle holder is a fun way to use up your stash and have your water close to you, keeping you hydrated. It’s a fun way to show you beautiful makes as a crocheter.

The main aim of this water bottle holder pattern is to create a simple and easy-to-follow pattern with a simple repeat. You basically repeat just one round of the lace section until you have your desired height.
