Roo crochet water bottle holder with phone pouch
A Crochet water bottle holder and a phone pouch, the perfect and fun way to have your water and phone with you on days you are out and about. This cute water bottle holder with a phone pouch is one that would greatly come in handy when going on a walk!
Recently, I decided to be more conscious about my health and one of the ways I am doing that is to drink more water. This water bottle carrier would go a very long way in helping me archive my goals.
Oh, how I love adding some twists to my crochet patterns. The crochet water bottle holder is not left out! How about keeping your phone secured in a phone pouch when you are also out? And having your hands free? This sounds divine as I find it difficult to hold multiple items with two kids!

Inspiration for this water bottle carrier with phone pouch pattern
A few weeks ago, I published Roo Backpack with a bucket hat and so much love the set as it’s so functional. The backpack also has a pocket incorporated inside of the bag which makes keeping little items easier. Since I got lots of compliments and usage from this bag, a water bottle bag with a phone ouch came to mind.

Rounds 8 – 12: Ch 2, in 3rd loop, hdc in each st around, join with a sl st to the beginning ch. 48 hdc —- Please help me understand what it is to be done here. I tried this but it came out uneven and with a gap. I’m right in the middle of making this for a friend. I need to finish by next Thursday. So if you could respond asap I would really appreciate it. Linda
Hi Linda,
You can skip the beginning chain 2 space and continue in the round (in a spiral), you also do not need to join after each round. But keep in mind that there will be a height difference when you work in a spiral without joining at the end of the round. Just slip stitch into the next two stitches to close the height difference.
I hope this helps.
I think 3rd loop meant to start the ch2 at the top of the ch from the last round.
In section 2: Body, rounds 2 – 7, it refers to “booth loops”. Is that a typo or some term I’m not familiar with?
Hi,
Thank you for asking. It’s a typo and it has been corrected to “both”.
I am crocheting these for friends and I couldn’t figure out how to do the Cross double crochet (xdc). I just replaced it with double crochets. Is that Okay?
