Beach Vibes
Water Bottle Holder
From
Cute As A Button Crochet
& Craft
Materials:
114 total yards Size 4 Yarn in 4 colors (Colors and yardage of each listed in pattern
notes. I used Lion Brand Nuboo in Dragonfly, Salmon, Blush and Goldenrod)
US H/ 5 mm Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
Scissors
Gauge:
Gauge can be measured by crocheting the base (6 or 8 rounds, depending on the size
you are making) and measuring after the last round.
Sizing:
2 sizes
Small size fits a standard 16.9 fl oz water bottle (base diameter of holder: 2.25” / height:
6.5”)
Medium size fits 27 fl oz bottle with a 2.75”-3” base (pictured) (base diameter of holder:
3” / height: 6.5”)
Sizing can be easily adjusted by changing the number of stitches in the base or sides
(instructions in pattern notes)
Stitches Used:
(ch) chain
(sl st) slip stitch
(sc) single crochet
(sc blo) single crochet back loop only
Pattern Notes:
Beginning chain of each round does not count as a stitch.
IMPORTANT: I tend to crochet tightly. So be sure to check your gauge after completing
the base and if you are crocheting more loosely you can move to a smaller hook (or
larger if you crochet even more tightly). Some people find they even need to go down
two hook sizes to meet my gauge. The yarn used for this pattern is also a little on the
thin side for a size 4 yarn. If you are using a “fluffier” acrylic yarn, your gauge will
probably be much bigger. Either adjust your gauge by changing your hook size, or by
decreasing the number of rows you complete in the base and sides.
Color Yardage (using Lion Brand Nuboo yarn):
Dragonfly (blue) 97 yards
Blush (light pink) 8 yards
Goldenrod (gold) 6 yards
Salmon (salmon) 3 yards
Instructions are included for two general sizes. However, it is easy to adjust the sizing
so that you can customize your bottle holder to fit your favorite water bottle. Simply

complete the number of rows in your base that will make your base the same width as
the widest part of your water bottle (or even ¼” smaller if you want a good snug fit). If
you are increasing your holder to be larger than the largest round included in this
pattern, simply continue to add one additional stitch between each increase stitch in the
round, for every round. This will increase each round of your base by 6 stitches. Once
you get to the first round of the sides (after base is completed), your number of stitches
will remain the same as you work up the sides. Continue your rounds of the sides until
you reach the height you desire. If you are making your holder taller than the tallest
round included in the pattern, you can choose to complete additional rounds with the
last color yarn used in the pattern or continue to create further striping.

If you are completing a size small: Round 6 will complete the base of your carrier.
Skip rounds 7 and 8 and continue with Round 9. You will begin to work up the sides. A
note on gauge: With the gauge of this pattern the base after Round 6 should be about 2
¼ ” in diameter. If your base is much larger or smaller, you may want to consider
starting over with a smaller or larger hook.

If you are completing a size medium: Round 8 will complete the base of the carrier
and as you move on to Round 9, you will begin to work up the sides. A note on gauge at
this point: With the gauge of this pattern the base after Round 8 should be about 3” in
diameter. If your base is much larger or smaller, you may want to consider starting over
with a smaller or larger hook.

After Round 47, your bottle holder should be 6.5” tall. You can adjust the height by
adding or removing rows. Do not finish off.
Adding a Strap:
Row 1: Ch 1. Sc in the same stitch and in each of the next 6 stitches (7)
Row 2 – 140: Ch 1. Turn. Sc in the same stitch and each stitch across (7).
The strap should be about 25 ½” long at this point. Add or remove rows to make the
strap as long or as short as you like. Keep in mind that the strap will stretch a little bit
with use.

Finish off and leave a long tail to sew the
loose end of the strap to the other side of
the holder. Lay the bottle holder on a flat
surface with the strap in the center so
that you can locate the correct placement
for the other end of the strap, Place the
loose end of the strap on the inside,
opposite side of the bottle holder. I lined
up the bottom of the strap at round 40 so
that there was an overlap of about 1 ¼”.
Use a yarn needle and your long tail to
sew the end of the strap onto the inside
edge of the bottle holder. Since my tail
was blue, I only placed my stitches in
rows that were blue in order to keep the
seam invisible. Once it is secured, finish
off and weave in the ends.
