3. Mark the first stitch with a stitch marker to track rounds.
4. Join with slip stitch to the first stitch.

Step 3: Round 3 – Increase Pattern

2. 1 hdc in next stitch, 2 hdc in next stitch — repeat around.

Check diameter (~8 cm / 3 inches) to fit your bottle base.

Step 4: Round 4 – Transition Round (Back Loop Only)

1. Chain 1.
2. Work 1 hdc in the back loop only of each stitch to form a 90° edge separating base and sides.
3. Join with slip stitch.

2. Work 1 hdc in each stitch around in the usual way (both loops).

(36 hdc)

Check work fits around bottle base.

Step 6: Rounds 6 to 17 – Lattice Stitch Body

1. Chain 1 to start.
2. hdc in next 3 stitches, chain 2, skip 2 stitches — repeat.
3. After every two chain-2 spaces, work 4 hdc in a row to create block textures.
4. Continue this pattern around (total 12 blocks of 4 hdc stitches per round).
5. Join rounds, placing stitch marker on first hdc for tracking.

Check progress; after 17 rounds height should be around 7 inches (18 cm), leaving neck stretch room.

Step 7: Round 18 – Strengthen Edges

1. Chain 1.
2. Work 1 hdc in each stitch, but in chain-2 spaces, place 2 hdc to maintain shape.
3. Join with slip stitch.

Step 8: Handle – Tunisian Crochet

1. Pull loop to correct side; chain 1.
2. Insert hook into next 4 stitches, pulling loops out (5 loops on hook).
3. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops repeatedly to finish the row (4 times).
4. Chain 1, turn.
5. For following rows: work under vertical bar and next horizontal bar working loops on hook same as previous row with 5 loops, yarn over and pull through 2 loops sequentially.
6. Repeat this for desired length (~100 cm recommended).

Handles are sturdy and handle weight well.

Step 9: Attach Handle to Bag

1. Sew one end of the handle to the third block of hdc stitches on one side of the bag, skipping one block (centered).
2. Use darning needle and yarn.
3. Sew firmly by stitching through handle’s tunisian crochet stitches and bag’s hdc stitches.
4. Repeat on the opposite side.
5. Secure with a few knots and weave in ends.

Tutor’s Suggestions

• Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds, especially during increases.
• Measure frequently to ensure the bag will fit your bottle snugly, but with some stretch.
• Don’t pull handles too tight when sewing to allow some flexibility.
• Consider cotton yarn for durability and to avoid stretch.
• Practice the Tunisian stitch on scrap to get comfortable.

Tip

Pulling the loop to the back side after each round helps create a neat round edge and keeps a clean look. Don’t skip this step!
