Crochet Bottle Holder Pattern

Step 1: Base

1. Foundation:
   • Make a slip knot.
   • Chain 4 and slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
   • Alternatively, you may use a magic ring method.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet).
   • Make 15 double crochets into the ring (16 stitches in total, including the initial chain 2).
   • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain.
3. Round 2:
   • Work into the back loops only. Pull your yarn through the next stitch (loop from the back), forming a neat transition.
   • Chain 2 (counts as the first stitch). Continue to work 2 double crochets in each stitch around the entire circle. You will have 32 stitches.
   • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first stitch.
4. Round 3:
   • Start with chain 2.
   • Work the following pattern for the round: 1 double crochet in the first stitch, then 2 double crochets in the next stitch. Repeat this sequence around the entire circle.
   • Slip stitch to finish. You should have 48 stitches.
5. Base Measurement:
   • Using your measuring tape, ensure your base diameter is 8 cm (approximately). If working with heavier yarn or a leather base, adjust the number of stitches accordingly.

Step 2: Body (Mesh Pattern)

1. Switch to working in continuous rounds (do not end each round with a slip stitch).
2. Mesh Foundation:
   • Chain 2 and make a single crochet in the next stitch.
   • Chain 1, skip a stitch, and double crochet into the next stitch.
   • Continue this pattern of chain 1, skip a stitch, and double crochet around.
3. Mesh Progression:
   • For every new round, work chain 1, double crochet into the chain spaces created in the previous row.
   • Work continuously in rounds without slip stitching, maintaining consistent spacing and stitches.
4. Number of Rounds:
   • Continue the mesh pattern for 13 rows or the desired length. Keep a stitch marker in the starting point of each row for alignment.
5. Measurement Check:
   • After completing 13 rounds, the height of the mesh body should measure around 13 to 15.5 cm.

Step 3: Top Border and Strap

1. Transition into Solid Stitches:
   • To close the mesh, make one round of half double crochet (HDC) stitches. Insert your hook into chain spaces from the mesh below and work evenly.
2. Edging:
   • Switch to single crochet (SC) for two additional rounds. This will create a sturdy finish for the top border. Keep your stitches tight and evenly spaced.
   • Add a final row of slip stitches in the back loops only to clean the edge. Work loosely to avoid tightening the piece.
3. Creating the Strap:
   • Chain 250 (or your preferred length) for a crossbody strap.
   • Attach the chain to the opposite side by working into 3 strands of yarn at the base, ensuring stability.
4. Strap Strengthening:
   • Work slip stitches into each chain back along the strap. Secure it firmly back at the starting point. This will prevent stretching and ensure durability.

Step 4: Finishing

1. Securely weave in all loose ends on the inside of the bottle holder.
2. Gently block (steam or wet block) the piece if necessary to enhance the shape.
3. Attach a custom label or tag for a special touch.
