Tapestry Crochet Water Bottle Carrier

Here's another water bottle carrier that I crocheted using the Tapestry Crochet method.

I've written about the construction of my water bottle carrier/holder in a previous post here.

Pattern Summary


Bag Bottom

For this bag, I chose a simple 3-color spiral pattern for the bag bottom.

Start with the magic circle with 9 stitches and increase 9 stitches every round for 13 rounds, for a total of 117 stitches. In the following transitional round, increase 3 stitches evenly for a total of 120 stitches.


Bag Body

The bag body is simply 5 repeats of this 24-stitch pattern. Total 120 stitches per round.

The top of the bag is finished with a round of decorative shells.

Bag Strap

To save time, I bought a length of blue webbing, a pair of D-rings and a slider from Daiso :) I crocheted 2 small rectangle pieces to attach the D-rings to each side of the bag. The use of the slider makes the strap adjustable!
