FREE PATTERN WITH VIDEO TUTORIAL
Having both easy and more complicated patterns to choose from is always a good mix. Last design was for an intermediate skill project and I felt it natural to create a faster one this time, but still super useful.
The Natura Water Bottle Holder is necessary for many different reasons. For those days when you have to run outside for varied errands and you do not know when you will be coming back home, when you want to prepare for a nice afternoon promenade or when you are putting your things together for the gym.
A one seamless piece design, to practice in the round crochet with super easy stitches that create a nice open weave. So fast to make and adaptable, for medium size liquid containers.
In case you are all new to crochet, you may need to learn about the basics first and my Crocheting from scratch video can help you get a little experience beforehand. I suggest you give it a go with this tutorial with the first steps and then you will feel super confident to try this little bag.
With bulky weight yarn because it gives nice structure and hold. This time with a combination of cotton and acrylic but you could really use a wide variety of materials as a replacement.
