Water Bottle Cozy

It’s officially summer in India and that means you have to stay hydrated. As essential as it is to carry around a cold water bottle when one is on the move, it’s a nuisance when it starts dripping in the carry bag.


Hence a water bottle cozy that will take care of the condensation as well as will keep the water cooler for longer.





Things you’ll need:




Yarn: White Acrylic yarn
Hook size: 3.00 mm Pony

Stitches Used
Ch= chain
Sl st = Slip Stitch
Sc = Single Crochet
Dc = Double Crochet
Cdc = Crossed Double Crochet


Pattern:
Ch 5, sl st to form a ring.

Round 1. Ch3, 14 dc into the ring. Join with a sl st to the top ch of the ch 3. (15 dc)

Round 2. Ch3, 1 dc in the same spot. 2dc in each of the dc in the previous round. Join with a sl st to the top ch of the ch 3. (30 dc)

Round 3. Ch3, 2 dc in the next,*[1 dc , 2dc in the next] repeat from * till end. Join with a sl st to the top ch of the ch 3. (45 dc)


Round 4. Ch1,(working in back loop only) 1 sc in the same spot, 1sc in each of the dc from the pevious round. Join with a sl st.(45 sc)

Round 5-7. Ch3, 1 dc in each of the sc from the previous round. Join with a sl st to the top ch of the ch 3. (45 dc)

Round 10. Ch1, 1 sc in the same spot, 1sc in each of the dc from the pevious round. Join with a sl st.(45 sc)




Repeat round 5-10 once
Repeat round 5- 8 once

Fasten off.
Emblish it with a crocheted flower/ button.





Though this pattern is made to fit my bottle, you can easily make it fit yours by just increasing/ decreasing the number of dc in the base circle.


Make your water bottle one of a kind !





Happy Crocheting !!!
