Crochet Water Bottle Holder Tutorial *Updated* | Beginner Friendly

[@cheymwiley3]

I literally made TWO in the past 24 hours with the old vid, and I did have to playback a couple times. My second was the bigger size and I counted the stitches for the straps but came out uneven. I’m still happy with it, but this tutorial is easier to understand, thank you so much for going slower it’s a big help! 💕💕

[@strongearthcreations]

i’m so glad this one helped! 💗

[@livdannevig8173]

This was my first ever crochet project (except for squares) and I love it! Your explanations were great, and made me understand the notations a lot better too! Thank you!

[@strongearthcreations]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 😁

[@JJTorigaming]

These instructions were given so clearly thank you, I've been crocheting on and off for years but still consider myself beginner and people make it so complicated and don't slow down enough to see anything so thank you!!❤️❤️🥰

[@jillwolter753]

Yay! Thank you for updating, i love this easy and fun holder. I made one using the original video and had to replay many times to get it right. I hdd to slow down the playback to 50% to rewatch sections 🤪

[@iamsam2996]

This tutorial was amazing!! I had started the project using the old video and got confused, then I realised you made a new video. Thank you

[@mpm407]

I’ve made two of these but I made the straps using the thermal stitch instead of single crochet so it’s less diggy in the shoulder when the bottle is full, I love this pattern!

[@Byteblossome]

Smart thx for the tip

[@nisacreativeold]

Thank you for this tutorial! I finally finished at least one crochet project and I’m happy with it! 🥹✨

[@Sabaholics]

Hi, new sub, loved the pattern, the instructions were clear and simple to follow, especially for begginers like me. The bottle cover came out neat .thanks allot.❤

[@MCmammajama]

I've been making these for everyone i know 😂 the dollar tree has cotton yarn and one skein is enough for a large size! I make the strap separately and attatch after. Then i can make a sturdier step that doesn't stretch. 👍

[@adnirem]

Thanks for the tutorial! Easy to see what you are doing and follow along! I am totally making more for friends and family! Please make more tutorials you are a good teacher :)

[@juliaszymczycha4337]

hi! in my opinion the best way to end every mesh row with sc not dc. this way the end/begging of the row is less visible, and looks more even :))

[@julzziee]

I have been looking for a water bottle holder and then I found ur tutorial!!! tysmm it took a few tries but I actually managed to make it! and it turned out so pretty!!! keep it up!! 💕 Also , here's some ideas of things that I still dont rly know how to do: wallets , bucket hats , and book covers! if u know any of these maybe make a tutorial? luv u! 💗

[@strongearthcreations]

thank you for the suggestions! i have one bucket hat tutorial up currently, but i’ll definitely think about making some more :)

[@imogenking2978]

One of my first projects and I love the explanations, thanks. My mesh kept getting tighter and narrower with each row so it looks more like a vase though

[@mail2altaf21]

It's SO easy to remember! every part! Thank you! ALSO, ur the best and you just got a.... ⭐subscriber⭐

[@crazyytania007]

Awesome tutorial! So clear and easy to follow along. Thank you :)

SO EXCITED TO TRY THIS!!! I love the yarn you used for the tutorial!

[@strongearthcreations]

thank you!!

[@gatagatoula3630]

This was the best one!! Just made one for my Owala 40oz water bottle and it fits perfectly 😍

[@gabi-zj3pm]

super easy tutorial, i loved it! great video

[@bagelbites4668]

just getting back into crochet after months of not touching a hook, i’ve forgotten so much 😩

[@hafj9939]

Wow this is my first ever time trying to crochet i never thought how hard it is I couldn’t do it i think I will learn basic first then try again 😢

[@lornabaker6042]

Good tutorial! I will make this project. Thanks!

[@xtcharmed]

the part where you attach the strap is really confusing …..

[@1ningdungie-553]

I love this tutorial its so easy to follow and i made this for all of my friends bc i loved this so much and its so convenient ❤

Great tutorial! Thank you. ☺️

[@gauthamim8433]

Guys I just have a doubt am not being mean or anything am just curious okay why is the crochet hook so big does it help with something?

[@strongearthcreations]

it’s an ergonomic hook handle meant to reduce wrist & finger pain!

[@gauthamim8433]

@@strongearthcreations ohh thank u for replying...

[@marissamoseisley6207]

I can’t get over how chunky the crochet hook handle is lol

[@Cloudy_Mila]

I have heavy water bottles , will it handle them like is it sturdy????

[@strongearthcreations]

they are pretty sturdy, but the strap will stretch over time

[@bobbiharris2549]

Do you find that the gloves help? I have gotten really into crocheting amigurumi and need to find something to protect my fingers!

[@strongearthcreations]

yes, i definitely recommend compression gloves!

[@shekinahandangela1642]

Such good tut but I did get a little confused on row 14 but great tut!

[@Jenna-yc3ni]

Is there any chance you could make a video on how to attach like a crotchet phone holder to this bottle

[@strongearthcreations]

unfortunately, i think a phone holder would weigh down the bottle holder & stretch out the straps too much

[@oldmomma56]

I just made up my mind to do some!

[@rabonopinco]

Thank youuu sooo much🧚‍♀️

[@zlhmyk3973]

is there a way to prevent from my bag from stitching? i find my bag tends to stitch for some reason

[@Tunnell10]

Hi! Thanks so much for the free pattern and tutorial! I made one using the small pattern, a 5 mm hook, and Sugar ‘n Cream cotton medium 4. However, it is much smaller than yours. I made the strap with 80 chains as well, but it is way too short. Any idea what I did wrong?

[@camella7632]

The same thing happened to me. I just followed the steps for the larger water bottle which brought it to the right size and added more chains for the strap :)

[@janaegraber3907]

Late, but this always happens to me too! the "big" one is enough for the small bottle, and I need to add another round for it to fit a big bottle. I assume her tension is looser than most.

[@kinberlinamador2825]

For the strap I did 145 chains. When you make the double crochets, use very loose tension and really stretch them. It makes them longer.

[@jacquelynramos7568]

If i wanted to add a 5th ring on the bottom for a larger water bottle do I just continue the steps for row 3 - ch3, (inc, 1dc)* repeated ?

[@strongearthcreations]

for every row you want to add, add one double crochet so if your last row was (1dc, inc)*, your next row would be (2dc,inc)*, next row (3dc, inc)*, etc.

[@bryanpanian]

i have a problem and im new to crochet so can soemone tell me why my work isnt tall but its really wide and when I put my water bottle inside (for refrence) it doesnt fit the holder is not snug on the bottle someone help please!! im using 100% acrylic yarn idk if thats a problem or not.

[@magria__]

If I want to do a little bit more big holder, I just need another increase? Or increase and dc?

[@strongearthcreations]

add another row, adding one double crochet per row. if your last row was (1dc, inc), your next row would be (2dc, inc), next row (3dc, inc) etc.

[@anniecorona9821]

Would anyone know how to make this size bigger? I’ve done the biggest size and I found it fits more of a 20oz bottle so idk what I’m doing wrong

[@kayntay28]

I just added more base rows and then instead of the # of stitches she says for the going up rows, I just matched how many I had so it's even all around. I think I added 3 more base rows to get it wide enough on the bottom to fit my larger bottle

[@anniecorona9821]

When I make my bottle holder with 'Sugar n Cream' cotton yarn the hole where the bottle is supposed to go gets smaller and smaller when I do my rows. What can I do to stop that from happening?

[@Warmest.Lavender]

I have this same problem too! I really hope that OP troubleshoots and tell us what’s happening

[@CbjCraftyCrochey]

@@Warmest.Lavender I think I might have figured it out. Make sure you are doing everything in dc…even the increases, because I realized I was doing normal increases instead of double then the hole would go in, instead of out.

[@Warmest.Lavender]

[@kimberlybautista7900]

What size yarn is used in this video?

[@randomstickynote]

hi i loved the tutorial but mine started getting bigger and bigger ( almost like a bucket hat!) it started expanding, i just wanted to know if there is anything i can do to stop this?

[@strongearthcreations]

you might be accidentally adding a stitch somewhere, maybe try counting your stitches every round! :)

[@semfasungsungfromturningre2031]

I’m a beginner and it didn’t work.. couldn’t keep the loop big enough to keep working into it. Any ideas?

[@TheGuyIHate]

I found the video great and very helpful for making water bottle holders but the thing that kind of sucks is that I didn’t see how you did your ends up when A row was finish. But overall it was a very helpful video on how to make water bottle holders

i usually crochet over my ends as i work so i have less ends to sew in at the end!

Hey jw how to make the base bigger ?

[@strongearthcreations]

do another round and add one dc so if the last row was (2dc, inc) repeated, the next row would be (3dc, inc) repeated, next row is (4dc, inc) rep, etc.

[@sleepdeprived_potato]

​@@strongearthcreationswould this mess with the pattern at all?

[@strongearthcreations]

@@sleepdeprived_potato there would just be more stitches than what i say in the video & the strap would have to be centered differently based on the amount of stitches you have

[@sleepdeprived_potato]

​​​@@strongearthcreationsdo you know exactly how many more stitches? It's alright if you don't, just wondering

[@strongearthcreations]

@@sleepdeprived_potato off the top of my head, i don’t. i’ve only ever made the two sizes in the video

what if you need a bigger size then what is in the video

i’ve answered this before in a few comments if you wanna look around, but i also have a written pattern that tells in depth on how to customize the size on my etsy & ko-fi :)

[@emmagregory5324]

do you have a written pattern for this?

[@layla8848]

when u say increase by 1 dc does tht mean 2 dc then 1 or 3dc then 1

[@strongearthcreations]

2dc then 1dc

[@NYtoNC]

Would love a pattern

[@yanmeilin469]

I am at row 7 and got 17 dc. I tried doing row 7 again and got 17 dc again😢😢!! Please tell me what is wrong.

[@strongearthcreations]

try checking your row 6 to make sure the miscount isn’t there. i’d row 6 is correct, try counting your stitches as you go for row 7 to make sure you aren’t missing any stitches

[@zlogsvids]

Do you slip stitch in one loop or both?

[@strongearthcreations]

both

[@zlogsvids]

@@strongearthcreations thank you :)

[@nicoleo2068]

You lost me at row 14. As a beginner it’s super frustrating how fast you go. What does it mean to go through the double stitch?

[@strongearthcreations]

you are able to change the playback speed to go slower if needed. the double crochet stitch is the stitch used for rows 1-13. so row 14 is just doing a single crochet in every stitch.

[@Jenna-yc3ni]

@@strongearthcreationswhat’s a chain one space

[@strongearthcreations]

@@Jenna-yc3ni the body of the bag is made by repeating double crochet, chain 1, double crochet, etc. the chain one space is where you chained one in the previous round. so instead of double crocheting into the double crochet from last round, you double crochet into that chain one
