1. 1

   Water Bottle Holder Crochet Pattern
   Worsted Weight Yarn – I used cotton, approx 2oz.
   Size H hook for a med-large bottle, Size G hook for small

2. 2

   Pattern Notes:
   Each CH2 at the beginning of round counts as DC. I realize most patterns use a CH3 for the DC, but I feel it leaves too large of a gap. Feel free to use CH3 throughout the pattern instead if you like.
   End of Each round is joined to top of CH2 with SL ST
   RND = Round
   CH = Chain
   SL ST = Slip Stitch
   ST = Stitch
   SC -= Single Crochet
   DC = Double Crochet
   BLO = Back Loop Only
