It’s not always easy carrying a water bottle when you’re going about your day. This water bottle holder doubles as a fashionable accessory too because of the ocean reef-inspired design.

And did I mention there are FOUR different and unique strap options that come in this water bottle cozy pattern? Choose your favorite between an adjustable strap, a simple one, a rope strap, and a carabiner option. And if you’re not sure which one you’ll like more, make all of them, test them out to find out, and gift the others to your friends and family! They’re sure to love this handy gift.

How to Crochet a Water Bottle Holder

While there are a few options in this crochet water bottle holder pattern, don’t fret because the construction is quite simple.

The water bottle cozy starts from a circle which forms the base. It is worked in rounds from the bottom up. The solid base is made with single crochet stitches that ensure its sturdiness and then move on to the fun openwork crochet stitch pattern.

Once the main body is done, the top edge is finished with a few rounds of single crochet. You’ll also create holes at this point where you will later attach the straps, depending on which style you opt for.

After choosing and crocheting your strap, you will attach it to the bottle. It’s all ready for your next adventure!

Best Yarn for Crochet Water Bottle Holders

You have the option to choose whatever type of yarn you want for your handmade water bottle carrier and there might be a bit of variety if you decide to bust your stash. However, I highly recommend you use a cotton yarn, like I did, because it is durable, absorbent, and easy to wash.

Unlike certain synthetic fibers, cotton generally helps prevent condensation from soaking through and making surfaces damp which is a plus point when you’re carrying cold water bottles. Its sturdy texture also ensures the water bottle holder remains in shape.

Choosing Which Size and Strap to Crochet

I’ve included three water bottle holder sizes and four different strap options to choose from in this crochet water bottle holder pattern.

See the photo below for all sizes and strap options.

Strap Option #1 – Carabiner Strap

Two Carabiner Strap Options: I’ve included two carabiner strap options for you to choose from.

Option #1: Use the instructions below to create an Easy Carabiner Strap.

Option #2: Use the Crochet Rope Strap instructions and make a crochet rope that, when stretched, is long enough to wrap around the top opening edge of your water bottle holder.

Rnd 1 (RS): With yarn and a 4.00mm crochet hook, crochet a ch that is long enough to wrap around the top opening edge of your water bottle holder, working into the back humps of the foundation ch, work 3 sc into the 2nd ch from your hook, sc in each st across to the last ch, work 3 sc into the last ch, rotate to work into the bottom of the foundation ch, sc in each ch across the bottom. Do not join. Stitch count is not crucial.

Rnd 2: Sl st in each stitch around. Use the Special Join Technique to join the round of sl sts.

Fasten off leaving a yarn tail approximately 8″ long. Continue on to Attaching the Carabiner Strap.

Strap Option #2 – Easy Crochet Strap

I prefer the length of my water bottle straps to be approximately 32″ once they’re attached so the instructions below are to make a 34″ long strap. If you prefer a longer or shorter strap, simply adjust the length of your chain by that number of inches.

Rnd 1 (RS): With yarn & a 4.00mm crochet hook, leave a beginning tail of yarn that’s approximately 8″ long, then crochet a ch that is approximately 33-1/2″ long, working into the back humps of the foundation ch, work 3 sc into the 2nd ch from your hook, sc in each st across to the last ch, work 3 sc into the last ch, rotate to work into the bottom of the foundation ch, sc in each ch across the bottom. Do not join. Stitch count is not crucial.

Rnd 2: Sl st in each stitch around. Use the Special Join Technique to join the round of sl sts.

Fasten off leaving a yarn tail approximately 8″ long. Continue on to Attaching the Strap.

Strap Options #3 & #4 Crochet Rope Strap

Construction Notes: This crochet rope is worked in continuous rounds (a spiral). You will begin round 1 of this crocheted rope as you do other items. However, when you get to round 3, you will be working with the RS of your work facing you. BUT you will be working into the 3rd loop (back bar) that’s on the back side of the sc. As you crochet the rope, the RS of your sc will be on the inside of the rope and what is visible on the outside of the crocheted rope is actually the WS of your sc.

Rnd 1: With yarn and a 4.00mm crochet hook, ch 2, work 4 sc into the 2nd ch from your hook. Do not join. (4 sts)

Rnd 2: Do not ch, sc in each st around. Do not join.

Rnd 3: With the RS of the sc facing the center of the rope, work into the back side of the sts from the previous round and into the 3rd loop (or back bar), work 1 sc into the 3rd loop/back bar of each sc around. Do not join.

Option #3 – Stationary Strap: Rep Rnd 3 until your crocheted rope measures 34″ long, slightly stretched.

Option #4 – Adjustable Strap: Rep Rnd 3 until your crocheted rope measures 42″ long, slightly stretched.

Fasten off. Weave in ends. Continue on to Attaching the Strap.

As you continue to work, the crochet rope will begin to take shape and it’ll be easier to see how the RS ends up on the inside.

Attaching the Strap

Stationary Strap – 34″ Crochet Rope

Insert one end of the crochet rope or flat crochet strap, from outside to inside, into a hole along the top edge of the bottle holder. Insert it just far enough so that it wraps around and reaches itself. Use a yarn needle and piece of yarn and sew the end of the crochet rope or flat strap to itself. Repeat for the opposite end of the strap. Weave in ends.

Adjustable Strap – 42″ Crochet Rope

Insert one end of the crochet rope, from outside to inside, into a hole along the top edge of the bottle holder. Insert it just far enough so that it wraps around and reaches the rope. Use a yarn needle and piece of yarn and sew the end of the crochet rope to itself.

Insert the opposite end of the crochet rope, from outside to inside, into the other hole along the top edge of the bottle holder. Knot the loose end of the crochet rope around itself, as shown in the photos below. Tighten knot. Weave in any ends.

The knot you just created is what makes the strap adjustable. It slides up and down the crochet rope.
