Step-by-Step Crochet Bottle Carrier Pattern
Step 1: Starting the Base
- Begin with a slip knot.
- Chain 3 and make 11 double crochets (DC) into the third chain from the hook. Note that the skipped two chains count as the first DC.
- Join the round with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2. This completes Round 1.
Step 2: Increasing the Base (Rounds 2 & 3)
- Round 2:
- Chain 2 (counted as the first DC).
- Make two double crochets into every stitch from the previous round.
- Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2.
- Round 3:
- Chain 2 (first DC).
- Follow a pattern of two double crochets into the next stitch, then one double crochet into the next stitch (repeat: 2 DC, 1 DC).
- Complete the round and join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2.
Note: After completing Round 3, the base should match the size of your bottle.
Step 3: Building the Body of the Carrier
- Round 4:
- Chain 1 (not counted as a stitch).
- Single crochet (SC) into every stitch from the previous round. This ensures a strong, stable base.
- Count your stitches to confirm there are 36 total.
- Round 5:
- Chain 2 (first DC).
- Double crochet (DC) into every stitch from the previous round.
- End the round with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2.
- Round 6 and Beyond (Fillet Pattern):
- Chain 2 (first DC) and chain 1 more.
- Skip the next stitch and double crochet into the next stitch.
- Repeat: Chain 1, skip a stitch, DC into the next stitch—this creates a fillet-like open pattern.
- Continue this pattern until the height matches your bottle.
Step 4: Final Round (Top of the Carrier)
- Chain 2 (counted as first half double crochet or HDC).
- Make half double crochets (HDC) into every stitch and** every chain space** from the previous round.
- End by joining with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2.
Step 5: Adding the Strap
- Chain 1, then make half double crochets (HDC) into the next 5 stitches.
- Chain 1, turn your work, and continue making HDC rows (5 stitches per row) until the strap reaches your desired length.
- For a crossover strap, aim for a length of approximately 30 inches.
Step 6: Attaching the Strap
- Make sure the strap is straight and align it with the opposite side of the carrier.
- Skip 13 stitches between the two ends of the strap.
- Use a slip stitch to join the strap to the carrier. Ensure the join is on the inside of the carrier for a neat finish.
- Count your stitches carefully to keep the strap securely in place.
