JULY V STITCH WATER BOTTLE HOLDER (C)
MATERIALS:
Worsted Weight Yarn approximately 2 ounces
Worsted Weight Yarn approximately 2 ounces
I Hook
Yarn needle
NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. I find working the holder wrong side out until I start the strap works easiest for me.
3. When joining with a slip stitch, pull the slip stitch tight.
4. Double crochet V stitch = dc, ch 1, dc
5. The length of the strap may seem short to you, but once the bottle full of water is in it’s going to stretch A LOT. You can make it longer or shorter if desired.
6. Holds a 20 ounce bottle.
