Crossbody Crochet Bottle Sling

Materials

• Strong worsted cotton yarn
• Hook that gives a firm gauge
• Measuring tape, stitch markers, yarn needle

Steps

1. Crochet a tight circular base that supports the bottle weight.
2. Work the body in single crochet, half double crochet, or a small mesh repeat.
3. Add a firm top edge with two rounds of single crochet.
4. Measure the strap length from hip to opposite shoulder, then subtract a little for stretch.
5. Work the strap in rows of single crochet, 5 to 7 stitches wide.
6. Attach each strap end across several stitches instead of one narrow point.
7. Reinforce the joins with extra whip stitches or slip stitches.

Durability Tip

A crossbody strap carries more weight than a short handle, so width and reinforced attachment points matter.
