Striped Scrap-Yarn Crochet Water Bottle Holder

Materials

• Several small amounts of cotton yarn in similar weights
• One main color for the strap
• Crochet hook, yarn needle, scissors

Steps

1. Make a solid cotton base in the strongest or darkest color.
2. Work the first side round in the same color to create a clean foundation.
3. Change colors every two to four rounds for balanced stripes.
4. Carry short tails inside the work when possible, or weave them in every few rounds.
5. Stop the body just below the bottle shoulder and add a single-color top edge.
6. Make the strap in one solid color so the finished holder looks intentional.
7. Steam lightly from a distance if the color changes create uneven tension.

Color Tip

Limit the palette to three to five colors for a cheerful holder that still looks polished.
