I think this crochet water bottle holder is the perfect project for summer. A water bottle is a necessity in the hot weather, but they are just so cumbersome to carry around - especially if you are out all day! That is why I think having something to carry it in is essential.
This pattern is reasonably straight forward. Plus, it is very easy to make larger or smaller - every water bottle is a different size, after all! The amount of rows that I have done is simply a guideline. Feel free to add or take away as many rows as you would like!
