Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What type of yarn is best for a crochet water bottle carrier?
The best type of yarn for making an easy crochet bottle holder pattern is worsted weight cotton yarn. Cotton yarn is a good choice because it’s strong and durable. It won’t easily break or wear out when you use it to carry your water bottle.
It’s also absorbent, which is helpful in case your bottle sweats or has some moisture on it. Additionally, cotton yarn is soft and comfortable to wear, so it won’t scratch or irritate your skin.

How do I care for and wash my crochet water bottle holder?
Taking care of your crochet water bottle holder is simple. To keep it clean, gently hand wash it in lukewarm water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze the soapy water through the stitches and then rinse thoroughly.
Avoid twisting or wringing the holder, as this can misshape it. After rinsing, gently press out excess water with a clean towel. Lay the holder flat on a dry towel, reshape it to its original form, and let it air dry.
Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as they can damage the delicate crochet work. With proper care, your water bottle holder will stay fresh and ready to use whenever you need it.
How do I make a crochet water bottle holder with a phone pocket?
