Water Bottle Covers   I like to freeze water in my bottle so that it is cold to drink during the day. This crochet water bottle cover will absorb the  condensation from the bottle as it thaws during the day. The covers shown are made from worsted weight yarn and cotton yarn.  I do not claim this pattern to be absolutely perfect, but those that crochet on a regular basis will be able to figure it out and adjust where necessary.   I'm better at doing crochet than writing down a pattern. Use a 4.5 mm crochet hook. Round 1 - Chain 4 and join to make a circle. Round 2 - 7 dc in circle, join last to first to complete round Round 3 - 2 dc in each dc (14 stitches), join last to first to complete round Round 4 - ch 3 (first dc) *(2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc), repeat to end, join last to first to complete round Round 5 and on - ch 3 (first dc), dc in each dc, join at end of round - this starts to make the sides, continue doing this till you get to the desired height, changing colours every 2 rounds makes a nice pattern.  The smaller covers will also fit a pop can. For the tie I just did a row of crochet of 75 (or long enough to go around bottle and tie),  thread this through the stitches on the top row This pattern is great for using up small amounts of yarn as doing each row in a different colour makes a really nice cover. You may need to adjust the pattern to fit the size of water bottle that you use.  craftygardener.ca Please sign or view the guestbook.
