Hello hello,

How are you my dear crochet friends? I hope you’re doing well and keeping busy with the beautiful projects on your hooks!

Welcome back to my blog, with a new FREE crochet pattern – a lovely water bottle holder! 

I made these bags for my little Anna to bring her water bottle to school. If you’re looking for a crochet water bottle holder or something similar, here is one idea for you 😉

As always, at a small fee, you can also buy this pattern to receive a beautifully-formatted, and easy-to-read PDF file with photo references!

Thank you for supporting Khuc Cay designs.

Let’s make this super fun and easy project and share with me with hashtag #Khuccay #Lespetitesmainsdekhuccay, or add a Ravelry project. 

I hope you will enjoy crocheting these bottle holders as much as I enjoyed creating it. And do not forget that you can always write me a message for any questions!

Happy crocheting ♥
