This easy water bottle holder pattern uses jute instead of yarn to crochet a unique looking carrier that is also multi-functional. It uses single crochet and double crochet stitches, so even a beginner can make it. A simple strap is also included in the instructions so you can create a sling.

Additional Notes:
-I used tight tension when crocheting this carrier.  Take frequent breaks if your hands start hurting.
-ch-1 does not count as a st.
-It is possible to make a narrower water bottle carrier by stopping at round 6 then continuing with the rest of the pattern at round 8.
-Despite my concerns about my hands holding up to working with jute (I have very sensitive skin), I found it easy. The most important thing to remember: use loose tension, and take breaks if your hands start to hurt.
-This pattern might also work with a #4 cotton yarn. I have not tried this yet though.
