✿ Hands free hydration, but make it pretty.

Your water bottle deserves a cute carry. This holder fits a standard plastic bottle or a big one, and the Wheat Stitch™ gives it a raised, woven texture that looks way harder than it is.

Fair warning: you’ll want to use this stitch on everything after this.
