BOTTLE HOLDER
YARN = ECO CROCHET,1 ball per color: 12 (rope), 14 (green), 18 (yellow).
CROCHET HOOK = 4 mm
OTHERS = stitch markers, darning needle, scissors, tape measure.
The bottle holder is worked using the amigurumi technique, in a continuous spiral of sts without closing rounds with a sl st. To keep track of the rounds, place a SM in the 1st st of each round, moving it up as you go. When changing colors, join the new color by pulling it through on the last yo of the last st worked with the old color.
Chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet.
Front post double crochet: yarn over, insert the hook from front to back to front around the post of the next stitch, yarn over and pull through to create a loop, (yarn over and pull through 2 loops) twice.
RS = right side of work
WS = wrong side of work
SM =stitch marker
st/sts = stitch/es
col = color
ch = chain stitch
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
fpdc = front post double crochet
rep = repeat
foll = follow
Table centre: 40cm diameter.
Procedure
FINISHING
CORD FOR THE SHOULDER STRAP
Row 1: using rope yarn, leave a tail for sewing at the beginning, ch 2, work 1 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook.
Row 2: insert the hook into the vertical bar on the left side of the last sc made, yarn over and pull through a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops on the crochet hook to complete the sc.
Rep row 2 until the cord measures approx. 75 cm. Cut the yarn and fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing. Using a darning needle, sew both ends of the cord to the top edge of the bottle holder on each side. Weave in all ends.
BASE
Using rope col, form a magic ring.
Round 1: 1 ch (doesn’t count as a st), 8 sc into the ring; pull the yarn tail to tighten the ring. Do not close the round and continue in a spiral.
Round 2: 2 sc in each st of the round. [16 sc]
Round 3: 1 sc, (2 sc, 2 sc in the next st) 5 times. [21 sc]
Round 4: 1 sc, (3 sc, 2 sc in the next st) 5 times. [26 sc]
Round 5: 1 sc, (4 sc, 2 sc in the next st) 5 times. [31 sc]
Round 6: 1 sc, (5 sc, 2 sc in the next st) 5 times. [36 sc]
SIDES
Round 7: 1 hdc in each st of the round. [36 hdc]
Round 8: (1 fpdc around the next st, 2 ch, skip 2 base sts) 12 times. [12 fpdc and 12 ch-2 spaces]
Round 9: (1 fpdc around the next fpdc, 2 dc in the ch-2 space) 12 times. [12 fpdc and 12 groups of 2 dc]
Change to green yarn.
Round 10: (1 fpdc around the next fpdc, 2 ch, skip 2 base st) 12 times.
Round 11: (1 fpdc around the next fpdc, 2 dc in ch-2 spaces) 12 times.
Rounds 12-13: change to yellow yarn and rep rounds 10-11.
Rounds 14-15: change to rope yarn and rep rounds 10-11.
Rounds 16-17: change to green yarn and rep rounds 10-11.
Rounds 18-19: change to yellow yarn and rep rounds 10-11.
Rounds 20-21: change to rope yarn and rep rounds 10-11.
Rounds 22-23: change to green yarn and rep rounds 10-11.
Rounds 24-25: change to yellow yarn and rep rounds 10-11.
Rounds 26-27: change to rope yarn and rep rounds 10-11.
Round 28: 1 sc in each st of the round.
Round 29: 1 sl st in each st of the round: 1 sl st in the beginning sl st. Cut the yarn and fasten off.
