crochet granny square bottle carrier and flowers — Crocheted granny square bottle carrier and flowers.

Crochet a granny square water bottle carrier for anyone who likes to take a water bottle out with them. The bottle is easier to tote around and you can make the handle long enough to suit your needs, whether that’s cross-body or over-your-shoulder. Either way, it’s pretty and practical too.

You Will Need:

your choice of worsted weight yarn
crochet hook (I used 4.5mm size)
crochet thread
buttons
large eye needle
water or drink bottle, preferably not throwaway plastic

Five petal ruffled flowers, reminiscent of hibiscus, are made after the water bottle carrier pattern then secured wherever you like with hot glue or a small stitch or two. This bonus flower pattern is versatile. With worsted weight yarn and a 4.5 needle, my flowers were about 2-1/2 inches across. If you want them smaller, use lighter weight yarn or crochet thread and a smaller crochet hook.

Editor’s Note: This free pattern is a companion to my free crochet Granny Squares Bag Pattern.

Both bags use the same basic granny squares but the larger bag uses more squares, larger panels and a simple fabric lining.

Older images can’t show details like the crocheted flower pattern added to this sweet water carrier bag, But I followed the flower pattern for the first time, took digital photos, and added them to our free crocheted flower pattern collection.

These remind me of five petal hibiscus flowers and are really very sweet accessories for any crocheted accessory,

My granddaughters wanted these flowers in their hair. Of course, with smaller yarn and hook, that will happen soon.

Hot glue flowers to your crocheted water bottle holder, then glue a button in the center of the flower. I put tweety bird on my daughters, because that is her favorite. I cut it off her pants that are too small.

Pull your drawstrings together and tie a bow to secure the water bottle.
