Crochet Bottle Cover

Crochet bottle covers are not only practical but also a fun and creative way to add a personal touch to your hydration buddy. With a plethora of colors, patterns, and designs to choose from, you can customize your bottle cover to match your style and personality. These covers are not just visually appealing but also serve a functional purpose by keeping your drinks insulated and protected from scratches or dings. Whether you're heading to the gym, office, or a picnic, a crochet bottle cover is a charming accessory that will not only keep your beverage at the desired temperature but also make you stand out in a crowd. So, why settle for a plain old bottle when you can jazz it up with a delightful crochet cover and sip in style?

Cotton yarn will work best for bottle covers because of its natural ability to absorb moisture and easy to wash. I used 2.75mm crochet hook for this cover.

We will start from the bottom to the top of the bottle.

Bottom:

• Round 1: Make a magic circle, chain 3, 15 double crochet in the loop, join at the first chain-3 (total 16 dc).
• Round 2: Chain 3, 2 dc in each dc around (total 32 dc).
• Round 3: Chain 3, *2 dc in next stitch, 1 dc in next stitch. Repeat around from * (48 dc total).

You can add extra rounds or subtract to fit your bottle bottom.
Body:

• Round 1: chain 1, Front Post Single Crochet around the chain-3 space, chain 1. * Skip 2 stitches, work 2 dc in the next st, chain 1, 2 dc in the same st (this will complete a shell). Skip 2 stitches, work 1 Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC) in the next st. Continue across from * for the remainder with 1 FPDC between shells. Join with the chain 1 above the FPSC. You will have total of 8 shells and FPDC between each shell.
• From round 2 onwards: Repeat round 1 for the remainder of the length of the bottle cover you desired (For mine, I made 17 rounds).

Drawstring: chain 80 (or as many as you like), this will keep the cover in place. Sew little flowers on the ends of drawstring.
Little flowers: (make 2)
Magic circle, * sc in the loop, chain 2, 1 cluster of 3 dc, chain 2, sc in the loop. Repeat from * 4 times (there will be 5 petals of the flower).
