Special Stitches

Special Half Double Crochet Stitch Pattern:

In this pattern, we will be working a half double crochet increase or 2 half double crochet
stitches into the same stitch. In the next row, we will work another 2 half double crochet,
but we will work them into the space in between the stitches of the previous increase. You
can see this in the photo below. It creates a very pretty stitch pattern.

Notes:
-Written in US terms.
– I do not count my CH1, turning chain, as a stitch.
– The base is written so that you can work this pattern for many different sizes of bottles.
Just work the number of rows you need to make a circle that is just slightly smaller than the
base of the bottle.
Bottle Holder Base

Row 1: Work 10 HDC in a Magic Circle. SLST to first HDC. (10)

Alternate Row 1: CH3, Work 10 HDC into 3rd CH from Hook, SLST to first HDC. (10)

Row 2: CH1, *Work 2 HDC into next ST* repeat from *to* a total of 10 times. SLST to first
HDC. (20)

times. SLST to first HDC. (40)
Note: For the larger bottle stop after row 4 then continue on to the side rows. I have
included a 5th row in case your water bottle is larger than the two I used.
Row 5: CH1, *HDC in next 3 STs, Work 2 HDC into next ST* repeat from *to* a total of 10
times. SLST to first HDC. (50)

Water Bottle Holder Side Rows

Side Row 1: CH1, *Work 2HDC into next ST, Skip a ST,* repeat from *to* all the way around
the row. SLST to first HDC. (Stitch count will match the last rows stitch count.)
Side Row 2: CH1, *Work 2 HDC between the 2 HDC of the previous row* repeat from *to*
all the way around the row. SLST to first HDC.

Repeat row 2 until your water bottle holder is a tall as you would like it for your water
bottle. For a 25 oz S’well bottle work Side Row 2 a total of 24 times. For the larger water
bottle, work Side Row 2 a total of 20 times. Feel free to adjust the number of rows to match
your water bottle.

Fasten off and leave a yarn end long enough to help sew the strap onto the crochet water
