About this pattern

Under your hand this holder feels dense and a little stiff, the kind of fabric that keeps its shape without you asking it to. That comes from working double crochet in tight, joined rounds rather than single crochet or a looser stitch — each round stacks taller and firmer than the last, so the walls stand up on their own once rows 4-9 are worked straight without further shaping.

The body starts as a flat circle from the magic ring and turns a corner into a cylinder once the increases stop, giving you a cup shape sized to wrap around a bottle rather than lie flat like a coaster. Once the ruffled edge and strap are on, slide a bottle inside and the straight rows will grip it snugly while the flower and leaves sit decoratively near the base.

Main Pattern

Round 1Make a magic ring; chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet); make 15 double crochets into the magic ring, including the chain 2; pull the magic ring tight and close with a slip stitch into the first stitch.

Round 2Turn the work; into each stitch around, make 2 double crochets; close the row with a slip stitch into the first stitch.

Round 3Chain 2 to start; 1 double crochet in the first stitch, 2 double crochets in the next stitch, repeat from * to * around; slip stitch into the first stitch to close.

Rounds 4–9Chain 2 at the beginning of each row; make 1 double crochet into each stitch around.After row 9, cut the yarn and use a needle to weave in the ends securely.

Leaves

Round 1Attach a new color yarn; chain 3, make a double crochet in the same stitch, skip 2 stitches, then make a slip stitch into the next; repeat from to for each leaf around the edge of the circle.

Flower

Round 1Attach a new color yarn; make a slip knot, yarn over, insert the hook between the double crochets, pull a loop, yarn over and through to form a chain of 3 stitches; loop 5 times to create the petal and close with a chain 3, then slip stitch; repeat for each petal around.

Strap

Round 1Chain 6; turn, make a double crochet into the third chain from the hook and each chain across (4 double crochets total).

Round 2Chain 1, turn, make 4 double crochets across for the strap; repeat from to until the strap reaches the desired length.Attach the strap to the buttonholder or add a button as desired for closure.

Questions people ask

Will this holder fit any water bottle size?

The straight rows 4-9 of the main pattern set the final height and the double crochet fabric has little stretch, so the cylinder fits bottles close to the diameter it's worked to rather than stretching to fit a wider one. Check the circle's finished width against your bottle before starting rows 4-9 if you want a looser fit.

Can the flower and leaves be made in advance and attached later?

Yes, both the flower and leaves are worked as their own single-round pieces with a new color attached, so they can be made ahead and sewn on with a needle once the main pattern and strap are finished. Keep the ends long enough while weaving in so you have yarn left to tack them into place.

Why does round 2 say to turn the work instead of continuing in the round?

Turning flips which side faces you before placing two double crochets into every stitch, which changes the texture of that round compared to the smooth joined rounds before and after it. It's a deliberate construction step, not an error, so follow it as written to match the fabric described above.

Is the ruffled edge from the assembly steps the same as the flower petals?

No, the ruffled edge is a shell stitch worked around the outer edge using skip-one, five-double-crochet, skip-one repeats, while the flower petals are built separately from chains and loops before being attached. They sit in different places on the finished piece and use different stitch counts.
