Adjustable Strap Bottle Holder

 






Summer is fast approaching and I need water bottle holders that will work for.my family, and that means they need to fit kids as you as preschool and grown ups too. At the beginning of the day the kids are happy to tote their own bottles, but by the end of the day, it is the parents doing the work. Hence this pattern has and adjustable strap.


The bottles in my home are standard in size. Some are bigger than others. The mesh sides of this bottle not only crochet up quickly, but also provide the wiggle room for different sized.bottle.
