Pattern Overview:

This pattern is for a 40 oz water bottle holder.
The holder is crocheted in rounds starting from the base.
Techniques include magic ring, double crochet (dc), increase (inc), working in back loops only, single crochet (sc), and foundation single crochet (fsc) for the handle.

Pattern Instructions:

Starting the Base:

Magic Ring:

Start with a magic ring. Alternatively, you can chain 3 and work into the first chain to begin your round.
Chain 3 (this acts as your first dc but doesn't count as a stitch here).
Make 10 dc into the magic ring or starting chain. Tighten the ring and join with a slip stitch to the first dc.

First Increasing Round:

Chain 2 (counts as your first dc here).
Make 2 dc in each stitch around (20 dc total).
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 2.

Second Increasing Round:

Chain 2 (counts as your first dc here).
1 dc in the first stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch. Repeat - around (30 dc total).
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 2.

Forming the Ridge:

Chain 2.
Working in the back loops only, dc in each stitch around (30 dc total).
This creates a ridge forming the base of the holder.

Body of the Holder:

For rounds 5 to 18, work 30 dc in each round without increasing, slip stitching at the end of each round and chaining 2 to start the new round.

Finishing Round:

After round 18, chain 1.
Sc in each stitch around (30 sc total).
Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.

Handle Construction:

Chain 2. Into the second chain from the hook, perform a foundation single crochet (fsc) until you have 40 fsc.
Attach the end of the handle to the opposite side of the holder with a slip stitch to create the handle.
