Crochet Pattern: Water Bottle Cozy
By Rachel Choi – 11 CommentsEver get tired of a wet water bottle in the summer? Lots of us love to have our water nice and cold to cool us down, but don’t want all the condensation (water bottle sweat) all over our bags or hands. This simple cozy is fast to crochet and will help absorb the condensation from your water bottle! This pattern requires color changes, if you do not already know how to change colors in crochet, it’s never too late to learn, or you can choose not to change colors in the pattern.
Finished Size: 2 3/4″ (7 cm) in diameter, 5″ (13 cm) tall
Gauge: rounds 1 – 2 in pattern creates a circle measuring 2 3/4″ in diameter |

Note: water bottles come in many sizes, if you think that the cozy is too big for your bottle make 1 to 2 dc less in round 1. If the cozy is too small (keep in mind that the cozy will stretch) make 1 to 2 dc more in round 1.
Round 1: with main color, ch 4, 12 dc in forth ch from hook, sl st in top of ch-4 joining to beginning of round: 12 dc
Round 2: ch 3, 2 dc in each dc around, sl st in top of ch-3 joining to beginning of round: 24 dc

yay fun! i made one for my nalgene. i increased round 3 to 32 dc and that made it big enough and i did 17 or 18 rounds.
Great idea, Rachel! Water bottle sweat is horrible – especially if it dampens everything else in your bag. This is on my list of new patterns to try! 🙂
Another amazing pattern. I whipped this one up while watching Tool Academy 3 online last night lol. I’m going to make more for the rest of my family. We’re big on water bottles.
I made it into a carrier by adding the strap from your water bottle holder pattern http://www.crochetspot.com/crochet-pattern-water-bottle-holder/ and it looks great.
Thank you.
I am making these water bottle covers in Red,White, and Blue for all my friends and relatives for the 4th of July.

I made this for my boyfriend as a koozie for his fav beer, in a bottle. He loves it and I can wash it when it gets overused. GREAT IDEAS!! Love the site. – k
I don’t think this is very practical, won’t the water get warm?
Hey, you could make this out of absorbent “yarn” like sham-wow cut into strips & knotted together, or just really long skinny pieces if it comes in a big roll… Also, what about wrapping a cylinder (just tape, glue or staple one side closed) of the insulating foil wrap that ships cold items (about 1/4 inch thick) that would take care of the last lady’s concern, and would look much nicer with your custom crocheted bag surrounding/covering it!
Hi, Everybody’!
I just “wasted” a whole morning surfing this website, looking at the lessons and the patterns and the comments and the pictures and the lessons again, etc.
The most fun I’ve had since Christmas! I’m waiting, now, for Amazon to deliver my hook-kit and I’m away!!
Many thanks for the inspiration – I’m going to start simple, but will eventually make a whole load of Amigurumi!
Hi Rachel, I used this pattern for a Father’s Day give away last month which I featured in my post linking back to your post here. http://gardenchefsneedleandpen.blogspot.com/2013/06/mommys-choice.html Thank you for the pattern!!!!
Hi, Rachel! I bought something like this Water Bottle Cozy at a crafts fair a few years ago. It was done in an open DC stitch and was taller and had a strap. Just looking at it, I came up with a pattern for making it and ended up, after making a few dozen (they only take about an hour to make), settling on some “improvements” and now I really love this cozy and have made them for all my friends and family and I use mine ALL THE TIME. I make them in multi-color cotton yarns and also some lighter acrylic yarns with bits of foil. I also put a button or crocheted flower or a big brad on one side. They are so cool! — So, if you want to see photos or want my pattern (I’m not in business, so I just share my stuff), let me know! (My blogpage is all about the origami I teach at my two local libraries, but it’s a way to connect. Just be sure to use the gmail addy; for some reason Google won’t let me change the address on that account, from hotmail to gmail.)….. from Michila ///
