Elevated Granny Water Bottle Sling Crochet Pattern

With summer finally upon us I've decided to add a few more summer items to my blog. Hopefully this water bottle sling will be a helpful addition for you this summer and for years to come.

A friend asked me to make a water bottle sling for her daughter last year which resulted in the Fresh Mesh Water Bottle Sling pattern. I loved it so much I decided to try my Elevated Granny Stitch on another one.

I had gotten my hands on a few skeins of Premier Rodeo cotton yarn and thought it would be perfect for both designs. Turned out to be totally right! I love this cotton yarn however I have also tried a few others that have worked out great too. Feel free to try any cotton yarn you like and see how it turns out for you.
