Steps

  1. Make a slip knot and chain 4, then join the ends with a slip stitch to form a small ring. This is the base of the bottle holder.

  2. Chain 3, then work a round of double crochet into the ring. Slip stitch to the top of the first chain to close the round.

  3. Chain 4, skip one stitch, and double crochet into the next stitch. Repeat this around to start the net pattern.

  4. Slip stitch into the chain space, then chain 4 and double crochet into the next space. Repeat this round to build the mesh.

  5. Keep working rounds of chain 4 and double crochet into each space until the net reaches the height of your bottle.

  6. Work one final round of single crochet around the top edge to make a firm rim. Fasten off and weave in the end.

  7. Cut a length of ribbon and thread it through the top round of the net. Tie a bow and trim the ends.

  8. Add a long chain or a second ribbon loop as a handle, then slip your bottle inside to check the fit.

Tips and common mistakes

Keep your chain stitches loose so the net stretches over the bottle.

Check the fit on your own bottle as you go, since bottle sizes vary.

Use a tapestry needle to hide the yarn ends neatly inside the net.

Questions

What yarn works best for a net bottle holder?

Milk cotton yarn in 50g works well because it holds shape and is soft. A cotton blend is a good substitute.

Do I need to know many crochet stitches?

No. You only need chain, slip stitch, single crochet and double crochet to make this holder.

How do I make the holder fit my bottle?

Stop adding rounds when the net is as tall as your bottle, and test the fit before fastening off.
