easy peasy water bottle bag: free crochet pattern

I developed this free crochet pattern a couple of summers ago. As the name implies, it is a rather simple pattern. This project is perfect for those pesky half skeins you may have laying around. Although cotton would be the best fiber for this project (because of the sturdiness), acrylic would work fine too. If you decide to use acrylic keep in mind the stretch of the strap. You may have to decrease the amount of rows on the strap to avoid the acrylic from stretching too much.
