There are many beautiful places to take a walk in West Michigan, whether around your neighborhood, in the wilderness, or along the Lake Michigan shoreline. With summer temperatures on the way, it is important to stay well-hydrated during physical activity. Take a bottle of water along on your walks with this drawstring water bottle cozy. The string doubles as a cute handle, making it easy to carry.
It is designed to hold a standard size 16.9 oz (500 ml) water bottle. The example shown was crocheted with worsted weight yarn and a size G hook. Size will vary based on yarn selection, hook size, and tension, so it is best to have a water bottle on hand when making the cozy to ensure a good fit and make adjustments as needed.
