Aquariolis, meaning water bearer, will let you go hands free when on the go with your water bottle. Knit in the round, the carrier features an open stitch and a comfortable strap you customize by knitting to the desired length. Cotton yarn is used for its durability and ability to absorb moisture. Skills used in this pattern include e-wrap knit, purl, K2TOG, seaming or grafting to attach the handle, and basic bind off.

Sizes: Pattern includes sizes for single use bottles (eight ounce “shorts” and 16.9 to 20 ounce standard) as well as larger diameter bottles like the Nalgene one liter.

Loom: 3/8 inch small gauge loom in the round with an even number of pegs in multiples of six (such as 24, 30, 36, 42 or 48). Using a modular or adjustable loom is recommended to be able to knit more than one size (e.g. KB Sock Loom 2, KB All in One, and the Martha Stewart Knit & Weave).

Yarn: worsted weight #4 cotton yarn; about 70 yards for standard bottle; up to 110 yards for
1-liter bottle
