Scraps of Yarn Water Bottle Carrier {Free Crochet Pattern}

I have really been enjoying making water bottle carriers. You may remember the water bottle carrier that I made as a gift for my niece, or the Simple Large or Small Water Bottle Carriers that I recently made for my mother-in-law and myself. Well, I am at it again with this Scraps of Yarn water Bottle Carrier that I made for my daughter for her birthday.

I wanted to make a colorful water bottle carrier, and it just so happened that I had various bits of leftover yarn from other projects. These scraps of yarn were perfect for this project!
