What you'll need:
**How to work a Beg. Dc3tog—Chain 3. Yarn over and insert hook into same stitch as chain 3. Yarn over and pull through. Yarn over, pull through 2. Yarn over insert hook back into same stitch. Yarn over, pull through. Yarn over, pull through 2. Yarn over pull through all loops. Chain 1 to close.
**How to work a dc3tog—Yarn over and insert hook into next stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops (2 loops on your hook). *Yarn over and insert hook into the same stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops* Repeat between *-* one more time. Yarn over and pull through all loops. Chain 1 to close.
Let's begin!!
With brown
1. 6 sc in a magic circle OR chain 4, slip stitch to the first chain to form a loop, 6 sc in the loop. Do not join. Continue onto round 2. (6 sc)
2. 2 sc in the first stitch and 2 sc in each stitch. (12 sc). You can either slip stitch to the first sc and cut off yarn or do an invisible finish. HERE is a short video of how to invisible finish.
3. With saffron, attach to any stitch. Complete a beginning dc3tog (instructions above and pictures below). Dc3tog in each stitch chain 1 (since we chained 1 to close off the dc3tog we will technically be chaining 2). Slip stitch to the top of the first dc3tog and into the chain 2 space. Change to white. (12 dc3tog).

Now we will turn our flowers into a square
4. With white attach to any chain 2 space. Chain 3 (counts as a dc) 2 more dc in the same space, chain 1, 3 dc into the same space (CORNER MADE). **3 hdc in the next 2 chain 2 spaces, complete the following in the next chain 2 space—3 dc, chain 1, 3 dc (corner made)** Repeat between **-** until you’ve reached the beginning chain 3. Slip stitch to the chain 3. Chain 1.
5. Hdc in the same stitch and in each stitch until you've reached the corners (the chain 1 space from the previous round) and in each corner space complete the following-- 3 hdc, chain 1, 3 hdc. Slip stitch to the top of the first hdc or complete a invisible finish. You can find my video for finishing off this square HERE

Joining
Grab 2 squares, with the right sides facing each other and the wrong sides facing OUT (towards you), thread your needle with your white yarn and insert through the chain 1 space on the top right corner front to back, bring the needle back toward you, insert your needle in the front loop on the square closest to you then insert it into the back loop on the second square (pictures below). Repeat this process until you reach the next corner space and sew in your ends.
Join your second set of squares.

Join your second set of squares.
Now we will be joining the front and back panels together.
Attach yarn with a slip stitch in the top left corner chain space (wrong sides of the squares facing in (right side facing you), sc through both loops on each square until you've reached the seam (pictures below) place 3 to 4 hdc evenly across, sc until you've reached the bottom corner, sc. (this is going to be the bottom of your bottle holder)
Start joining the second side on the bottom (where you finished your first side join. Attach yarn in bottom corner with a slip stitch, chain 1, sc. Sc through both loops on each square until you've reached the seam (pictures below) place 3 to 4 hdc evenly across, sc until you've the top right corner, slip stitch. Cut off yarn. Sew in ends.

Start joining the second side on the bottom (where you finished your first side join. Attach yarn in bottom corner with a slip stitch, chain 1, sc. Sc through both loops on each square until you've reached the seam (pictures below) place 3 to 4 hdc evenly across, sc until you've the top right corner, slip stitch. Cut off yarn. Sew in ends.
Bottom Circle
You can attach the bottom anyway you'd like an at any stitch you like.
You'll be joining the bottom to the holder by slip stitching through both loops on the bottom and the holder, once you reach the edges (where you joined your squares) you'll slip stitch through the side post of the sc, place your hook back into the same sc on the "bottom" and slip stitch into the sc on the other square. Pictures below.
- 12 hdc in a maigic circle or chain 4, slip stitch to the first chain to form a loop. Slip stitch to the first hdc, chain 1. (12 hdc)
- 2 hdc in each stitch. Slip stitch to the first hdc. Chain 1. (24 hdc)
- 1 hdc in the first stitch, 2 hdc in the next. **1 hdc in the next, 2 hdc in the next** repeat between **-** until you've reached your first hdc. Slip stitch to the back loop, chain 1. (36 hdc)
- Sc in the back loops only. Do not join to the first sc, we will be attaching the bottom to the bottle holder. (36 sc)

Strap
Attach to chain 1 space in the top corner. Chain 1, hdc in the same space, hdc in the seam, hdc in the next chain 1 space. Chain 1, turn your work. Hdc in each stitch (3 hdc). Repeat until you've reached your desired length. Slip stitch to the opposite side (one in the chain 1 space, one in the seam, one in the chain 1 space).
