Crochet this sea-waves-inspired pouch to hold your water bottle. It can be your friendly hydration partner through the hot summer days. It can also be used as a summer bag when you go out for a walk. This crochet pattern is named "Ocean's Catch," inspired by ocean waves. It can "catch" your drink. From the bottom up, the three patterns in the design represent ocean waves, bubbles in the sea-foam, and the calm surface of the water. When the bottle is half full, the liquid looks like waves rising and falling behind the bubbles. Though the pattern requires switching colors along the way, you don’t need to cut off the yarn until the entire project is finished, so there are also fewer yarn tails to weave in at the end. The strap is made with the Tunisian simple stitch. I like the smooth texture the simple stitch brings to the project.
