Strap
Start by chaining 120 or as long as you want your strap.
Row 1: ch 3, dc in forth ch from hook and in each ch across: 120 dc

Materials:
Medium Weight Yarn (small amount)
Crochet Hook J (6.00 mm)               found the pattern here


My modifications:
I made mine with Bernat  cotton and a 5.50 hook
I made mine with short straps and a button closing for hanging on a purse or backpack strap.
I kept a water bottle handy and judged the size by fitting it on and off.  The amount of stretch in the yarn used with determine the number of rows you need.

Continuing on a theme

Not much luck getting a good shot to really show the colours but this is the baby blanket. It measures 30 X 20 inches. 

I made little pouches for our ear buds so I will be able to find them in my purse.

Latest project is a water bottle carrier.   After several failed attempts, rereading the instructions and increasing the size of hook it finally worked.     I had thought it would be an easy fast make after the days spent on the blanket.   The second one will work up more quickly.
