Quencher

This is my all-time favorite water bottle tote. Those who have seen me at crochet conferences over the years know that I carry it with me everywhere. It’s designed to look good toting most water bottle sizes, to recover gracefully from being repeatedly bunched up in carry-on luggage, and most of all, to feel good on the shoulder.

The first one I made lasted me for 4 years. It was made in a (now discontinued) silvery yarn that looked nice with everything I wore, and looked professional enough when I needed it to.

I like my new ‘n’ improved Quencher even more! It’s both elegant and strong. The top opening has a modified type of drawstring action that results in a form-fitted, sleeker look around the bottle cap. I love the visual effect of the strap--it looks doubled then splits temporarily to become a drawstring.

Finished Dimensions 25 inches (64 cm) from top of strap to bottom of tote, measured while hung with a 25 ounce (740mL) water bottle inside.
