Mate­ri­als Need­ed:**
You’ll need a few sup­plies, includ­ing a cro­chet hook, yarn in your desired col­or, scis­sors, and a tapes­try nee­dle. Choos­ing a soft and durable yarn ensures your open­er’s com­fort­able grip and longevi­ty.

Cro­chet Basics:**
Before we begin the project, famil­iar­ize your­self with the basic cro­chet stitch­es, such as the chain stitch, sin­gle cro­chet, and slip stitch. If you’re new to cro­chet­ing, plen­ty of online resources and tuto­ri­als are avail­able to help you mas­ter these essen­tial tech­niques.

Hi, I will show you how to make these can bot­tle grip­pers. Here’s how you can do it. Cut shelf lin­ers from places like Fam­i­ly Dol­lar or the Dol­lar Store into rec­tan­gles or squares. Once your squares are ready, you’ll cro­chet around the edges. I’m going to demon­strate how to do this with a sin­gle cro­chet.

You can use shelf lin­ers like those in dol­lar stores or cut them up from places like Fam­i­ly Dol­lar. Next, I will show you how to cro­chet around the edges. I’ll use Super Saver stripes Red Heart yarn for this exam­ple, but you can use any medi­um worsted yarn. I also used a Dain­ty hook. The size of your hook may vary depend­ing on the holes in your shelf lin­ers. To start, cre­ate a slip stitch to attach your yarn.

Depend­ing on the size of the holes, you may want to do two sin­gle cro­chets in each hole. I’ll demon­strate by doing one sin­gle cro­chet, then two in the next. Con­tin­ue this pat­tern until you’ve worked your way around the entire square. Once you’ve gone all around, slip stitch to com­plete the edge. After that, use your yarn nee­dle to weave in the ends. Chain one, pull through, and then cut the yarn with scis­sors. You can hide the end on the back­side where it won’t be vis­i­ble. That’s how you com­plete this project.

This project can be adapt­ed to dif­fer­ent shapes. For a bot­tle grip­per, you can make a small­er strip by cro­chet­ing a rec­tan­gle about two inch­es across and then sew it togeth­er to fit around a bot­tle. You can also add a dec­o­ra­tive trim around it. Like the one I’ve made, the square grip­per mea­sures six inch­es, while the small­er one mea­sures four inch­es by four inch­es. The pos­si­bil­i­ties are end­less, and this is a fun and prac­ti­cal project. Thanks for watch­ing, and don’t for­get to sub­scribe for more cre­ative ideas!
