Butterflies Water Bottle Tote
Description
The inspiration for both the colors and stranded colorwork project in July comes from the reflection of butterflies floating over a pond in early morning. In the pattern I also provide a more colorful interpretation using colors from the past couple of months.
Down below you'll find videos explaining the crochet cast-on, trapping floats, the i-cord bind-off, and the technique I used for making the slots for the shoulder strap.
