Part of my package to my swap partner for the yoga swap was a water bottle cozy. It actually knit up pretty easily (once I stopped being a goober). I did attempt to knit it in the round at first, however the pattern doesn’t completely lend itself to being knit in the round. It leaves a weird seam that doesn’t look as good as when it is properly seamed. 🙂 I finished up all the weaving in of ends while I our power was out on Sunday. Good timing, eh?

I love the detail in the bottom of the bag.
The top of the bag has an eyelet row for the icord straps and has a turned hem. I quite like the technique.
