Hello! Recently, I've been engaging with many documentaries and books that involve Black history and culture, and I feel that it's imperative that I use this platform that I have to share the things I've watched or read that have changed my worldview. I would like to also emphasize the fact that it doesn't need to be Black History Month for you to educate yourself and others on or appreciate Black history/culture. Please look up trigger warnings if you do decide to read or watch anything on this list! It's good to educate yourself, and educating yourself on history is usually uncomfortable, but take care of yourself. Self care is an act of resistance! Without further ado, here is my read/watchlist recommendations for Black History Month 2026, with little to no context. (None of this is sponsored by the way). Books to Read 1. "N*groes with Guns" by Robert F. Williams This book will radicalize you so much. 2. "Recitatif" by Toni Morrison Th...
Hello! How are you? I hope you're doing well.
Today I'll share a crochet pattern for a froggy water bottle holder. I made this pattern for my HydroJug (not sponsored, but it'd be cool if it was), so you may need to adjust certain parts so that it can fit your water bottle. But, before we begin, please read my disclaimer policy and privacy policy.
Bottom: make this the circumference of the widest part of your water bottle, use green yarn.
Row 1: magic circle, chain 1, 8 single crochet in magic circle, slip stitch into first single crochet, close magic circle, and insert stitch marker into last single crochet. (8)
Row 2: Increase in every stitch (2 sc in every stitch), move stitch marker. (16)
Row 3: (sc, inc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (24)
Row 4: (inc, sc, sc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (32)
Row 5: (sc, sc, sc, inc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (40)
Row 6: (inc, sc, sc, sc, sc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (48)
Row 7: (sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, inc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (56)
Row 8: (inc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (64)
Row 9: (sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, inc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (72)
Row 10: (inc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (80)
Body: make this as long as your water bottle, use green yarn.
Row 1: single crochet into the back loop only of every stitch, insert stitch marker into the last sc. (80)
Row 2-40 (row amount is an estimate): sc into every stitch, move stitch marker to the last sc of every row. (80)
Eyes: make 2, use green yarn.
Row 1: magic circle, double crochet 8, close circle. (8)
Row 2: chain 3, turn your work, 2 dc in every stitch. (16)
Scleras: make 2, use white yarn
Row 1: magic circle, double crochet 8, slip stitch into first sc, close circle. (8)
Pupils: make 2, use black yarn, can be replaced with amigurumi safety eyes
Row 1: magic circle, single crochet 8, slip stitch into first sc, close circle. (8)
Attach pupils on top of the scleras, then attach the scleras on top of the eyes. Sew the eyes onto the bag, and make sure there's sufficient space between them. I allowed there to be 1 1/2 inches between the eyes.
Straps: use green yarn
Row 1: chain 12 (12)
Row 2: half-double crochet into the 3rd stitch from the hook and every stitch after that, chain 2, turn work. (10)
Row 3-40 (row amount is an estimate): half-double crochet into the back loop only of the 3rd stitch from the hook and every stitch after that, chain 2, turn work. (10)
Fasten off, and use loose ends to attach straps to the body of the holder.
Belly Pocket: use either white, yellow, or light green yarn.
Row 1: chain the width you want your pocket to be + 1.
Row 2-20: single crochet into the 2nd stitch from hook and every stitch after, chain 1, turn work.
Fasten off and attach the pocket to the body of the holder a few rows under the eyes.
Now for some glamour shots!
