Simple Sanitizer Holder

Hi friends, this post contains affiliate links.

You totally need this new super simple, quick and easy sanitizer holder for a very obvious reason. Let me explain: The first sanitizer holder I made is really adorable and has little bitty berries on it! Only problem....  Bath & Body Works went and changed their whole mini sanitizer bottle style as soon as I got the design done!



My dear cousin Letetia, for whom the Tisha Bow Headband is lovingly named is a fabulous LuLaRoe clothing consultant. We love to support each other in our respective endeavors and often team up as such. She likes to treat her customers to a gift with purchase and since we both have an obsession with Bath and Body Works (I'm an admitted Pearberry addict) we decided on mini hand sanitizers outfitted with my adorable crocheted holders. It's a brilliant idea, and they are a hit for sure! It was through these little prizes that I came up with the simple, quick working yet sturdy and fun sanitizer holders. And now that we have a new rounded mini sanitizer bottle design I've re-worked the pattern for a whole new experience! You're going to love it.



I'm telling you folks, this is Christmas- DONE! Thank you gift- NAILED! You need do nothing more than trot off to the mall, grab a dozen of these lovely little babies, get to hookin' and you'll be covered for nearly every gifting occasion you can think of. I even gave one to my daughter's teacher at the end of the school year. Everyone loves these, you simply can't go wrong. I know, I digress... but seriously #notspons.

This easy pattern can be made in any worsted yarn. I have used dozens of colors and made countless holders and they all work like a charm. You may be wondering, "but hey girl, those bottles are round and they don't have much of a neck and won't my sanizier just slip out of the crocheted holder once it stretches, as does all crochet?". Well no. I made myself one in dreamy, luscious Red Heart With Love in Minty and it has been on my purse for at least a couple months. In fact the sanitizer is almost all used up. It's been through the airport, yanked on by toddlers, banged around, pulled and used nearly daily and that fat little round bottle has not even looked like it was going to budge. I'd wager to say it works!



Now lets get cracking!


All you need is a small ball of any worsted yarn, your H/5mm hook, and a small button. I like to use buttons between 7/8" and 1" in diameter for this project. It adds visual interest and gives you something to look at in contrast with the simple pattern.

Yarn: any worsted
Hook: G6/4mm
Materials: Yarn needle, 1" button, hand sanitizer
Difficulty: Beginner
Guage: no gauge

Check out this amazing bundle of mini hand sanitizers! You could work the holders while you wait. I bet you could make a dozen by the time your sani's arrive!
