Water Bottle Sling/carrier
Intro: Water Bottle Sling/carrier
This tutorial uses the bowline knot as base to make the jug or bottle sling knot.
The knot can be loosened and transferred from one bottle to another
STEP 1:
I started with a 4' length of cord. 15" from the Working End bring said WE over itself.
STEP 2:
Bring WE up through that loop leaving a 3" long bight
STEP 3:
Bring WE under Standing End
STEP 4:
and down through the loop
STEP 5:
Bring WE over one strand of the bight
STEP 6:
and under both strands of the bight
STEP 7:
Bring WE Over one strand, under two and up parallel to the Standing End
STEP 8:
Spread the original loop apart a bit
STEP 9:
and slip it over the neck of the water bottle
STEP 10:
Grab the small loop ion one hand and the two strands in the other and pull the knot TIGHT under the lip of the bottle
STEP 11:
Tie the Working End end Standing End together as close as possible to the knot leaving a long bight opposite the original 3" bight
STEP 12:
Put the long bight through the 3" bight
STEP 13:
and bring it back over itself
STEP 14:
Pull on the two strands of the bight so that the end of the long bight snugs down against the 3" bight. The result is a knot that will self adjust by sliding along itself

I made a slight variation, I placed the initial bight in the center of the cord so that when I later connected the ends the knot (sheet bend) would end up being at the cinch point of the carrying loops. Also the cord could be made a bit long then easily adjusted to fit the wrist of the user.
Thanks for a neat little project that is both useful and makes a nice little gift for friends
