I saw this idea many years ago at a horse/mule drawn plow contest. The half hitching around the glass protects the bottle from bumps. When the covering is thoroughly soaked in water evaporation keeps the water inside several degrees cooler than water inside an uncovered bottle. Tony

Ideal for milk. I've used the old wet cloth and a bucket for that, but yours is pretty and you could hoist it.

That looks like a great idea. Did you wing it or use a tutorial?

I was familiar with the technique and could wing it while making this project. These links will introduce you to the craft and you can design your own covering. Tony

"Creative Ropecraft" has a section on half hitching/needle hitching. Note what he says about amount of cord required.
