Materials Needed

Making Process

1. Starting: Begin with your base color yarn, creating a magic ring with 8 SC stitches.
2. Round 1: Increase in every stitch around.
3. Subsequent Rounds: Continue following the pattern displayed in the video, making sure to pause and work at your pace. The instructions will guide you through creating the body of the bottle, transitioning colors, and shaping the piece.
4. Color Transition to White: For round 17, change to white yarn. This round involves SC twice then performing a decrease by skipping a stitch, all the way around.
5. Creating the Bottle Neck: Work in continuous rounds to elongate the neck of the bottle, following the pattern's guidance.
6. Switching to Brown for the Cork: At round 34, switch to brown yarn. You'll single crochet and then increase all in the back loops only to create a textured cork effect. This round results in a total of 24 stitches.
7. Finishing Touches: To complete the bottle, leave a long tail after your final stitch and use it to sew the piece closed, applying the ultimate finish technique as shown.
8. Decorative Embroidery: Optionally, you can embroider with brown yarn along the body and neck of the bottle for added detail, simulating potion labels or designs.
