Crochet Conical Flask
Materials Needed:
- Two colors of yarn (one for the flask and one for the liquid inside)
- Stuffing material
- 4mm crochet hook (or whichever size you prefer)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Stitch marker
- Safety eyes
- Black acrylic yarn for details
Pattern:
Start with the Flask Bottom:
- Create 6 single crochets (sc) in a magic ring.
Round 2:
- Increase in each stitch around (2 sc in each stitch), leading to a total of 12 sc.
Round 3:
- Single crochet in the first stitch, increase (2 sc in the next stitch). Repeat - 6 times. This will give you 18 sc.
After Round 4:
- Do 2 single crochets, then an increase. Repeat around to get a total of 24 sc.
Round 5:
- Do 3 single crochets, followed by an increase. Repeat around to bring the count to 30 sc.
Rounds 6-8:
- Single crochet around without increasing, maintaining 30 stitches for each round.
Shape the Dome (Round 9):
- Do 3 single crochets, followed by an invisible decrease. Repeat around. End round with 24 stitches.
Change Color (Preparing for the Liquid):
- At the end of Round 9, change to the second yarn color (for the liquid), making sure to secure the yarn ends.
Round 10 with New Color:
- Single crochet in the next two stitches, then invisible decrease. Repeat around.
Add Features Before Finishing the Flask:
- Cut off the first yarn color and weave in ends.
- Place safety eyes between rounds 6 and 7, about 7 stitches apart.
Filling the Flask:
- Add stuffing to the flask to achieve the desired shape.
Continue Shaping the Top (Round 11):
- Single crochet, then decrease. Repeat 6 times to reduce stitch count to 12.
Rounds 12-17 for the Neck of the Flask:
- Single crochet in each stitch around, maintaining 12 stitches for these rounds.
Finish the Neck (Round 18):
- Complete 6 decreases in the back loops only to close off the top neatly, and then fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing the last hole closed.
Final Details with Black Yarn:
- Add a mouth between the safety eyes using the black yarn, forming a slight smile.
- Add measurement marks along the body of the flask for detail.
