Hello crochet friends! Welcome back to my blog for another free pattern! Today we'll be making my Amigurumi Potion Bottles Pattern!
This pattern is pretty beginner-friendly and quick to make. Each amigurumi potion bottle only consists of two pieces, making them easy to assemble. You can customize your potion bottles by changing the size of yarn, or adding beads or trinkets! My favorite yarn to make these plushies out of is Big Twist Twinkle from Joann Fabrics, it's so soft for a metallic yarn and the sparkles really lend themselves to the magical vibe of the potion bottles! (I am not sponsored, by the way. I just really like this yarn haha.)
If you've been following me on Instagram for a while, then you probably saw me designing these bottles around Halloween time last year, but I ran out of time and just couldn't get the pattern tested and published before Halloween. So, I am very excited to finally be putting this pattern out and sharing it with you all! I know it's still a little early in the year for some people to be starting Halloween makes, but I've got a few spooky patterns I hope to share with you this autumn, so we're starting early this year!!
Alright, let's grab our crochet hooks and get making, shall we?!

Helpful notes before you begin:
If you’d like to minimize sewing, you can slipstitch through the rows that call for sewing on the bottle portions of the pattern. (Pictured under the “Big Round Bottle” pattern below.)
It’s important to stuff evenly and not too firmly so that your potion bottles can remain upright when they’re set down.
Stiffer yarns are best for this pattern (like RedHeart Supersaver or cotton yarn) because they hold their shape a bit better, but you can definitely use whatever yarns you’d like, you might just have to squish your plushies into shape a bit more after stuffing.
Small Round Bottle:
Round 1: mr 6 [6]
Round 2: inc x6 [12]
Round 3: (sc 1, inc)x6 [18]
Round 4: BLO sc 1, inc, (sc 2, inc)x5, sc 1 [24]
Rounds 5-6: sc around [24]
Round 7: (sc 3, inc)x6 [30]
Rounds 8-12: sc around [30]
Round 13: (sc 3, dec)x6 [24]
Round 14: sc 1, dec, (sc 2, dec)x5, sc 1 [18]
Round 15: (sc 1, dec)x6 [12]
Start stuffing here, being sure not to stuff so much that the bottom bulges
Round 16: FLO sc around [12]
Rounds 17-18: sc around [12]
Round 19: FLO (sc 1, inc)x6 [18]
I find it helpful to mark the leftover back loop of the 1st st of round 18 to make the last step easier!
Rounds 20-21: sc around [18]
Round 22: (sc 1, dec)x6 [12]
Tie off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Finishing your bottle:
This part is a little fiddly, so don’t worry if it takes a little while. To give the bottle the ridge at the top, we’re going to sew (or slip stitch) row 22 down to the back loops that are leftover from row 18. After you’re done sewing that down, tie off and hide the remaining tail, and then lightly stuff the neck of the bottle!

Assembly:
All you have to do to assemble these cute plushies is just pin the cork on the top opening of each bottle and sew them on!
To add character to my bottles, I like to chain a long chain with tan yarn and then sew it onto the bottle, and sometimes I add beads to the chain to give it even more character, like I did with the blue bottle!
I really hope you had fun making your potions, if you do, you should tag me on Instagram so I can see your wonderful creations! (@cutiepie_crochet).
