Crochet Mini Wine Bottle

I was browsing for something to make a friend of mine. She likes wine so I googled 'crochet wine' to see if I could find some inspiration. I happened to come across this cute little wine bottle here: https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/115254680/tiny-amigurumi-wine-bottle-micro-crochet?ref=shop_home_active and thought I just had to make one for her. At only 2 inches tall it would make a really cute Christmas decoration for a wine lover.

With it being my first 'miniature' crochet project I was a bit worried about how it would turn out. It was my first time crocheting embroidery thread and a small hook. I actually used my Sharp Crochet Hook because it was the smallest hook I had available. It is a really basic pattern but I thought I would write it out incase anyone wanted to work it up for a Christmas gift. I think it goes really well with my Cranky Angel.

So you will need:

Embroidery thread. I used two colours for the wine bottle and then a small amount of purple to embroider 'Wine' onto the label.
A small crochet hook. I am pretty sure the Sharp Crochet Hook is around 1.5mm but I am not certain.
A small amount of stuffing
A yarn needle for weaving in the ends. I suggest you do this as you work up as it becomes difficult to get to the ends once you start.
A small amount of white felt to use as the label.
Some form of glue to glue the label onto the bottle.

If you want to make a bigger bottle just increase the size of the yarn and hook.

You will be working in continuous round so make sure to mark each round with a stitch marker or a small amount of contrasting thread so you do not lose your place.

Lets get started on the pattern:

With green and starting with a magic circle,

Round 1: Ch 1, 8 sc into the circle (8 sc)
Round 2: 2 sc into each stitch. (16 sc)
Round 3-10: Sc into each stitch around (16 sc)

Start stuffing here and make sure you have weaved in the end from the start. Continue stuffing as you go.

Round 11: *Sc2tog, sc in next 2 stitches* repeat around.  (12 sc)
Round 12: *Sc2tog, sc into the next stitch* repeat around (8 sc)
Round 13-15: Sc into each stitch around. Join gold as you pull through the last stitch on this round (8 sc)
Round 16-17: Sc into each stitch around.
Round 18: *Sc2tog, sc into the next stitch* Repeat around ending with sc2tog (5 sc)
Round 19: Sc2tog twice, sc into the last stitch. (3 sc)

Finish off leaving a small amount of thread to close the hole.

Cut a small amount of white felt to size and embroider 'Wine' or a word of your choice onto it. Glue to bottle. If you wanted to use this as a decoration attach a small amount of thread to hang it with.
