Crocheted beer bottle, for planting.





I made this bottle to plant some water plants. I love the combination of straw and plants. The bottle used is of the brand HOLESTEN...you can use any other bottle which has this shape and size.

I used a 5mm hook and some colored straw.



Start with a magic circle
R1: 6 sc inside the circle, mark the beginning stitch with a stitch marker.
R2: 2 sc in each sc until the end of round(12)
R3: 2sc in the next stitch, 1 sc in the next stitch, repeat around(18)
R4: 2sc in the next stitch, 1sc in the next stitch, 1sc in the next stitch, repeat around.(24)


R5:1 sc in every stitch(24)

R6: 7 and 8: repeat R5. Finish the last round (R8) by doing a slip stitch in the next stitch.
R9: Now chain 4, skip the next stitch and dc in the next stitch chain 1, dc in the next stitch , repeat around. Slip stitch in the 3rd chain of beginning chain 4.


R10: Chain 1, slip stitch in the same stitch, sc in.the next chain 1 space, sc in the next dc, repeat around

R11: 1 sc in every stitch

R12: Repeat R9

R13: Repeat R10

R14: Repeat R11

R15: Repeat R9

R16: Repeat R10

Now put the bottle inside and do the rest of the rows with bottle inside

R17: 1 sc in the next stitch, 1 sc in the next stitch, sc dec in the next 2 stitches. Repeat around (18)

R18: 1 sc in the next stitch,  sc dec in the next 2 stitches. Repeat around (12)

R19: sc dec in the next 2 stitches. Repeat around (6)

R20-27: sc in every stitch. You can keep repeating until you have reached the tip of the bottle. Fasten off. Weave the ends.
I attached this ring to hang it on the wall, you can skip that part.
