Baby Bottle Amigurumi

Materials:
f hook
small amounts of white, gold, and pink worsted weight yarn
tapestry needle
piece of plastic from the flat side of a milk jug or what you have available

Abbreviations:
blo-back loop only
flo-front loop only

Note: Many people have asked me what an adjustable loop is. It is a method used to eliminate the gap in the center of your work that is sometimes created when working in the round. It is also known as the magic ring. June Gilbank of Planet June has an excellent tutorial.http://www.planetjune.com/blog/magic-ring-for-amigurumi/ If you are not comfortable with the method, please feel free to replace adjustable loop with: ch 2, sc # specified in 2nd ch from hook for single crochet in the round OR ch 4, dc # specified in 4th ch from hook for double crochet in the round (the beginning ch 3 would count as your 1st dc).

Pattern Note: Mark stitches when working in round.

With white, make adjustable loop.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in loop, pull loop taut. (6sc)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around. (12sc)
Rnd 3: (sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) repeat around. (18sc)
Rnd 4: (sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) repeat around. (24sc)
Rnd 5: sc blo around. (24sc)
Rnds 6-19: sc around, joining with sl st in next st at end of rnd 19 and ending off. (24sc each rnd)
Rnd 20: with pink (or color of choice) join with sl st in flo of next st, ch 3. dc in each remaining st in flo around. join with sl st in top of beg ch 3. (24dc)

***Cut plastic circle to fit in bottom of bottle and stuff most of the way.***

Rnd 21: ch 1, sc in same st and next st in blo, sc2tog over next 2 sts in blo. (sc in next 2 sts in blo, sc2tog over next 2 sts in blo) repeat to end of round. (18sc)
Rnd 22: (sc in next st, sc2tog over next 2 sts) repeat around, join with sl st in next st, end off, weave in ends. (12sc)


Teat:
With gold, make adjustable loop.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in loop, pull loop taut. (6sc)
Rnds 2-3: sc around. (6 each rnd)
Rnd 4: 2 sc in each st around. (12sc)
Rnd 5: (sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) repeat around. (18sc)
Rnd 6: sc around, join with sl st in next st, end off leaving long tail for sewing.

Assembly:
Using long tail left for sewing, sew through both loops of rnd 6 of teat and attach by sewing around each stitch between rnds 21 and 22 of the top of the bottle. Sew halfway, finish stuffing, then finish sewing.
