I’ve been having way too much fun making a bunch of these potion bottles.
This potion bottle crochet pattern is no-sew (bar a few ends to weave in) and is worked from the bottom up with some slip stitches added at the end to give definition between the bottle neck and the cork.
I finished mine by tying some brown yarn around the neck but you could also use twine or thin ribbon.
How to Customise Your Potion Bottle
Change up the colours to make all sorts of different potions! Add a heart charm for a sweet love potion or make them in red and blue for health and mana potions.

Finished Size
The finished potion bottle measures approximately 2.75″ (7cm) tall. Size may vary depending on tension and materials used.
Gauge
Gauge is not important in this pattern. Use a hook size to match your chosen yarn. Make sure that your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing showing through and adjust hook size if necessary.
Notes
- Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral starting with a magic ring unless otherwise specified. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.
