Mini Potion Bottle Crochet Pattern

Add a touch of magic with this mini potion bottle crochet pattern. They’re the perfect keychain size and would look super cute as part of a centerpiece or displayed in a bowl.

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. I tied it a few different ways so experiment and see what you like best.

Change up the colours and add a heart charm for a sweet love potion or make them in red and blue for health and mana potions!

Notes

• The pattern is written using US terminology and measures approximately 2.75″ (7cm) tall when using the materials listed.
• 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.
• 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.

Cut the yarn leaving a tail and pull through last st. Weave the yarn tail through the front loop only of the final round and pull to close. Hide end inside the potion bottle.

With the potion bottle facing the right way up, join light grey yarn in the first leftover front loop from R20.

Ch 1, sl st around in the remaining front loops. Fasten off invisibly to first sl st. Weave in ends.

Tie a piece of brown yarn around the neck of the bottle (don’t forget to add the charm/beads if using).
