Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before starting the crochet project, ensure you have the following materials:

• Milk Cotton Yarn (4 ply): Maroon and Red
• Milk Cotton Yarn (2 ply): White
• Crochet hook: 2.25mm
• Fiberfill for stuffing
• Sewing needle
• Scissors
• Key ring (for attaching the keychain)

Tips

• You can use any type of yarn suitable for amigurumi, adjusting the crochet hook size accordingly.

Step 2: Learn the Abbreviations

Familiarize yourself with the following crochet abbreviations, which will be used throughout the tutorial:

• R: round
• MR: magic ring
• X: single crochet
• V: increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
• A: single crochet decrease
• T: half double crochet
• F: double crochet
• sl st: slip stitch
• ch: chain
• Fo: fasten off

Step 3: Create the Bottle Base

1. Start with a magic ring (MR).
2. Work your way through the following rounds:
   • Round 1: 6 single crochets (sc) in the magic ring.
   • Round 2: Increase (2 sc in each stitch) for a total of 12 stitches.
   • Round 3: (1 sc, increase) repeat around for a total of 18 stitches.
   • Continue increasing in this manner until you reach the desired bottle size.

Common Pitfalls

• Ensure your stitches are tight to avoid gaps in the finished product.
• Count your stitches carefully to maintain the correct shape.

Step 4: Form the Bottle Body

1. After reaching the desired diameter, continue crocheting without increases for several rounds to build the height of the bottle.
2. Once you have the height, start decreasing:
   • For each decrease round, alternate between single crochet and decrease until you reach the top.

Step 5: Add the Bottle Cap

1. Change colors to create the bottle cap. Use the white yarn for a classic Coca-Cola look.
2. Follow similar steps to create a smaller circle for the cap, decreasing as necessary to fit snugly on top of the bottle.

Step 6: Stuff the Bottle

1. Before closing the bottle, use fiberfill to stuff it lightly for a plush appearance.
2. Once satisfied with the stuffing, continue to decrease until the opening is closed.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

1. Use a sewing needle to weave in any loose yarn ends.
2. Optionally, you can embroider a smiling face or any other design on your bottle to personalize it.

Step 8: Attach the Key Ring

1. Use a slip stitch to create a small loop at the top of the bottle.
2. Attach your key ring to this loop to complete the keychain.
