Step-by-Step Crochet Doraemon Bottle Holder Pattern
Step 1. Measure the Bottle
This is crucial because bottles can vary in shape and size. Your crochet basket should be tight enough around the bottle so that it will not roll around and so that the bottle is easily inserted and removed from the basket. Have the measurements handy while you work to compare with the crochet piece.
Step 2. Crochet the Base
Start with blue yarn and form a magic ring. Single crochet into the ring and start increasing evenly.
Increase until the circular base is just smaller than the bottom of the bottle. The crochet fabric will stretch a little, so it is better to have it snug than loose. Make sure to compare the base with the bottle during your work visually. Once you have the correct width, stop increasing the circle.
Step 3. Build the Holder Body
When the base is wide enough, single crochet evenly around the outer edges. Continue working round without increases. As time goes on, the sides will slowly start to get taller around the bottle. Continue measuring as you go along.
If you are crocheting in the ‘crochet doraemon pattern style’, make sure you choose a dark blue colour for the body and use white for the facial panel to contrast the pants. For a taller bottle, continue working additional rounds.
Step 4. Add the White Face
Among the most recognisable features of this design inspired by characters is the white face. Crochet a white circular or oval piece that fits snugly into the front of the blue holder.
Take care to sew it in with a yarn needle. It is best to align the panel before permanent attachment. Small even stitches around the edge for a more refined appearance. The contrast of the blue body and the white face creates a nice, clean, and elegant look for the holder.
Step 5. Create the Facial Details
Next, draw the eyes, nose, whiskers, and a mouth. The features can be embroidered onto the white face or small pieces crocheted first. For the eyes, mouth, and whiskers, use black yarn. If you want, draw in the nose with a little red or another contrasting color. Don’t rush the placement!
A simple change to the eyes of the finished bottle holder can make all the difference. The design comes across as very friendly and fun when the face has a smile on it.
Step 6. Add the Collar and Bell
To create a thin, red crochet strip or embroidered collar below the face. The collar is a bright blue accents the body. Crochet or embroider a little yellow thing on the bell.
It can be flat and decorative or it can be a small raised piece. Securely attach everything so that the details stay in place at all times.
Step 7. Finish the Top Edge
When the body is in the proper height end the top edge nicely. You can do 1 or more rounds of single crochet to have a clean border. An alternate colour finish can also create a more decorative touch. Ensure the opening is big enough to allow ease of bottle insertion/removal.
Step 8. Crochet the Carrying Strap
The bottle holder is more convenient to use due to the strap. Make a strong chain and single crochet several rows over the chain. To offer extra strength, the strap ought to be broad enough to hold the weight of a full container.
Either a short handle or a long shoulder strap can be made, as it will be used in the holder. Securely attach each end to opposite sides of the holder. Stitch the attachment points again to reinforce.
Step 9. Add Optional Details
This is where you can make the project really a personal one. Consider adding:
- Name initial used for decorative purposes.
- Miniature crochet piece of jewellery.
- Contrasting edging
- A colorful strap
- Tiny bow
- Embroidered stars
- Decorative tag
