Pattern: How to crochet a glue bottle?

---

Let’s start – Free Crochet Pattern – Glue

• The glue bottle is worked in continuous rounds (as a spiral). Use a stitch marker if needed.
• Don’t forget to stuff as you crochet.

With a 2.75 mm crochet and white yarn

• Round 1: ch 10. Starting in the 2nd ch from the hook: 1 sc in the next 8 ch, 2 sc in the last ch. Now working on the other side of the chain: 1 sc in the next 8 ch. (18)
• Round 2: working in the blo (back lop only): [1 sc in all st]. (18)
• Rounds 3 to 12: [1 sc in all st]. (18)

Place the eyes between Rounds 8 and 9, spaced by 2 stitches. 

With your tapestry needle and the light pink, make 2 little cheeks over Round 7, over 1 stitch.  With the black embroidery thread, make a mouth over round 6. 

Fill the glue bottle.

• Round 13: [9 dec]. (9)
• Rounds 14 to 15: [1 sc in all st]. (9)

Change to the orange yarn:

• Round 16: working in the blo (back lop only): [1 sc in all st]. (9)
• Round 17: [1 dec, 1 sc in the next 7 st]. (8)

Fill the glue bottle.

• Round 18: [1 dec, 1 sc in the next 2] x2. (6)
• Close the glue bottle with your tapestry needle.

Join the orange yarn in the front loop only of any stitch from Round 16 (I recommend choosing one at the back so the join is less visible). Work 1 DC in the next 9 stitches, including the stitch where you joined. Finish with 1 sl st in the first DC you made. Cut the yarn and weave in the end. Finally, fold the round of DC downward so it sits at the bottom edge of the lid.
