  1. Round 6: First Motif:
    • Work DC clusters:
      • Work 1 DC in the first ST, then 1 DC in the next ST.
      • CH 1, skip 1 stitch. Repeat this pattern (2 DC, CH 1, skip 1 ST) all around.
    • End the round with a SL ST into the top of the first DC.
  2. Round 7: Second Motif:

    Save
  4. Color Changes (Optional):
    • Alternate every 2-3 rounds with Green and Pink threads for a vibrant design.
    • In the final motif row, switch back to Red Yarn for the top finishing rows.

3. Top Edging

  1. SC Border Rows:
    • Work 1 SC in each stitch around for a neat finishing border.
    • Repeat for 4 rows.
    • End the final round with a SL ST. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

4. Handle/Strap

  1. Strap Foundation:
    • Attach Red Yarn. CH 1.
    • Work 5 SC stitches into 5 consecutive stitches.
  2. Building the Strap:
    • CH 1, turn.
    • Work 5 SC stitches across. Repeat until the strap measures ~30 cm, or longer if required.
  3. Attaching the Strap:
    • Fold the strap ends to the opposite side, aligning it symmetrically.
    • With SC stitches, sew the strap ends onto the sheath, ensuring the strap is secure.

Pattern Correction

  • Verify stitch counts after each round in the base to avoid lopsided shaping.
  • Ensure a snug Magic Ring to avoid holes in the center of the base.

Tips

  1. Tension Control:
    • Maintain even tension for uniform stitches. Test a swatch initially if unsure.
  2. Colorwork:
    • Tuck tails from color changes neatly during SC rows for a clean finish.
  3. Strap Adjustment:
    • For heavy bottles, consider using thicker yarn for the strap or doubling it for extra durability.
