  Step 1

  make a chain of 30 stitches

• Step 2

  make 87 rows of single crochet; the complete pattern is made of single crochet (US) stitches

• Step 3

  start decreasing to make the top of the bottle a little curved: row 88 decreases 3 stitches by making no chain for the height of this row, crocheting together the first two stitches of the row, and two at the end. you now have 27 stitches

• Step 4

  * row 89: decrease the same way as row 88, you now have 24 stitches
  * row 90: decrease 3 stitches, you now have 21 stitches
  * row 91: decrease 3 stitches, you now have 18 stitches
  * row 92: decrease 3 stitches, you now have 15 stitches
  * row 93: decrease 3 stitches, you now have 12 stitches
  * row 94 + 95: 12 stitches of single crochet
  * row 96: increase by 2 stitches (increase by making 2 single crochet in one stitch), one at the beginning and one at the end. you now have 14 stitches
  * row 97: increase 2 stitches, you now have 16 stitches
  * row 98: increase 2 stitches, you now have 18 stitches ~ this should match the height and width of the top of the bottle
  * row 99-109: rows of 18 stitches to go around the top
  * row 110: decrease with 2 stitches, you now have 16 stitches
  * row 111: decrease with 2 stitches, you now have 14 stitches
  * row 112: decrease with 2 stitches, you now have 12 stitches
  * row 113 + 114: 12 stitches
  * row 115: increase 3 stitches, you now have 15 stitches
  * row 116: increase 3 stitches, you now have 18 stitches
  * row 117: increase 3 stitches, you now have 21 stitches
  * row 118: increase 3 stitches, you now have 24 stitches
  * row 119: increase 3 stitches, you now have 27 stitches
  * row 120: increase 3 stitches, you now have 30 stitches
  * row 121-138: 30 stitches of single crochet

  Step 5

  if needed, sew in the velcro. fit the cover around the bottle and if it is a good fit, start crocheting the sides together with single crochet stitches.
  the F on this cover was embroidered onto it after it was finished. I drew the letter on graph paper and used that as the stitch guide.
