When I happened across these beautiful crochet covered bottles created by Lock & Spoon, I immediately realized how naked our baby bottles looked and went on a mission to figure out how to make my own bottle cozies.
Since I’m pretty good at following crochet patterns, but not so great at creating my own, I contacted a fellow crocheter and friend to ask for some guidance. For the crocheters out there, here was her advice which worked out perfectly.
1. Make a flat circle of single crochet slightly smaller than the bottom of the bottle.
2. To go up the sides of the bottle, start with a row of single crochet through the back loops of the flat circle.
3. Do a couple single crochet rows through both loops of the stitches of the prior row then start a design.
The design patterns came from Linda Permann’s book, Crochet Adorned and Good Housekeeping’s Illustrated Book of Needlecrafts, which I adapted as best I could to fit around the bottles. To finish off, I ended with a few rows of single crochet, taking out a few stitches to match the curve of the bottle.

I did make the blanket when I was expecting #3 a few years ago. I was sure I blogged about it, but can’t find the post. I need to take a few more pictures and tell you all about it. One of my favorite baby projects.
These are adorable! Too bad I use liners… Maybe next time. And when someone asks what kind of bottles to register for, I will definitely change my tune, AND THEN make these for them as a gift!!
Oh my word! Love and want!
This makes me wish I knew how to crochet. And that I knew someone with a baby. . .
These are so sweet!! I’m totally adding them to my to-crochet-if-ever-I-get-a-moment-to-myself list!!
These are adorable, and the colors are so calming! Do you mind me asking what brand of bottles these are? The look to have a great shape (expecting #2).
Love these great work
These are great! SUCH a good idea! Do they fit most wider bottles? Seem like they’d be easy to adjust if you have the bottom measurement
