This pattern is pretty beginner-friendly and quick to make. It’s made in one piece, making it easy to assemble. You can customize your potion bottles by changing the size of the yarn with a suitable hook size and adding beads or trinkets.

Invisible FO – the invisible FO creates a seamless look for your last round after fasten off. With you hook, skip a st and bring the finishing tail through the next st from the outside to the inside. Then draw the tail through the back loop only of the st you fasten off with from the outside to the inside again. This creates a transitional pair of loops.
