Potion Bottle Dice Bag

I saw a few little bottles like these floating around Pinterest and wanted to make one but couldn't find a pattern, so I decided to whip one up myself. I find they comfortably hold about 21 dice, or three sets (of seven polyhedral). I keep two full sets of seven polyhedral and one set of six d6s in mine.

note: these make good dice bags but can also be used for just about anything--jewelry, makeup, other game pieces, cosplay, or just for decoration.

measurements:
3.5” tall, not including cork
4” diameter at the base
2” cork

materials needed:
*size G hook
*medium weight yarn in three colours--potion bottle, edging, and cork/stopper (my favourite combination is blue/silver/brown)
*handful of cotton batting to stuff cork

1: ch1, sc in every ch around edge of loop, join (16)
2-6: ch1, sc in every st around, join (16)
7: ch1, sl st in every st around, join (16)
8: ch1, sc 2 in first st, sc 1 in next st, repeat around, join (24)
9: ch1, sc 1 in every st around, join (24)
10: ch1, sc 1 in first 5 st, sc 2 in next st, repeat around, join (28)
11: ch1, sc 2 in first st, sc 1 in next 6 st, repeat around, join (32)
12: ch1, sc 1 in first 7 st, sc 2 in next st, repeat around, join (36)

Really Cool Title

Hello, my name is Annie.
Yes, I am okay.

Okay, this is going to be a test post up here for awhile while I try to figure out blog setup. I'm just going to paste a bunch of random text in here so I can see what the blog will sort of look like.

"The Way of Kings. The book was written to embody an ideal. It was given to people who already had momentum in doing what was right. That was my mistake. Before any of this can work, our people need to have a minimum level of honor and dignity. I have been treating the other highprinces and their lighteyes like adults. An adult can take a principle and adapt it to his needs. But we're not ready for that yet. We're children. And when you're teaching a child, you /require/ him to do what is right until he grows old enough to make his own choices. The Silver Kingdoms didn't /begin/ as unified, glorious bastions of honor. They were trained that way, raised up, like youths nurtured to maturity. We're going to win this war, and we're going to turn Alethkar into a place that men will envy again. Not because of military prowess, but because people here are safe and because justice reigns." - Dalinar in Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
