Materials:
Size 10 cotton thread color of your choice
288 pcs. size 8 seed beads in contrasting color
Size 7 steel hook

Thread seed beads before starting to crochet. The neck of the bottle I am using is about 51/2” in diameter. You will be working in rounds. No need to turn every round.

Chain 40. Join with slip stitch to form a ring.

Round 1 Chain 11. Slip stitch into fifth chain from hook. Chain 5 then join with slip stitch to form a ring. Hdc 10X into ring adding a bead in the last thread over. Make sure bead is snug. Join to base of 1st hdc so it will look round (like a flower). Chain 11 then skip 4 chains and slip stitch into next chain. Make another beaded flower. Do this until you have 8 (chain 11) loops and 8 beaded flowers. Join last loop (8th) to 1st loop.

Rounds 2-6 Slip stitch until you reach the 6th chain of first loop in previous round. *Chain 11. Slip stitch into next loop (6th chain of previous loop). Push 3 beads near hook and slip stitch into same chain. Repeat * 7 more times. Join.

Round 7 Slip stitch until you reach the 6th chain of previous loop. Chain 11 slipping 1 bead into each chain made. Join with slip stitch to 6the chain of previous loop. Do this 7 more times. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

You can add more rows (2-6) if you want your bottle to be more fully covered like a gown. You can add another row of beaded chains so you will have double swags for the hem. Chain 15 -16 beads to have a nice drape. 

when you say, "slip a bead on" ... how do you do that? The #10 thread is too big to go through some of the sead beads that I have, and when your crocheting from a ball I don't understand how you can slip it on, there's no break in the thread ... sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'd really love your help.

Hi! If you use size 8 seed beads you won't have trouble threading beads. Have you tried crocheting with beads? You usually add the bead on the last thread over. Thread all the beads first before starting to crochet. I hope this helps.

No, I've never crocheted with beads before. I made some pineapple design book marks and wanted to add beads, but ended up using the beading thread to add them to the bookmark. So, if I understand this right: You thread your #10 crochet thread on a needle and then thread as many beads as you think you'll need (and in order if they are different) for your project. Then you use your crochet hook and start, pushing the beads back on the thread until you need them. As you use them you add them during the last "thread over" of that particular stitch? Thanks for your help, I'll check out more things on your site! I LOVE to crochet, knit, and cross stitch.
