One of my friends recently asked me to make a cute little bottle warmer for her cousins new little girl. I struggled to find a pattern that I really liked! I ended up combining the heart stitch, star stitch and bead stitch. This resulted in an adorable little cozie perfect to keep any warmed bottle of milk ready for your bub. You can find the pattern for free below, or you can download an ad free version the pattern from my raverly store.
What you need:
- Yarn: aran weight yarn 45g approx.
- 40g in colour A and 5g in Colour B.
- I used Poppy value ball from spotlight. (50g=68m)
- 5mm hook
Stitches you will need to know:
Note, this pattern is in US terms.
SC: Single Crochet
INC: Two SC in the same stitch

CH: Chain
Bead: Bead stitch. One Bead: DC, *yarn over, insert hook behind the post of the DC, yarn over and pull through* repeat from * to * two more times. Yarn over and pull through.
Star:star stitch
How to star stitch: To start CH3. Draw a loop through the second chain from the hook, draw a loop through the third chain from the hook draw a loop through the base stitch of the CH3, draw a loop in the next stitch across, draw a loop through the next stitch across. you should now have six loops on your hoop. yarn over and pull through all 6 loops. CH1. This makes the first part of the star.
For all following stars pull a loop through the eye of the star (made from the CH1), a loop in between the lower spile of the star, the base stitch of the previous star and the next two stitches, yarn over, pull through all stitches. CH1.
