Below is the pattern I printed out… I obviously didn’t follow it, because I knit.  This is a heavily adapted model that I left open at the top, stitched Theobromine on the side and filled with chocolate before handing over to my chemistry teacher.  Good Times!

Materials:
Blue yarn (or color of your choice; any weight; size of flask will vary depending on yarn weight)
White yarn (same weight and preferably same brand as blue)
Size F crochet hook (or size needed for tight crochet
Two plastic safety eyes, googly eyes, or yarn/floss for embroidering eyes
Black embroidery floss
Fiberfill or other stuffing
Stitch marker

Gauge:
Gauge is not important. Finished size will vary depending on yarn weight, hook size, and tightness of crochet

Round 1: Magic Loop (or double ring) 6 stitches in blue or color of choice (or chain 2 and sc 6 times in 2nd chain from hook); place stitch marker. Move stitch marker to last stitch at end of each round.
Round 2: inc in each sc around (= 12 sc)
Round 3: (sc in first sc, inc in next sc) around (= 18 sc)
Round 4: (sc in first two sc, inc in next sc) around (= 24 sc)
Round 5: (sc in first three sc, inc in next sc) around (= 30 sc)
Round 6: (sc in first four sc, inc in next sc) around (= 36 sc)
Round 7: (sc in first five sc, inc in next sc) around (= 42 sc)
Round 8: (sc in first six sc, inc in next sc) around (= 48 sc)
Round 9: sc around in back loops only
Round 10: sc around
Round 11: (sc in first six sc, dec) around (= 42 sc)
Rounds 12 – 13: sc around
Round 14: (sc in first five sc, dec) around (= 36 sc)
Rounds 15 – 17: sc around
Round 18: (sc in first four sc, dec) around (= 30 sc)
Rounds 19 – 20: sc around

Round 24: (sc in first sc, dec) around (= 12 sc)
Stuff firmly.
Round 25: dec around (= 6 sc)
Pull tightly and finish off.

Round 1: Join white yarn in front loop of first sc of blue Round 23 and sc around (= 24 sc)
**Explanation- Since you only decreased in the back loops of round 23 above, there will still be 24 front loops into which the white can be joined and crocheted.**
Round 2: (sc in first two sc, dec) around (= 18 sc)
Rounds 3 – 4: sc around
Round 5: (sc in first four sc, dec) around (= 15 sc)
