Amigurumi Coca-Cola Bottle

This is the first pattern I have actually written out, so please forgive me for any mistakes.

Yarns: Small amount of Brown and Red. I use red heart for most of my projects.
Recommended Hook Size: G 4.25 mm
You'll also need a small amount of fiberfill.
Here are the links to tutorials for the Popcorn Stitch, the Magic Loop and the Invisible Decrease.
All decreases in this pattern are invisible. Also if you have difficulty reading abbreviations there is a good dictionary Here.

Note: In this pattern instead of making 5 dc for Popcorn st, I make six. And at the end of each row join with sl st to first st of row.

Bottle:
Row 1:  Create Magic Loop, ch 1, sc 5, join with sl st in first st.
Row 2:  Ch 2 (counts as first dc), dc 5 in same st as sl st, make Popcorn st, (when making first Popcorn, insert hook through second ch of ch 2), *ch 1, make Popcorn in next sc* rep from * to * 4 times, ch 1.
(5 Popcorns & 35 sts)
Row 3:  Ch 1, sc in top of each dc, skipping each ch 1. (30 sts)
Row 4:  Ch 1, sc in each sc around.
