If you’re looking for a quick make or a great stash buster, this hot water bottle cover is perfect!

They are also ideal for making a unique, cosy gift.

The cover can be made in a few hours, and is suitable for an advanced beginner.

The pattern is designed to fit a 2 litre hot water bottle but can be easily adapted to fit different sizes.

The pattern is in both UK and US terminology, and provides instructions for a solid and striped design.

Yarn: DK / light worsted - I used about 80g of main colour for the solid design, and around 10g of the flower and edging colours. For the striped design you can use as many colours as you like!

Other materials: hot water bottle, 4mm / G hook, sewing needle.
