Seamless crochet hot water bottle cover with drawstring.

Most of the cover is done amigurumi-style, ie no need to join at the end of each round or use stitch markers.

I used Wendy Merino Chunky (12-14 ply) with a 5mm hook, but the pattern is flexible and can easily be modified for any yarn. However, I recommend using a yarn that is not ‘prickly’, and that can be machine washed.

Instructions are in English crochet terms with American crochet terms in brackets.
