Look whooooo’s my best friend, the snowy owl just said !

This PDF Crochet Pattern will guide you to crochet (using US crochet terminology) a hot water bottle cover as shown in pictures, made using soft acrylic yarn DK / 8 ply (wool or cotton will be suitable too) and crochet hooks J (6 mm) and E (3,5 mm).
There will be an opening on the back side to insert your hot water bottle easily, with a button closure.

The owl’s body / cover works up quickly by crocheting it with 2 strands of yarn, held together. This will also have a nice and soft, thick and insulating effect on the cover. All other parts will be worked up using a single strand of yarn.
Stylecraft Special DK was used to create the owl in the pictures. Instructions for the mouse are also included !
