This is a reasonably cute hot water bottle I designed for a penguin-obsessed pal as a housewarming gift. I used dk yarn held double so as to create a thick fabric to stop one from burning oneself on the hot rubber, and the cosy opens at the back for easy access as well as at the neck for easy refilling. You will need 3 buttons as well as the dk yarn.
