Ok, you absolutely need to make this, and gift this. This hottie hot water bottle cover is just too cute! It almost makes me look forward to the aches and pains that come with knitting… almost, LOL!

I am always looking for creative ways to use up my yarn stash, and this zero waste project is now one of my all-time faves. Bulky scrap yarn in any color combo you choose and a fun textured pattern make it so easy to create. The addition of a little bow closure with pom poms just gives it LIFE. Everyone needs to smile when they aren’t feeling their best!

Needles: US 15 (10 mm) 16” circulars. If your yarn is very bulky and you are a loose knitter, you may want to size down to US 13 (9 mm) needles

This pattern works well with a ton of different yarns, so shop your stash!
