The Scrappy Snuggler is a charming and practical knitting pattern designed to make use of leftover yarn. This snug cover transforms an ordinary hot water bottle into a cozy, colorful companion perfect for chilly nights or soothing aches and pains. The pattern features cheerful stripes that showcase scrappy yarn colors, making each hugger unique and vibrant.

See “Tips“ throughout the instructions to adjust to achieve the perfect fit.

yarn
This project is scrappy—use whatever sock yarn scraps you have on hand. You’ll need 4-5 colors of the same yarn. I recommend using a mostly wool sock yarn for best results. You will need a total of approximately 45g.

For this pattern I used Patons North America Kroy Sock yarn.
