This hot water bottle cover is made using the most snuggly soft yarn I have worked with to date! The interesting cable pattern is on one side only, so it doesn’t impede the warmth that comes through on the reverse.

It has been made to fit a regular-sized hottie. The opening is a slit on the back, so the bottle can be slid in - the collar stretches to fit around the neck of the hwb. An internal flap at the back opening ensures that the hottie body is completely covered by crocheted fabric.

I used two skeins of different colours of the Kartopu Melange yarn, but you could use just one colour, or go crazy and use half-a-dozen!
