Snug Hot Water Bottle Cover

With the cost of living and not having the heating on as much it was time to get my hot water out. I haven't used it for years and it had an awful hard and scratchy cover on it that came with it. I wanted something soft and cosy to cuddle so made my hot water bottle in a new jumper in pure merino wool. Garter stitch is my favourite stitch so I made a stripy one but it can always be made plain if that's preferred. Why not raid your stash as I did and use up those odd balls?

This pattern will fit a standard hot water bottle 26 cm x 20 cm excluding the neck.
