Christmas Hot Water Bottle Cover

14 ct, stitched over 1

Fab to make for someone special - or keep to yourself! - we adore this oh-snow-gorgeous hot water bottle cover! The weather outside might be frightful, but when you've got this quirky-cute make to cosy up with, then it won't matter one bit! Adorned with lots of details, from holly jolly snowmen with little carrot noses to the heart-motif mittens at the centre, the fun design across the front of this polka dot cover means it's an ideal make for all ages, even tricky-to-buy-for teenagers. Worked with no fractional stitches, and just four French knots for the snowmen's eyes, even novice stitchers will breeze through this playful project. The pale blue aida gives it an instant frosty backdrop, and you'll use just 10 thread shades in total for a contemporary colour pop. And thanks to our handy tutorial guide for making up the finished hot water bottle cover, you'll love this project even if you're not so confident with a sewing machine! So whether you need a winter birthday make, or maybe fancy something new for yourself, this idea will be fun to try.
