| Twelve squares make one side |
The snow has finally melted here in Hampshire but it certainly was cold over the past week, so I was glad that I'd finished a new hot water bottle cover for my niece. As she's a Harry Potter fan I had used blue and a bronzey brown to reflect the colours of Ravenclaw house. Now, I know what you are going to say, this piece is actually crochet rather than knitting, which is perfectly true. However, this is ancient Woman's Weekly pattern makes an ideal cover to keep the toes toasty but not overheated. It is also about as far as my crochet skills will stretch, but I hope you will agree that it makes a striking piece.

Pompoms and hot water bottle covers - how versatile!! Keep up the good work, both knitting and wrting.
ReplyDeleteI like the new look to your blog, you are learning very fast. Great hot water bottle cover idea and I love the Harry Potter theme you have used. Children are a great inspiration for crafting projects.
