My mother-in-law discovered the wonders of the hot water bottle (vs an electric heating pad) while visiting us in Australia. I want to make her a cover for the one she bought and your instructions/pattern are *exactly* what I was looking for. (The flap over the top of bottle as opposed to tying it closed around the neck.)

Thank you!!!

Would love to try, but how do i get/make a felted jumper? Do i have to hot wash and old jumper or something?

I'll have to try this one! Do you just put hot water in these things? Can they be used with ice as well? (American, can you tell)

Thank you for this tutorial! My hot water bottle cover was recently shredded in the wash, and it is absolutely impossible to find a new cover in Wisconsin (but you already knew that from your NY experience ;) ). I can't wait to make a new cover so I can stop using the pillow case my bottle is currently in!

Great tutorial! I really like how you have it made...

Great tutorial! I really like how you have it made with a flap in the middle of the cover. I have a sheep hot water bottle cover (for a now broken hot water bottle) that is super cute, but a pain to get the bottle in and out of the cover.

Thanks for the tutorial. I saw a covered hot water bottle at Chapters yesterday. Glad I didn't buy one. Now I can make my own.

I think, I really think, that I might actually have a go at this!!! Will be the first thing I have made for very very long time as have Very Little Skill. But looks so nice and we use hot water bottles all the time. Love the way those guys couldnt work out what you wanted!!
Glad I stopped by. Will let you know how I get on!

Thanks for sharing...i don't think you can buy hot water bottle anymore here in Australia.

What a superb idea! Thanks for sharing!

yes I made one of these earlier in the year and love it! I used a turtleneck which just goes over the top of the bottle! l-o-v-e your stripes though!

Thanks for a great tutorial! It is pretty chilly around here right now so I could do with a hot water bottle. I really like the fact that the cover all hand sewn. What a great idea! I love the big bunny too!

I love water bottles! They take me back to being a little girl. Only mine were wrapped in an old towel! I wish you had been my mum! Hee hee! Jen

Hi, I've just found your blog, thanks to Flickr. I love hot water bottles, so cosy.
I will be having a go at one of these covers, thanks so much for sharing a tutorial on this. I have plenty of time, it's nearly summer in Australia :)

I have been wanting to make a cover for my hot water bottle! The other day I had lines on my back where I was laying against it.

Very good idea!I will adopt it :0)Thanks,

What a fab tutorial - looks pretty easy too. I was thinking about getting a hottie for Milo but don't like the look of the rubber - I suppose I could do this with an old blankie of his too - ooh now you've set me off :-)

fab tutorial, bunny looks so cosy, now where is my hot water bottle, it could do with a nice new cover, but there's no chance of it getting a felted jumper - I bought a beautiful red jumper at a thrift store, felted in, and left it on the table, came back to find one very happy cat fast asleep and so pleased with the new bed he had found.......

I'd be lost without my hottie! - or at least my husband would, as he'd end up with my cold feet on his back without it ;-)

Fab hottie cover, great tutorial! We spent a week in Rome just before Christmas a few years ago and the apartment we were staying in was so cold we went and bought quite a few!

Fab tutorial Rachael! I do like a traditional hot water bottle myself as well - fancy them not having them in the States!! Big Bunny looks very cozy all cuddled up with it. :)
