My daughter loves a hot water bottle. During the winter months, it is a permanent feature of her days at home, as well as her nights. Her old original ‘Emily’ hot water bottle, one of my very first designs for my old LibbyTDesigns website back in 2007, was getting a little worn out with all this use, so I promised to design her a new one. In the end, she had quite a large part in the design process and I let her lose with my chart software. This is what we created together. I hope you enjoy knitting it and using it as much as we did.
