Note : This is the first knitting pattern I have designed! I hope you like it but I welcome any feedback or constructive criticism - please be nice :)

This pattern is for a hot water bottle cover. It is knitted seamlessly in the round from the bottom up using the magic loop method with half the total number of stitches on each of the two needles at a time. It includes a gorgeous stranded colourwork section, a ribbed fold-over cuff and 3 buttons. Also included is a web link to a helpful tutorial for a special cast-on that will be used.
