Notes

Recently I got a LOOOOONG hot water bottle, and took a quick break from my rainbow cardigan to knit it a rainbow cover. (Using leftovers from the cardigan, mostly!)

I just knit a tube with a modified sock toe, didn’t concern myself about jogs at the joins, made little shoulders with some decreases, then ribbing to be snuggly around the neck. Some yarns were held double or triple to get the right weight. Easy squeezy.

A couple of the yarns listed were overdyed by me to make them fit the colour scheme (Winter Green -> a darker green, Indie Blue -> a pinky mauve) plus I used a couple of small un-stashed scraps.
