Crochet a cosy hot water bottle cover

continued from page 1

Using A, make 5ch.
Round 1: 1ch, 12dc into ring, ss into first dc. Change to B.

Round 3: 1ch, 2dc into same place as ss, [1dc into next tr, 2dc in next tr] to last tr, 1dc in last tr.
36 sts. Fasten off.

Small motif

Using C, make 5ch, ss into first ch to form a ring.
Round 1: 3ch, 19tr into ring, ss into top of 3ch. Change to B.
Round 2: 1ch, 1dc into each tr. Fasten off.

To finish

Using the photograph as a guide, fold the work along the top of the marked rows, matching up shaping to form an 'envelope'.
With RS of work facing and using C, work a row of dc through both layers at the sides and top, taking the shaping around the top of the bottle into account (3 layers of work will need to be joined where the flap is formed).

Slip stitch motifs into place, again using the photograph as a guide.
