The Design

“Get cozy!”

One of our more pragmatic little classics is our Hot Water Bottle Cozy. It knits up in a trice and Rowan Kid Classic’s wide array of colors means you can easily make one for him or her in a shade they'll love. And we've long been fans of adding simple color work to this easy project—download our free charts for hearts - repeating hearts or a single heart, snowflakes, and Scotties!

Pick up the Churchmouse Hot Water Bottle Cozy pattern above (if you don't already own it), then choose from Kid Classic's wide-ranging color selection.
