This is a wonderfully soft and squishy feeling hot water bottle cover when you make it in Hobbii Snowstorm. I would recommend this pattern for a beginner with a bit of experience doing increases. I ended up kfb to do my increases so there wouldn’t be any holes. The designer did not give a gauge for the pattern so if you are a tighter knitter or have a hot water bottle with a hanging loop at the bottom purchase an extra skein of yarn. The pattern calls for 2 skeins but I needed 3 skeins. I will make this again to give as quick gifts.

Super straightforward and easy to understand pattern! It was also a great first project to learn magic loop knitting and get comfortable with it

This is a very simple pattern, but it works well for its intended purpose. The details in the pattern are a bit vague (e.g. it just tells you to increase by a particular number of stitches, without specifying what kind of increase to use, or at what intervals), so only recommended if you're a confident knitter who just wants a guide for the general construction of this kind of pattern. I do love the way the seed stitch looks on the finished project.
