Unicorn Hot Water Bottle Cover Knitting Pattern Snoo's Knits
Craft a delightful and cuddly hot-water-bottle cover that unicorn enthusiasts will adore! Choose your favorite colors, and transform bedtime into a magical experience for kids and adults alike! For that extra whimsical touch, consider using glitter yarn for the unicorn's mane and tail to add a bit of sparkle and shimmer.
This knitting project involves using chunky wool, making the cover both robust and durable. The thicker yarn prevents the cover from stretching out and losing its shape over time. Additionally, working with thick wool means you'll complete this fun creation more quickly, allowing you to enjoy the cozy benefits sooner.
In this pattern, you'll learn to master a variety of stitches: knit front and back (kfb), knit two together (k2tog), purl two together (p2tog), slip one knitwise (sl1k), slip one purlwise (sl1p), and slip one knitwise, knit one, pass slipped stitch over (sl1k1psso). These techniques will not only enhance your skills but also add unique details to your magical unicorn cover.
Gather your materials for this enchanting project:
- • 300g of thick white wool for the body; I used King Cole Super Chunky, Shade 1758, “White.”
- • 100g of a contrasting color yarn; I opted for King Cole Super Chunky Shade 3400, “Brass.”
- • A pair of knitting needles – I used UK size 2 [7.0mm, approximate US size 10½].
- • A large tapestry needle for seamless finishing.
- • Two toy safety eyes (I chose eyes that are 26mm in diameter) or two black buttons for added charm.
- • 4 large poppers (press studs or snap fasteners) – mine measured 1.5cm in diameter.
- • Stuffing to give your unicorn cover a plush feel.
- • A 2-litre hot-water bottle; I used a Cassandra-branded bottle, measuring 20cm by 32cm including the neck.
Get ready to knit this wonderful hot-water-bottle cover that's perfect for snuggling up on chilly nights. Not only is it a practical item, but it also makes a lovely gift for friends and family who share a passion for unicorns. Happy knitting, and may your bedtime be filled with magic and warmth!
