• Remember that This pattern is worked as two rectangular panels joined on the sides and a “neck” worked in the round
• Both panels are worked with Trinity st and the “neck” is worked with Fpdc stitch

instructions:

Front Panel – color A

Chain multiples of 2 – for this sample I chained 28

Row1: Sc1 in 2nd ch from hook, work trinity st across the length of the foundation row. DO NOT ch 1 for the last Trinity st of the row , SC 1 in the last ch. Ch 1 and turn.

Row 2: Sc 1 in 1st st from hook and work trinity st across. DO NOT ch 1 for the last Trinity st of the row, SC 1 in the last ch. Ch 1 and turn. Each row will have the same number of trinity st.

Next Rows 3-18: Rep row 2

Construction:

Lay two panels right side in and sew both sides to join- use any joining technique you prefer, it can be using a slip stitch or single crochet stitch or sewing with a tapestry needle working two middle bars of each stitch.

We will leave the bottom part open to insert the hot water bottle.

Now, according to the hot water bottle you have, measure the center and the hole size needed. Mark using stitch markers, and sew both sides of the “neck” hole using the same technique.

“Neck”- color B

Work on the right side out 

Round 1: Introduce yarn Ch 1 and Sc 1 in each st around, in my case a total of 23 stitches, Sl st to 1st Sc. 

Now Round 2: Ch 3 , Dc1 in next st, Dc 1 in next and around to end of round, Sl st to 3rd Ch

Round 3: Ch3, Fpdc in next st, Fpdc in next and around to end of round, Sl st to 3rd Ch.
