Show & Tell - A Crochet Hottie Cover Tutorial

Hi! Come in, come in - glad to have you here : )

Show & Tell Thursday's

Are you familiar with the awesome Hottie Project?  If not, go and have a look - it's a neat cause and there are so many ways in which you can participate.

After seeing these gorgeous hot water bottle covers I really really wanted to crochet a few... but to find a pattern...  so I made one up and thought I would share the "how to" with you.  (Disclaimer: I have made this up and tried my best to record it accurately and in a "user friendly" manner.  If you come across any inaccuracies or something that doesn't make sense please let me know and I'll try to remedy it!)

This pattern is now for sale in my Etsy Shop - thank you!

For June we have a brand new awesome giveaway!  PaperVine was one of the first blogs I followed and I've been a great admirer of Lowri's work.  I'm sure you've stumbled upon her creations and no doubt the scrapbookers among you know of her!  Well she has an online store selling gorgeous items and this month's winner will win a $40 gift voucher to go wild with at the shop!


Lowri is also offering a 15% shop discount for all you lovely readers during June!  Just use the code SUNSHINE at checkout.  I hope you agree - it's awesome!

Okay you inspirational lovelies - go forth, link up, be inspired, share the love!  And thanks for stopping by and being fantastic!
Have a great Friday Eve!

    Thanks for sharing the tutorial! I will definitely give this a go. I had been rather unsuccessfully trying to sit down and come up with my own pattern but was struggling.
