Hottie




On a cold winter's night there's nothing cosier than snuggling up in your bed with a nice warm hottie. I crocheted this thick warm hottie cover based on the pattern that I shared here. I adapted it a bit because this yarn was SO thick (bonus: it worked up very quickly!) and embellished the finished cover with a delicate snowflake. This is for The Hottie Project, a collaborative project where crafters around the country are making hottie covers to donate to children in Christchurch. If you'd like to make a hottie cover or two there's still time - for more information see here.

I'm also linking up to the Matariki Crafting Linky at Tartan Kiwi.

  1. You are very talented! My grandmother tried to show me how to knit, crochet, etc...but I was more into messy creative projects, and I could never sit still enough--I wish I did now :-) I enjoy seeing all the things you make..robbie

    1. Thanks Robbie! Crochet "speaks" to me more than other crafts like knitting etc, so I always come back to it. Plus you can make really useful things :)
