Knitters, we need you!

19th October 2023

Many people facing financial hardship are having to choose between heating or eating.  Due to the economic crisis, some are going without both!

Last year, we gave out lots of hot water bottles, each with a hand knitted or crocheted cover. We will be doing the same this winter, so we need more knitted hot water bottle covers please.

Suggested knitting pattern:

The main part of the hot water bottle is 26.5 cm x 19.5 cm.

The top of the hot water bottle is 5.5 cm x 4.0 cm.

Here’s a crochet pattern:
