Christmas Elf Knitting Pattern PDF 2 Litre Hot Water Bottle Cover 25cm Toy

Create two coordinating Christmas projects with this chunky knitting pattern for an elf-themed hot-water-bottle cover and a matching stuffed elf toy.

The festive cover features a green and white striped lower section, a bright red upper section, a ribbed bottle opening and a pointed white trim decorated with small gold bells. A four-button opening along the lower edge makes it easier to insert and remove the hot-water bottle.

The matching elf toy wears a red outfit with a black belt, a white scarf and a long green hat. Pointed ears, striped legs and a tiny bell on the hat complete the festive design.
