Who would have thought that I would use my just recently released Snowflake Hot Water Bottle Cozy myself in such a short time?!
But with single digit and teen temperatures over night and with my hubby out of town, I have nowhere to warm my icicle feet! And cold feet sure keep the sleep from coming and that is not a good thing if you have your mind going at a hundred miles an hour anyway…
I’ve found that a cup of hot chamomile tea with a teaspoon of raw, unfiltered honey nicely warms up my body from the inside, the chamomile aroma calms down my soul and the warm snowflake clad bottle by the feet chases away my cold feet… ah, bliss and I am off dreaming…
What are you doing to fall asleep when your mind is still busy?
BTW, the snowflake cozy fits a standard 8″ x 10″ hot water bottle and sports the snowflake on both sides. It has a cute picot bind-off and you can either use a 20″ long ribbon or crochet a foundation chain for the tie.
I’ve used Lion Brand’s Cotton Ease #113 Cherry for this cozy and it is really soft against your skin. I was pleasantly surprised and you can machine wash it too.
The pattern has written out instructions to knit it flat or in the round as well as instructions to work it off a chart flat or in the round. It knits up really quickly and uses less than one skein of yarn! Love it. 🙂
Well, it is getting late and my cup of chamomile tea is calling my name. Have a wonderful night of sleep with nice warm feet.
