Standard & Wearable Hot Water Bottle Covers with Hand Warming Pouch

What a wearable hot water bottle cover I hear you ask? Well, its the perfect way to stay warm outdoors (or indoors too).  If you are the Mum standing at the side of the sports pitch shivering whilst cheering on your kids, then this is what you need. You can plunge your hands into the super cosy hand-warming pouch and feel warm and toasty. You will love it so much you will want to tell all your friends (who are also shivering beside you) all about it.

Customer Testimonials:

  • “My friend absolutely adores this for her wild sea swimming and greatly appreciated getting it as a gift.”
  • “Fantastic item, really pleased with it—ideal for the bird hide.”
  • "This pattern was amazing and made something very daunting easily doable. Full-colour step-by-step instructions held your hand throughout. I can't fault them. I made a cover for my daughter for wild swimming and chose to make all the straps detachable so she could use it in the house as well.”
  • “Beautiful water bottle cover. I love these so much. Andrea is so wonderful to deal with.” 

Have you tried our cosy Wearable Hot Water Bottle Covers!

They were first designed for a local
nurse who is wild about her cold-water swimming.  Check out my blog for the full story.

The brief I was given:

  • It had to be easy to put on (because it's cold in the sea
    around Shetland and cold fingers aren’t the most mobile)
  • It had to be washable (it would end up covered in salt water
    – you can use your own imagination on how)
  • If possible, could it please have a pouch to warm up those
    poor cold fingers

In the end, I came up with a traditional-style Hot Waterbottle Cover but with some extra special features:

  • It has a super cosy cuddle fleece hand-warming pouch
  • The waistband strap was elasticated with an easy-to-use plastic buckle and adjustable up to 50 inches upstretched
  • A neck strap that was adjustable so you can decide where you want to wear it on your front (great for the dreaded time of the month, you know what I mean ladies)
  • Both straps are detachable so if you don’t want to wear them, you don’t have to
  • Thermal insulation is quilted into the front of the Hot Water Bottle Cover to keep it as warm as possible for as long as possible
  • Rear envelope closure with button or metal snap. This makes it easy to access your up to 2-litre hot water bottle for easy filling
  • Fully machine washable – you can throw it in your machine on a gentle cycle, then hang it on the line to dry and it will be as good as new

Although they were designed for cold water swimming they arejust as useful for many others:

  • Mums who have to stand at the side of the sports field supporting their little ones
  • Office workers in the winter months
  • Aurora hunters – read more about this in my Tips and Trick blog
