This is a generic pattern that you can modify to fit your Hot Water Bottle (HWB). Assumption is made that the knitter understands basic knitting terminology or has knitting dictionary available to them.
Materials:
• Appx 140 yards worsted wt yarn (I used 1 ¼ skeins of Trendsetter “Tonalita”)
• US #7 double points or US #7 12” circular
• US #9 16” circular
• 1 marker
• tapestry needle
• scissors
On size US #7 needles, cast on 44 stitches or more/fewer as needed for your HWB).
Place a marker and join to knit in the round.
Knit 2x2 ribbing for 4” or until ribbing is long enough to cover the neck of your HWB.
Change to US #9 needle and Knit 2 rows in pattern.
Next row: *K2, P2, M1* around. Stitches increased to 54 if you are following the pattern as written.
If additional width is needed for your HWB, knit 1 row and then on the next row increase 4 stitches evenly around. Repeat these 2 optional rows until it will slide over your HWB.
Knit every row for 7 ½ inches or so to fit the “body” of your HWB.
Still on US 9 needles, knit 2x2 ribbing for 3” or until long enough to cover your HWB.
Bind off in pattern. Weave in ends and enjoy!

Beautiful!!! Gosh, those colors!! I like that you made the patterned gathered with ribbing at the bottom instead of a closure. That'll make it a lot easier to get Maks in and out for refilling.
Love it! The colors are wonderful!
I reallly like your using the ribbing instead of closure. This will work with someone with limited dexterity in the hands.
Hi and thanks for this pattern, i have done it in different yarn and added a pocket to the front and I am so pleased with it(see my project in Ravelry) I tried to attribute it to you but im fairly new and i dont think it worked out right.Made it for my friends xmas so i hope she likes it.
