Teacosies as a practicality, never seem to go out of fashion. They lend themselves to whimsical creative experiments while keeping the tea hot at the same time.
Thank you for the comment :-) The tea cosies were especially made for a Maxwell Williams teapot, so the size and shape wasn't a standard one. They were knitted in garter stitch with very thick chunky wool, on 6.00mm needles. This might give you an idea of gauge for designing one. I made the sides separate, then when stitching together, left a space for the spout and handle. The crochet flowers were invented experimentally... and I'm sorry, but don't have a pattern for them - or the cosy. Best wishes from Shirley
I love your tea cosies. So cute.
