Tea pot cosy in action:
Yarn: Cascade Casablanca - 1.25 skeins
The density of the crocodile stitch makes a thick cosy that retains heat well. I left this pot for an hour and a half to go out and run some errands. The tea was still warm when I got back. I mean, it was lukewarm but that's technically still 'warm'.
I sewed both sides together, leaving an opening for the handle and spout. I didn't do anything fancy for the top; just knit a cotton i-cord to draw through the top scallops and cinch it closed:
I used cotton to make the cord more durable- there will be a lot of cinching/tying/cinching/tying in the future.
Love this cosy- it's bright and colorful. It's making me drink more tea, which is good. I'm already thinking about the next cosy to make...
