Vintate Thingie Thursday - Teapot cozied up

Today is Vintage Thingie Thursday and I am late getting my post up.

This is a vintage teapot given to me by one of my daughters for my birthday many  years ago.

I may have featured it before.

It is John Haddock & Sons

England

Royal Vitreous.

Every time I use this I burn my hand trying to hold the handle and pour the tea.

Several folks have told me that I need a teapot cozy.

Well, after getting into crocheting again around Christmas I have run into many great patterns.

Also I had lots of yarn left over.

So using this cotton yarn, so that it could be washed, I made a cozy for this teapot.

 

Ties around the spout hold the cozy on.

 Ties across the handle help secure the cover on.

The strap goes through the handle and buttons on.

Enlarge to see the button.

Friends Forever.

I only had the yellow and white cotton yarn but I would like pink and white for this teapot, so I need to go shopping.

The pattern is for 4, 6 or 8 cup teapots.

Been a lot of tea drinking going on around here with all the cold, snow and dreary days.

Tea is good for the body and soul.

If anyone is interested, let me know and I will make you a cozy. 

This cozy could be decorated with charms, beads, flowers or any other attachable cutsey thing.

Leave a comment if interested and we can e-mail about the specifics.
