A PAIR OF TEAPOTS

I decided to take a break from my large crochet blanket project this weekend for a quick tea cosy fix. Although I have a fine mix of cosies for my teapots I wanted one that shouted granny from the rooftops & as I have been fiddling with stitches to crochet a granny straight line rather than a square I thought I would have a go at a tea cosy using this method.

Pretty simple really just crocheted a chain until it reached round the base of my pot & then got trebling…breaking the thread 1/2 way to leave a gap for the spout, decreased a few at the top, a bit of fancy picot edging & done & dusted.
The teal one I used a alternate rows of trebles & cluster stitches until I reached the top of the pot then continued with plain trebles to make the decreasing easier….
I am rather chuffed with my new additions and my teapots are too

  3. I love your multi-colored teapot cozy. I'm a beginner in crocheting and have always had modern taste until I discovered crochet and now I love everything country, homely, cozy and old world, I would really love to make a cozy for a teapot like you have.
    I've just finished crocheting an orange and turquoise cover for my partners ipad so that the screen won't break, as the last one's screen got crushed as he was packing a full suitcase for a trip to France.
    Alan got teased about the colors of his ipad but now every one in the family wants cell phone covers crocheted. My mom's got a Tracfone LG800G smart phone, prepaid and has a large touch screen, it cost her $50 and I was surprised she only pays $7/month for service, she wants a pink and orange cover so her touch screen doesn't scratch.
    Oh I'm having soo much fun crocheting, I'm addicted and I can't believe how much cheaper it is to make your own goodies than it is to buy the same thing in the shops.
