Simple Shell and Posy Tea Cozy
Done in soft pink and white, this tea cozy is a wonderful accessory for a spring tea party or a break in the garden with a good book. The texture of the shell stitches and the crocheted posies displayed on top give the cozy a romantic look.
Cherry Drawstring Bag Tea Cozy
The title of this crochet cozy implies the teapot is inside a bag. While that may be true, there is no bottom to the bag. Made using two strands of yarn, this tea cozy comes together very quickly.
Tea Cozy Pattern Tips and Adjustments
If you need to adjust the size or appearance of your crocheted cozy, try some of these suggestions.
- Thinner or bulkier yarn can be used on either pattern. The customized instructions ensure a perfect fit.
- Yarn colors are, of course, a personal preference. Choose colors that match your own style or home decor.
- For tall teapots, adjust and make a beginning chain at least two inches taller than the pot for the drawstring bag cozy.
- Silk flowers can be substituted for the crocheted posies. Simply stitch or glue them to the top of the cozy.
- Large wooden beads can be substituted for the crocheted cherries. Add a bit of hot glue in the holes and insert the drawstring ends.
