TEA COSY
TRY THIS PATTERN. For a tea cosy try this pattern: Knit in any colour, say stripes of 1 inch wide, making the cosy Bin wide and 25 in long. Use stocking stitch. ( First make an oval Bin long and 6in wide at the widest part. Pad one side with cotton wool and cover all (both sides with any kind of material). Then make a bolster of legs of woollen stockings, one over the other, and keep stitching here and there till it is quite an inch thick and very firm. Cover this with the knitting and neatly top sew it on the bottom which you have already covered. When well sewn turn inside out and the cosy is complete. The oval with padded sides is for under the teapot and helps to keep it very warm.
