Thread end through the stitches on the needle and pull tightly together for the top, then sew a couple inches down the side. Leaving an opening in the middle of the seam for the handle, sew about 1-1½ inches up from the bottom. Before finishing off the ends, you may want to check the size of the opening by putting it onto the teapot. I worked a single crochet stitch around the opening edge to finish it but you may choose to leave it plain. I also did a single crochet edging around the bottom of the cozy to firm up that edge.

Cut yarn, leaving about 10-12 inches for sewing. Thread end through the stitches on the needle and pull tightly together for the top, then sew a couple inches down the side. Leaving an opening in the middle of the seam for the handle, sew about 1" up from the bottom. Before finishing off the ends, you may want to check the size of the opening by putting it onto the teapot. I did the single crochet edge around both the handle opening and the bottom edge on this tea cozy also. See Abbreviations and the Glossary for help. |
