Whatever your skill level with crochet, I always recommend reading through this pattern before beginning. Get in touch if you need any help completing the pattern.

The tea cosy is worked in 2 panels before sewing together.
Ch1 at the beginning of the rows DO NOT count as a stitch.
To ensure a good fit, check the length of the 1st row fits between the spout and the handle loosely.
