I've recently got into making tea cosies, started with one for myself for my work teapot, made a couple on request for a friend, I then found I couldn’t stop so here I am with a folksy shop!
I’ve always loved a granny square and it was these that got me into crochet in the first place, I rather like this style and the ease of not having to concentrate as much when creating them so have made a few in various colourways as takes my fancy. Happy to take commissions via Folksy to suit your colour scheme.

Full description
Shabby chic, vintage look tea cosy crocheted in retro granny square style using acrylic DK yarn. This one in yellow, burnt orange, purple with a purple border.
There is an opening for the spout and a flap at the back for the handle with a crocheted bobble fastener. The top is pulled closed with a drawstring featuring crocheted bobble ends.
I made it to fit a medium sized 4-6 cup teapot, Price & Kensington brand to be specific but does also fit the other generic teapots I use as models for my woolly wonders.
But will it keep your tea hot?
It will to a point. It is only a single layer of crochet. It will keep it hotter than using nothing at all but not as hot as a lined, insulated one.
I couldn’t say how long it will keep your teapot hot for as I haven’t done any scientific testing, just personal use of a single strand thin cosy which lasts up to 40-50mins because it never takes me any longer than that to polish off a full pot by myself!
It can be washed by hand. For my own personal ones I only spot wash the tea stains under a tap with a dot of washing-up liquid. Never had a problem doing that.
PLEASE NOTE, LISTING IS FOR THE TEA COSY ONLY TO FIT YOUR OWN 4-6 CUP (2 pint/1.2 litre) TEAPOT
Will post using Royal Mail Tracked 48.
