A Simple Tea-Pot Cosy.
ThU tea-pot cosy is made of two shaped pieces of crochet sewn together on the right side, the join being hidden by a deep rucking of looped crochet ; a smart bow adorns the top. This cosy has no lining, so that it can be readily washed, and look as good as new after the process has been carefully gone through. The stitch used is generally what is known as “ tufted ” crochet. First of all crechet a chain the length you require ; it must be an equal number of threes ; then crochet one double into first chain and one double second chain. Put the wool round tlfe hook and crochet a double into the third chain. This leaves two stitches on the hook. Crochet two more doubles into the same chain stitch iu the same way. After each double crotchet there are two stitches left on the 'hook. When the three have been completed crochet the two on the hook together, As one of these has been on the hook before the three double chefc worked into one chain were begun, and one is the last stitch taken, it can be readily seen that the twT?“fcroohet together raise the others and form a little lump or tuft. With this simple explanation, the cosys may be easily worked.
Looped crochet is done by binding the wool once round a piece,of folded paper between each double crochet.. The length of the loops can be varied—oneinch loops are pretty. % This cosy would look well worked in forget-me-not blue fleecy wool—four ply" —as this washes so well. "*lngrain colors should, of .course, be chosen. The cosy is shaped by simply missing a stitch at beginning of each line after a few rows have been worked.
