Yesterday I talked about Margery's tea cosies. This tea cosy began life as a hat. I found this beautifully knitted hat at a thrift shop. Unfortunately it is too tight for an adult head and not proportioned quite right for a small child's (too long in length).
So what to do with it? I thought that it would make a lovely tea cosy. I just had to sew rows of stitches (to stop the knitting from unraveling) where the openings would be for the handle and spout and then carefully cut an opening between the rows of stitches.
As warm and cheerful as a patterned sweater, it made a very cosy tea cosy.
