Add a splash of sass to your tea time with Hen Stefani! This fabulously flamboyant chicken tea cosy is here to keep your brew toasty and your kitchen cluckin’ with style.

Standing a glorious 10 inches tall and bursting with personality, this coop queen is crocheted in cheerful worsted weight yarns, topped with a colourful comb and a lacy collar that says, “I woke up this way.” Perfect for intermediate crocheters looking to strut their stuff, this project is equal parts cozy and comedy.

Designed to fit a standard 6-cup teapot, she’s partially stuffed with polyester fibrefill for that full-feathered diva silhouette. Eggs, toes, tail feathers, and facial features are made separately and attached for maximum dimension (and maximum drama).
