A sleeping fox cub curls around the teapot to keep warm, and a butterfly settles on his back…
If you like quirky tea cosies, foxes – and butterflies – this is for you.

The main cosy (body of the fox) is made using doubled DK yarn on 5.5 mm (US 9) needles. The rest of the fox and the butterfly is in single DK yarn on 3.5 mm (US 4) needles.
The butterfly, loosely modeled on a Monarch, is optional.
