This cold weather creates a demand for hotter tea, but—unless the teapot has a protecting cosy, the “second cup” will be unhappily tepid. So, we make a tea cosy. Then, to prevent the breakfast egg from losing ¡ts heat there is a charming little cosy, which matches big brother on the teapot.

Half a dozen egg cosies will be needed to go with the tea cosy and make a set. You will require 1 pair No. 9 [US5, 3.75mm] needles, 1 pair No. 6 [US8, 5.00mm] needles, 2 skeins grey sports wool, 1 skein blue sports wool, and a small quantity of red wool.
