Tea Cosy from the 80's

 

In the late 80's, some friends and I noodled this cozy pattern out from a cozy that one of them purchased in Ireland, and I've never found a pattern for it on the web until today. That pattern is different in that the woman who created it from an old 1940's publication does a sort of checkerboard pattern with the two yarns.

This makes a great, warm hat, too, but it's a bit inflexible. My kids used theirs for hats.

I will put up the pattern for mine in a few days once I get it orderly. It's a scribbled job. I'll let you see what I'm dealing with by posting the original. How we did this, from just the original cozy, I'll never know. Right now I have to go rescue my Man. Tata! Have a great day!
