Tea cozy

Tea is definitely my go-to hot beverage, and tea cozies are a wonderfully cute thing to knit. We got a new teapot, and so needed a new tea cozy. I chose the green and grey to match the blue and grey cozy I knit about a year ago. I have this teapot in three different sizes, and the blue/green/yellow one (the largest) is the first cozy I made, as practice for the blue/grey one. Both the blue/grey and green/grey cozies have a bit of a gap behind the handle. For the blue/grey one, I decided to make a little flap with buttons. The green/grey one had a much smaller gap, so I decided to make little ties, so one can tie the cozy into place. We rarely actually use the buttons on the blue/grey one, but I am really pleased with how cute they look.
