For November we’re using the Chamomile Lawn Tea Cosy by Jennifer Adams as our base pattern. With a little creativity and borrowing from other patterns, we can turn it into a turkey!

Materials

I’ve managed to find all the yarns I’ll need in my stash again. I’m going to use a greyish brown for the body, and incorporate the rest of the colors into the feathers and head. I have n decided what to use for eyes yet but will probably pick up some buttons.

November Pattern Tips

This pattern offers suggestions for 2 different sizes, one to fit a 6-8 cup teapot, and one to fit a 4-6 cup teapot. Instead of changing the pattern instructions, it suggests using a smaller hook and tighter gauge for the smaller teapot.

The suggested yarn is DK weight, but I have chosen to use worsted weight yarns for mine, and just work to the same gauge. This will make a slightly stiffer and firmer cozy, which should help to hold up the big turkey head.

I plan to borrow the head from this Crochet Entrelac Turkey Tea Cozy pattern and will be designing my own wings and feathers. I will share the pattern for those next week.
