This was quite a project, and I love how it turned out! The main body is the Chamomile Lawn Tea Cosy by Jennifer Adams. The head is from the Crochet Entrelac Turkey Tea cozy by Sara Duggan. The tail feathers are my own design. Scroll down for the tail feathers pattern.

Final November Thoughts

Check out my week 3 post for the modification I made to the head.

I originally made different, larger tail feathers, but they were too heavy. The whole cozy twisted and fell backwards! So I started over and came up with this smaller tail feather design.

To add a little weight to the front, I made a tiny pillow stuffed firmly with yarn ends. Sewing this inside the front of the cozy helped to balance out the weight.

Tail Feathers Pattern:

Center

Row 1: With orange, make a magic ricle, ch 2, 6 hdc in magic circle, close circle, turn.

Row 2 (RS): Ch 2, fpdc around 1st st, (hdc in same st, fpdc around next st) 4 times, turn. (9 sts)

Row 3: With red, ch2, (bpdc around next post st, hdc in same st and in next st) 4 times, bpdc around last post st, turn. (13 sts)

Row 4: With orange, Ch2, (fpdc around next post st, hdc in same st and in next 2 sts) 4 times, fpdc around last post st, turn. (17 sts)

Row 5: With red, Ch2, (bpdc around next post st, hdc in same st and in next 3 sts) 4 times, bpdc around last post st, turn. (21 sts)

Row 6: With orange, (2 hdc in post st, hdc in next 4 sts) 4 times, 2 hdc in last post st, turn. (25 sts)

First Feather

Row 7: Ch 2, hdc in first 5 sts, place a marker in the next st, hdc in marked st, leave remaining sts unworked, turn. (6 sts)

Row 8: Ch 2, hdc2tog in first 2 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, hdc2tog in last 2 sts, turn. (4 sts)

Row 9: Ch 2, hdc2tog in first 2 sts, hdc2tog in last 2 sts, fasten off. (2 sts)

Next Feather

With WS facing, join orange with sl st in marked st on row 6. Remove marker.

Row 7: Ch 2, hdc in same st and in next 4 sts, place a marker in the next st, hdc in marked st, leaving remaining sts unworked, turn. (6 sts)

Repeat rows 8-9 of First Feather.

Repeat Next Feather three times more for a total of 5 feathers. At the end of the last feather, change to red.

Edging

Ch 2, 3 sc in sides of rows along the edge of the last feather to the bottom of the tail, 30 sc evenly spaced along bottom, 3 sc in sides of rows to top of next feather, ch 2, sc2tog at top of feather, [ch 2, 3 sc in sides of rows to center, 3 sc in sides of rows to top of next feather, ch 2, sc2tog at top of feather] 4 times, join with sl st to first st, fasten off.

Get Ready for December

The next cozy will officially kick off on December 2nd. If you can’t wait, check the Tea Cozy Tuesday Ravelry group on December 1st for a sneak preview!

We will finish the December cozy in 3 weeks instead of 4, so that everyone can have a finished project in time for the holiday.
