From Pattern Booklet:
“These cosies will fit standard-shaped teapots in three sizes: two cup, four cup or six cup. There are three desgins to choose from, a Christmas pudding, robin in the snow, and on decorated with holly and pine-cones. All the decorative ideas are interchangeable so that each cosy can be made up in any of the three different sizes. A tea-pot, complete with knited cosy, would make a delightful and useful Christmas Gift.”

Materials for the decoration:
Refer to page 23 (Little Robin Redbreast) for the robin and page 20 (Garland Ring) for the holly leaves, berries and pine-cones. Note that they are all worked on 3mm (No 11, USA 2) knitting needles.
