coffee pot cozy... tulips.

heaven forbid you have a naked coffee pot!!

I made this to fit the pot I have...if you have a bigger one, just add more stitches!!

this is a stitch count of 3...

stitches used (US terms)

chain, single crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, 3 stitch treble cluster 

 and V-stitch (dc-ch 1-dc in same space)

find you favourite yarns and hook and let's get started...

I used Lily cotton and a G hook

I chained until it fit around the pot

in this case

39 ch

lucky me!!

join new colour

turn and work v-stitches into the starting chain

ch 4 (first dc, plus ch one space) and make a second dc in same place

V-stitch made

miss two ch and make another V-stitch in next ch

continue this across 

when you get to the end of the ch  bind off and cut the yarn

you will not turn the work

start the next row at the beginning V-stitch 

either join with a ch 4 or make a standing treble stitch

work a 3 stitch cluster into the first V-stitch

this shows the standing stitch...no chain!

and this is the 3 stitch treble cluster 

chain 1 in between tulips

repeat the cluster-ch 1 across the row

 make one treble crochet in the last stitch

bind off and cut yarn

a full row of planted tulips!

do not turn   

 start at the beginning in the top of the first tulip

 change colour and dc across the top of the tulips

 by dc-ing into the top of each tulip and the ch 1 spaces

I finished it with a row of white stitches

sc, hdc, dc, tbc, dc, hdc, sc

1

and there you are

I used four different buttons and matching (?) thread

sewed them on

 making sure they were on the right side not the back side!!!

using the gaps in the ends of the rows 

I wrapped the cozy around the pot and fasten the buttons

and there you have it

a sweater for you coffee pot

if there is a mistake please let me know

if you make one let us know and we'll all come and admire it

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have fun
