Pair of handmade Father Christmas hat egg cosies

To go with my Father Christmas tea cosy, I've been wanting to make some little egg cosies in the festive theme... and here they are!
It took quite a bit of trial and error (and not to say patience!) to get the conical shape of the hat, but I got there in the end.
The red part of the hats are made from red acrylic yarn in a double crochet stitch. The 'fur' effect is courtesy of fluffy white yarn.
Of course, these need not be in red and white. I enjoy making these so will be making more in different colour combinations. All are available in my Etsy shop now!

Handmade black and white fluffy owl

Another owl tea cosy! This one is made with a hairy / fluffy black and white mix yarn. The long 'hairs' make the owl lovely and soft to the touch. I'm making one more owl (a brown feathery one) before I switch to something new... Once I'm in the swing with one pattern, I find it easier to make a couple - one after the other. It doesn't get boring because the different yarns make each owl different. All tea cosies are available in my Etsy shop!

Handmade feathery owl tea cosy

Another new owl tea cosy! I made this one using a feathery yarn in a mix of green / brown and gold - it looks very much like feathers and is beautifully soft to the touch. The pattern is the same as the brown fluffy owl. Available in my Etsy shop now!

Handmade fluffy brown owl tea cosy

A new owl tea cosy! I came across a lovely new fluffy yarn in various shades of brown and thought it would be perfect for an owl... Like the other owl tea cosies I have made, I used a strand of DK yarn together with a strand of fluffy to ensure that the tea cosy is nice and thick. Using a bobble stitch adds texture to the body of the cosy. Available in my Etsy shop now!
