My youngest son Jasper lives on his own since last summer and asked for a teacozy. I made him an Angry Black Bird lookalike one.
Here is how I did it.
I used some bulky black leftovers to knit this hatlike teacosy. The rolling hem allows fitting for different sizes of teapots. Teacosy would fit a childs head as a hat. Can easily be knitted by hand of course.
Knit on my Brother 260, tension 4.
CO 60 st. and knit 50 rows of stocking stitch.
Decreases:
move EOS to the adjacent stitch and knit 1 row.
Knit 2 plain rows. Repeat until a few st. are left. Thread yarn through remaining stitches. Sew back seam.
Decorate using felt, buttonds and fleece fabric for eyes and beak.
