Let this cheerful fellow keep your tea warm and your heart happy as spooky season approaches. He starts with the front and back pieces worked flat to allow openings for the handle and spout which maybe sewn to fit your specific teapot or left more open to fit a variety of pots. The pieces are then joined in the round and the top is worked up to the stem and finished off. The facial features are crocheted separately and sewn into place.

You will need a full (200 yd) skein of the main color, 20 yards of green for the stem and 35 yds of black for the facial features.

I chose Encore worsted as the yarn for easy care, but any worsted weight which has 200 yds per 100 gram (3.5 oz) skein will do nicely.
