Fairytale house tea cosy, part 3


Flowers and leaves
You can decorate the house to your liking, in the Internet there are many schemes for flowers
and leaves.
I will show you how I decorate my houses.
You can use some tone colored yarn, the leaves will look very realistic. Or you can tint them
  with acrylic paints yourself.

 Windows

1) Make the windows as a perfect circle. The size of your windows have to match your house size.


2) Make 2 chains with color yarn. Join the chains in the middle loops (photo A below).

Fairytale house tea cosy, part 1



Remarks from the translator:
Dear ladies! This pattern will be a little unusual.
Firstly, this is a blog entry by Russian amigurumi designer  Anya Kirdyasheva
Out of respect for the author, I translate not only the pattern, but everything written by the author.
Secondly, you have to be creative in the process. Your teapot, of course, does not
coincide in size and shape with the author's teapot, so you will need to independently
refine the pattern of the house basic part.
