🧩 Assembly Order
1️⃣ Sew spout to front curve of teapot — about halfway up the body height.
2️⃣ Attach handle opposite the spout, ensuring both align symmetrically.
3️⃣ Center lid on top opening; either leave removable or stitch in place.
4️⃣ Shape the handle and spout — curve naturally outward, not vertically.
5️⃣ Adjust stuffing to maintain teapot silhouette (slightly bulbous middle, narrowing top and bottom).
💡 Colorwork Notes (for Marbled Look)
-
Alternate Color A & B every 2–6 stitches irregularly to mimic glaze patterns.
-
Do not cut yarn at each change; instead, carry unused color inside the stitch.
-
To form organic patches, occasionally use Color B for 2 consecutive rounds.
-
Keep tension consistent to avoid bumps where colors overlap.
This delightful teapot will add a touch of warmth and whimsy to your handmade collection—no hot water required! 🧵🍂
