      How beautiful is he and the colours look gorgeous. I love knitting tea copies but never realised they could be adapted for toys.

        Hi Michelle, Thanks and the ones I've used converted very easily. The body is quite large to fit a teapot so it's just a case of sewing up the spout and handle opening which is usually in the side seam then stuffing and sewing up the bottom edge.
