green tea from Japan
must always be served quite hot:
we must insulate.
Cat Bordhi call this a Moebius Swan Tea Cozy. It seems to fit over a tea pot, and I guess it’s nifty that it’s all moebiusy. But aren’t tea cozies supposed to have gaps to so you can grasp the handle and actually pour the tea?

No, most tea cozies do NOT have openings to pour the tea. They go over the tea pot while steeping and then are removed to serve.

Weird. Every other hand knit tea cosy pattern I found had an opening for the handle and for the spout!

Hm. Every tea cosy I’ve ever knit myself, or had knit for me, or found a pattern for has had openings for spouts and handles. But most of those have been Canadian or British.
In contrast, almost all of the American cosies I’ve seen have generally been quilted fabric, and completely cover the teapot so you can’t even tell what it is. I like my Canadian/Brit patterns better, I think they’re way more functional. I’d rather see the teapot than hide it!
