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! Hm.

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