Peek-a-Boo Hearts Tea Cozy Pattern

As a disclaimer, this is my first pattern that I've written. I tried to be very methodical and keep track of the number of stitches I had in each row, but I'm a bit of a sloppy crocheter and tend to play things by ear. So if you have trouble with this pattern tell me and I'll rework those areas.

Row 1: ch 2, 10 sc in second st from hook, Sl st in first st (10 st)

Row 2: ch 1, 1 sc in ea st around, Sl st in first st (10 st)

Row 3: ch 1, (1 sc in next 2 st, 2 sc in next st) 5x, Sl st in first st (15 st)

Row 4: ch 1, 1 sc in ea st around, Sl st in first st (15 st)

Row 5: ch 1, (1 sc in next 2 st, 2 sc in next st) 5x, Sl st in first st (20 st)

Row 6: ch 1, (1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) 10x, Sl st in first st ( 30 st)

Row 7: ch 1, 1 sc in ea st around, Sl st in first st (30 st)

Row 8: ch 1, (1 sc in next 2 st, 2 sc in next st) 10x, Sl st in first st (40 st)

Row 9: ch 1, 1 sc in ea st around, Sl st in first st (40 st)

Row 10: ch 1, (1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in next st) 10x, Sl st in first st (50 st)

Row 11: ch 1, 1 sc in ea st around, Sl st in first st (50 st)

Row 12: ch 1, 1 sc in next 22 st, ch 43, remove hook from last ch and reinsert it on the other side of the ch, Sl st in first st (65 st)

Row 13: ch 1, 1 sc in ea st around, Sl st in first st (65 st)

Row 14: this row only works on half of the circle, ch 1, (1 sc in next 4 st, 2 sc in next st) 4x, 1 sc in next 3 st, Sl st in next 1 st, ch 1 turn (28? st)

Row 15: 1 sc in ea of next 27 st, (1 sc in next 4 st, 2 sc in next st) 8x, Sl st in next st, ch 1, turn (75 st)

Row 16: 1 sc in ea of next 74, Sl st in next st, ch 1, turn (74 st)

Row 17: 1 sc in ea of next 73 st, Sl st in next st, ch1, turn (73 st)

Row 18: establishing the top of four hearts (1 sc in next 8, Sl st in next 2 st, 1 sc in next 4 st, Sl st in next 2 st) 4x, 1 sc in next 8 st, ch 1, turn, don’t tie off

We will now begin the sections between the hearts (spacers), starting with the section between the first heart and the spout hole

First spacer:

Row 1: 1 st in next 7 st, ch 1, turn (7 st, finish on heart side)

Row 2: sl st in next st, 1 st in next 6 st, ch 1, turn (6 st, finish on spout hole side)

Row 3: 1 st in next 6 st, ch 1, turn (6 st, heart)

Row 4: 1 st in next 6 st, ch 2, turn (6 st, spout)

Row 5: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next 6 st, ch 3, turn (7 st, heart)

Row 6: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next ch, 1 st in next 7 st, ch 2, turn (9 st, spout)

Row 7: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next 9 st, ch 3 turn (10 st, heart)

Row 8: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next ch, 1 st in next 10 st, ch 1, turn (12 st, spout)

Row 9: 1 st in next 12 st, ch 3, turn (12 st, heart)

Row 10: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next ch, 1 st in next 12 st, ch 1, tie off (14 st)

Next three spacers (each of these spacers are between two hearts):

Row 1: sl st in into 1^st st of 8 st space, 1 st in next 6 st, sl st in next st, ch 1, turn (6 st)

Row 2: sl st in next st, 1 st in next 4 st, sl st in next st, ch 1 turn (4 st)

Row 3: 1 st in next 4 st, ch 2, turn (4 st)

Row 4: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next 4 st, ch 3, turn (5 st)

Row 5: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next ch, 1 st in next 5 st, ch 3, turn (7 st)

Row 6: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next ch, 1 st in next 7 st, ch 3, turn (9 st)

Row 7: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next ch, 1 st in next 9 st, ch 3, turn (11 st)

Row 8: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next ch, 1 st in next 11 st, ch 1, tie off (13 st)

Points (one for the middle of each heart):

Row 1: sl st in first st of 4 st space (in middle of ea heart), 1 st in next 2 st, sl st in next st, ch 1 turn (2 st)

Row 2: st together next 2 st, ch 1, turn (1 st)

Row 3: 1 st in st, ch 1, tie off

Last spacer:

Row 1: sl st into 1^st st in of last 8 st space on spout side, 1 st in next 7 st, ch 1, turn (7 st, heart)

Row 2: sl st in next st, 1 st in next 6 st, ch 1, turn (6 st, spout)

Row 3: 1 st in next 6 st, ch 1, turn (6 st, heart)

Row 4: 1 st in next 6 st, ch 2, turn (6 st, spout)

Row 5: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next 6 st, ch 3, turn (7 st, heart)

Row 6: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next ch, 1 st in next 7 st, ch 2, turn (9 st, spout)

Row 7: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next 9 st, ch 3 turn (10 st, heart)

Row 8: 1 st in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 st in next ch, 1 st in next 10 st, ch 1, turn (12 st, spout)

Finishing the body:

Row 1: 1 st in ea st around connecting all spacer pieces (65 st)

Row 2-4: I st in ea st around (65 st)

Row 5: ch 1, st in same st, (skip next 2 st, 7 double st in next st, skip next 2 st, 1 st in next st) around, ch 1, tie off

Finishing the lid (this part I’m a little sketchy on and will have to rewrite):

Row 1: sl st into 2^nd st from either edge on lid, (1 st in next 5 st, 2 st in next st) around, sl st in last st, ch 1, turn

Row 2: sl st in next 2 st, (1 st in next 6 st, 2 st in next st) around, sl st in next st, ch 1, turn

Row 3: (1 st in next st, skip next 2 st, 5 double st in next st, skip next 2 st) around, tie off

As a final touch, line each hole with a row of single st (work clockwise, it looks better). I chose to sew some pretty cloth to back my hearts.
