Adjust for different sizes To increase the size of the base of your pot cosy, add 1 htr st in between each increase on every rnd. Work the first rnd of the side in the BLO and work theg first 2 rnds without increases. After that, increase every 4 rows as set on the base, increasing only 2 sts in the final rnd to ensure it hugs the top of the pot tightly.
