Now, how about a vertically pleated one? What happens to the holes for gathering? Solution many be to put about two inches worth of stitches on hold at one side while doing the 20 rows for the hem, and knit them back with the final joining row. Either rely on the holes formed at beginning of pleats for threading through, although rather far apart,or make a lace hole every 5 rows.

All cosy?
The mountain of left over sock yarn is still growing. Had the idea of a frilled teacosy - each horizontal hem takes 30 rows, but the row counter only progresses 10 rows. Dual purpose of eating up the yarn and triple insulation for the pot. An extra hem at the top is a bit bulky after gathering - perhaps a rib next time.
