I have amended the charts for the 2-3 cup tea cozy, to make it easier to follow. The new pdf has been sent to previous customers. My apologies for any difficulties the original chart has caused.

About The Design:

Knitters familiar with my ‘Springtime Socks’ design will recognize this new tea cozy incarnation!

I look at all types of textiles for design inspiration. This motif was inspired by a lace pattern, called ‘Springtime’, in Marianne Kinzel’s “First Book of Modern Lace Knitting”.

The design is sampled in Lamb’s Pride Worsted, which knits easily and makes such a cozy fabric. Lamb’s Pride is a readily available, US-produced natural fiber yarn, which comes in a wide range of colors, making it easy to personalize to your preferred colors!

The pattern offers 2 colorways and 2 sizes – for 2-3 cup and 3-4 cup teapots.

Sizes: to fit a 2-3 cup / 3-4 cup teapot
