Kirstina Tea Cozy is a tea cozy perfect for keeping your tea warm. The cozy is double layered with a Nordic inspired pattern on the outside and stripes on the inside. The outside of the tea cozy can also be knitted with stripes instead of the star pattern. If you knit without the pattern, the cozy will not keep as warm as when worked in colorwork. The tea cozy shown in the photo is size 1, knitted in Heavy Merino from Knitting for Olive in the colors Ballerina (main color) and Pea Shoot (contrast color).
