Checkers for Tea
For accessibility this pattern is available in my etsy.com shop and Payhip shop. This tea cozy will keep a teapot warm and dress up a table with its checked design. The slipped stitch checkers are decorative as well as warm, creating a double layer within the cozy. Only one color is used for each row, so the knitting is a pleasure.
A note about your loom:
Any loom with a multiple of 4 pegs may be used. Keep in mind that the yarn weight should be heavier that you would typically use for that loom. The goal is a tightly knit fabric that is nice and warm.
Size: For the sample:
Unblocked – 10 inches tall and 19 inches around
Blocked – 10 inches tall, 24 inches around at base and center, 16 inches around at top
Loom: The photo sample was made on a ½ inch gauge loom with 60 pegs.
Yarn: ½ inch gauge uses bulky #5 wool yarn:
Color 1 - 100 yards
Color 2 - 50 yards
Allow additional yarn for decorations. Sample made with Malbrigo Chunky in Surf Blue and Water Green.
A stitch pattern chart is included for reference but is not needed to make the pattern. All steps are written out.
