“Keeps your hot tea hot!”
This little tea cozy—a free pattern—does the very important job of keeping your tea at the optimum temperature. And looks adorable doing it! Our Seed-Stitch Tea Cozy is definitely doable in an evening or two and is topped with a poofy pompom!

We knit this cute cozy in worsted-weight Rowan Kid Classic, a favorite of ours for nearly ever. Kid Classic’s lambswool offers loft and resilience, while the mohair—not brushed ‘fluffy’ like many mohair yarns—adds luster, depth of color and tonal complexity. It’s an excellent choice to keep your teapot well insulated!
