“Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things.” - Chaim Potok

Tea and knitting are complementary activities, a perfectly suited pairing for chilly days. As I designed and knit this hat--with its teapot motifs--winter’s dreary skies and cold weather were beginning to wear a bit thin, so I chose vibrant colors to remind me that spring would soon be here.

This hat is knit in the round from the bottom up and uses numerous colors of Jamieson’s Shetland Sprindrift. This accessory is a perfect stash buster, as only a small quantity of each color is needed.
