Pay What You Choose: In the interest of making my patterns financially accessible to all knitters while still honouring the time and work that went into creating them, I’m including ‘Pay What You Choose’ tiered pricing for my patterns. You may notice an increase in the baseline price; that is because I believe it represents a fair amount of compensation for my time and craft. If you can afford the full price, I am glad; if you cannot, please choose a price you are willing to pay, no questions asked. Tiered pricing works on the honour system and I will never know your financial ability, but I would very much like designing knitting patterns to be sustainable for me. Here is a list of the coupon codes and the discounts they represent:

No Code: $7.00 CAD
Orchestra: 10% off
BoxSeats: 20% off
Mezzanine: 30% off

Everyone needs a tea cozy! This tea cozy is for adorable, squat teapots which may be found at World Tea House in Halifax, Nova Scotia (though I am sure they exist elsewhere in the world as well). And it’s reversible! One side is a sweet little uneven basketweave, while the other side is tucked and folded and reminds me of the tiles on pagoda roofs. The bottom is secured with a knitted tea leaf and a loop, the middle is held on with a button, and the top is knit in the round.

To knit this tea cozy, you will need:
1 skein Illimani Baby Llama, or any other worsted weight yarn
3 mm dpns (between size 2 and 3 US)
4 mm circular needles with a 40 cm/16 inch cable (size 6 US)
3.5 mm dpns (size 4 US)
crochet hook
2 flat buttons
4 stitch markers
tapestry needle to weave in ends and sew on buttons

Gauge:
27 stitches = 10 cm/4 inches in p3, k7 rib
8 rows = 3.2 cm/1 ⁄4 inches in garter stitch
