(Spouted) Strawberry Tea Cozy
About the Design:
This adorable tea cozy has spout and handle openings, so the cozy can remain on the teapot, whilst pouring, and comes in 2-3 and 3-4 cup sizes.
This is an advanced beginner project – the stitch pattern is mostly Stockinette with a pattern round of dropped sts – quickly learned. I used this stitch pattern to design the Strawberry Baby Blanket, so it may be familiar to some knitters already.
The openings have a single crochet edging. Four leaves, an I-Cord stem and I-Cord vines with newly forming white berries embellish the top. White seeds are stitched on after the knitting is complete.
Sizes
2-3 cup / 3-4 cup
Tea pots vary is size. The 3-4 cup cozy fits my 5-cup
broad Staffordshire pot, as well as a 4-cup rounder
Brown Betty.
