Free Knitting Patterns - Knit Tea Cozy
Materials: A felt tea blossom and leaves decorate this
easy-knit cozy. Put one on your tea pot to keep the last cup of tea as piping
hot as the first. We suggest using Coats & Clarks’ Red Heart Knitting
Worsted, 4 ply. One 2-ounce skein in any desired color is sufficient to make a
cozy. Use plastic knitting needles number 6. A small piece each of white and dark green
felt will be needed for trim.
Abbreviations: sts (stitches) k (knit) dec (decrease)
Gauge: 9 sts
make 2 inches; 8 rows make 1 inch
Pattern:
Side Piece (Make 2)—Starting
at edge, cast on 34 sts. Work in garter st (k each row) until piece
measures 4˝ inches. Dec 1 st at the beginning of next 10 rows. Dec 1 st at both
ends of every row until 16 sts remain. Bind off 3 sts at beginning of next 2
rows. Bind off.
Press pieces through a damp cloth. Sew top
edges neatly together to the first decreased row. Leaving a 3-inch opening at
both sides, sew lower edge of side seams together.
Tea Flower and Leaves—Following
patterns below, cut
5 white felt petals, 1 white calyx and 6 green leaves. Gather lower edge of
each petal, having the side edge of one petal slightly overlap the adjacent side
edge of next petal and the 5th petal joined to the first petal. Sew gathered
edges of petals on top of the calyx.
Stamens: Make several 1" loops of yarn and sew to center of
calyx. Sew flower at top of tea cozy as shown in photo. Sew tip of each leaf
around the flower under the petals.
