Classic Pleated Tea Cozy by Patons
Modal showing image
Craft: Knitting
This clever tea cozy uses stranded colorwork in an unusual way: by intentionally pulling the alternate shade too tight, you create pleats! Top off any one of the three suggested shade combinations with a fun pom-pom. Make two pieces alike. Sew side and top seams, leaving openings for handle and spout. Sew pom-pom to top of Tea Cozy to finish.
