Another tea cosy to fit a one cup pot. This is in an easy 1 row rib pattern using two strands of dk yarn, which makes the cosy nice and thick. I used two shades of yellow.
I've added knitted flowers and leaves but it would also look great with a pompom
I love my hobby of designing patterns and posting them
online. But I often can’t find anyone
who has the time to test my patterns, although I do knit them up a few times
myself. So mistakes can slip by,
especially typos when transferring the pattern to my blog. So, please, please, if you find and errors or
have any queries, let me know either by commenting below or contacting me via
the contact form. Thanks

I found your site while I was looking for Barbie knitting patterns. Thank you so much for sharing these patterns. My mum was an English war bride and was an amazing knitter. Sadly she died six years ago. I have a grandchild coming in five weeks so I started knitting and one thing led to another and know I'm making Barbie clothes for the daughter of my girlfriend. Mum would be proud of me. She would have loved your tea cozy too.
ReplyDeleteHi Lily.
DeleteFor new knitters my patterns are great because they knit up quickly and have many of the aspects of larger garments such as shaping etc. Knitting is great fun and gives a wonderful sense of achievement that you've made something.
If you have any problems with my patterns please let me know.

What is ssk mean? So cute. I have been looking for a small tea cozy. Thanks
ReplyDeleteSSK means you slip one stitch, you slip the next stitch, and you knit the 3rd stitch. So SSK is Slip 1, Slip 1, Knit 1.

ReplyDeleteCorrection: You slip the next stitch onto right needle as if to knit, then slip the NEXT stitch onto the right needle as if to knit. With the left needle you put into both stitches IN FRONT OF THE RIGHT NEEDLE, then knit both stitches together. SSK:, SLIP, SLIP, KNIT
