10 Knitted Tea Pot Cozy Patterns For Spring

As the weather starts to get warmer, it can be easy to put away our tea pots and focus on other things. But even on the sunniest of days, a hot cup of tea can still be a comforting and enjoyable experience. And what better way to make your tea time even more special than by adding a beautiful and cozy knitted cover for your teapot.

We’ve rounded up ten of the best and most unique knitted teapot cozy patterns for you to choose from. These patterns range from simple and beginner-friendly, to more advanced projects with intricate designs. Some patterns feature classic spring colors and motifs like flowers, while others are more modern and abstract.

Not only are these cozies a practical way to keep your tea hot for longer, but they also add a touch of personality and style to your tabletop. They also make great gifts for the tea lover in your life. So, grab your needles and get ready to knit up a cozy that will bring a touch of warmth and beauty to your next tea time.

Craftown and Yarnspirations both have really easy garter stitch patterns that will get your pot covered in a hurry. Knit them in a solid color as shown or try stripes, whether consistent or random stash busting color changes. For a different take on the garter stitch cozy, check out the sideways knit Wake Me Up Tea Cozy from Close Knit, which is great worked in self-striping yarn or stashy stripes of any sort.

The Traditional Tea Cozy from Rosa Hoban has those vertical stripes you so commonly see on tea cozies, and could be made in pretty bright colors for spring.

It may not be Easter any more, but chicks are still cute when they’re on a tea cozy like the Little Chicks Tea Cozy from Yarnspirations. And if you’d rather have fruit than fowl on your table, try an apple or strawberry design.

If flowers are more your style, there’s the Flower Garden Tea Cozy from JustJen Knits (love the details on this one!) and the less literal Daffodil Stitch cozy from a 1937 pattern found on knitting-and.

And if your tastes run to the more whimsical, check out the Hobbit Cottage Tea Cozy from Have a Yarn or the Nemo pattern from Stratgem Addict. That might just be the thing to get my daughter to want to have a real tea party!

This one is not really spring but it is cute and it is an Elephant.

Linen stitch is one of my favorite knitting stitch patterns that, every time I use it in a project, I think about how I don’t use it often enough.

It’s an easy stitch to make, with slip stitches done with the yarn held to the front of the work on the right/front side and to the back on the wrong/back side, which makes the strand of yarn a visible part of the pattern.

It also makes a fabric that is thick and looks kind of like a woven fabric.

I recently used linen stitch to make a double-thick pot holder, which I worked in a kind of interesting way. I didn’t want to have to do any sewing on the project, so I started it from a crochet cast on and picked up stitches from the side of the cast on to make the hot pad all in one piece in the round with the edge sealed.

This requires working on two circular needles, which is another technique I don’t use that often and am always reminded how much I like it when I do.

The combination of double thickness and the stitch pattern makes for a hot pad that’s already pretty thick, but I also added a bit of old towel to the inside before I closed up the end to make it super thick and extra protective for your surfaces.

I found the engineering challenge of this construction method to be a lot of fun, but you could also just knit it as a tube (casting on twice as many stitches as I did) and sew up the ends by hand when the knitting is done. Either way you’ve got a useful and pretty addition to your kitchen, whether you work it in a solid color, stripes or as a stash busting project will all your cotton odd balls.

You can grab the pattern over at Our Daily Craft, or check it out on Ravelry.
