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.

When I first started knitting again after a long absence from the craft (which has now been almost 25 years ago!) I really didn’t like garter stitch that much. I found it super boring, somehow even more boring than knitting stockinette stitch in the round, even though it’s exactly the same thing.

Over the years I’ve softened my opinion, and even grown to like garter stitch. There’s nothing wrong with being plain, and actually the texture of garter stitch is more interesting than stockinette.

Also there are fun things you can do with garter stitch to make it more interesting if you want to, such as adding stripes, working on the bias, or doing fun effects to change the look.

That’s the way with the Bernat Twist My Way Garter Knit Blanket. Using combinations of casting on and binding off creates what they call a Swiss cheese effect along two sides of the blanket. This is a lot of fun in the self-striping ombre yarn they chose for the pattern, but it would also be fun in a solid color or making your own stripes.

Despite the dramatic effect, this pattern is rated easy. It’s worked from side to side (if you consider the “cheesy” edges the top and bottom) and has an eight-row repeat that involves binding off and then casting on again to make the holes. They’re kind of like giant buttonholes.

Once you get the hang of it it’s a pretty easy repeat to remember, and it will be smooth knitting as big as you want to make it.

You can download this pattern from the Yarnspirations website for free, or you can buy a kit direct from them that includes the yarn you need (and knitting needles if you need those, too). Bernat Sport Ombre Twist, which is what is used in the pattern, comes in 12 self patterning colors and is a DK weight acrylic yarn.
