10 Knitted Tea Pot Cozy Patterns For Spring

by

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.

Add a Little Lace to Your Knitting Patterns

If you’re new to lace knitting or just aren’t sure how to incorporate the technique into garments, check out these tops and sweaters that use lace as a decorative element.

The easiest lace out there is eyelets, and you can practice them plenty with this eyelet covered sweater from Knitcro Addict. It uses light/DK weight yarn and is worked in four pieces knit flat. It’s intended to be a little cropped and a little oversized, and includes sizes XS to XXL in the pattern.

If you’re in parts of the world where it’s getting colder as you read this, the Nora sweater from Bummbul might be a good choice. This is actually a great one for learning lace because it’s worked in super bulky yarn, which makes it easier to see what you’re doing and makes the lace super graphic. This one just comes in one size, with a 42 inch (106) cm bust, but that could fit a variety of people depending on how much ease you like.

Minimi Knit Design has a cute allover lace cardigan worked in one piece from the bottom up. It’s worked in lace weight mohair held double, which maybe isn’t the best for those new to lace (because it can be hard to rip out) but it sure is pretty. Sizes range to fit from 30 to 66 inches/76 to 168 cm bust measurements.

If you’d rather not have lace all over your sweater, you can knit the Lumi sweater from Originally Lovely, which has a chevron lace pattern on the yoke and is otherwise worked in reverse stockinette stitch. (It’s worked inside out so you don’t have to purl every stitch.) The pattern has 9 sizes from XS to 5XL and uses worsted weight yarn.

Or try the super romantic sookie blouse from Trust the mojo (available on Ravelry). This sweet top is started working flat from the bottom up and has a V-neck and I-cord edgings. The sleeves are worked separately in the round, and the pieces are all joined together to work in one piece to finish off the top. It comes in eight sizes and is available in English and French.

You can also pair lacy sleeves with an otherwise plain top, like on the Starflower Wrap from Annelise Driscoll Gingrow. This intermediate pattern makes a wrap sweater with generous lacy sleeves and a double wrap belt. The pattern has nine sizes, from XS to 5XL, and is available for free from Hobbi.
