Ok, You Wanted Tea Cosies, You Got Em!

I looked around and found a few pages that feature Tea Cosy Patterns.

This one has every kind of cozy you can imagine.  http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/cozies.php

Look for a cute seasonal pumpkin tea cosy (pictured) in the Fall 08 issue of Knit Simple Magazine.

Happy Knitting!

  5. I love this tea cosy but unfortunately knitting isn’t one of my hobbies.Can I have one made?and how much will it cost me?thanks

  6. I love the pumpkin tea cozy featured on your Every Little Bit of Craft Gossip tea cozy page. Is that pattern available? I simply love it and would love to make it. Where can I find that pattern please?

  8. Hi, maybe someone can help me. I am wanting to knit a couple of animal tea cosies – not for animals but modelled on animals for tea pots! was hoping for patterns but can’t really see what I am loojking for. The few I have seen are three D of cats, dogs farm animals with the head, tail and various other ‘parts’. It is for a special friend who is leaving work and who every day makes us a pot of tea at about 3.00pm. It is a lovely tradition which will go with her I am sure, and I think a hand knitted tea cosy with a special touch to it would be the ideal gift.

Bookmark Knitting Patterns

It’s always a good time for a bookmark, and even more so as we start thinking about back to school time. Reading is more fun when you have a pretty bookmark. That’s just science. 

Plus bookmarks are fast, portable, and a fun way to try out different skills. So let’s get busy with some bookmark knitting patterns!

This set of three bookmark knitting patterns from Lucky Fox Knits includes one worked in garter stitch, an easy eyelet lace and one with eyelets running down the center. I love the little I-cord for the tassel!

Add a simple textured stitch to a bookmark to make it a little more fun. This one from Franciscan Gypsy is called the paper towel bookmark, and I’ll bet you can pick it out above just from that description. This one calls for fingering weight yarn. 

Another pretty allover pattern is this slip-stitch lace design from Handy Little Me. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, it’s a sweet little design worked in fingering weight yarn. This one is a little extra fun because it has two tassels. 

I love this undulating wheat ear bookmark pattern from KMKnits Shop. It’s an interesting stitch pattern perfect for advanced beginner knitters, and it uses sport weight yarn. 

A lot of knit bookmarks have a bit of lace, and they’re actually a great way to pick up some lace knitting skills on a tiny project that doesn’t have to be perfect. I like this lacy one from Val Knitting Shop, which is inspired by daisy petals. It calls for fingering weight yarn. 

The Jasmine Bookmark from Valentina Fezova-Georgieva is another pretty lace pattern that’s a little more complex but still totally doable. It calls for fingering weight yarn and is available on Ravelry.

If you want a more literal inspiration of flowers in your bookmark pattern, try the pair of floral bookmarks form Warm and KnittedS. One has a little rosette and the other just has leaves. They look like I-cord but they’re actually worked flat on two needles and will stitch up in no time for a last minute gift or to tuck into your latest read.
