This cozy has a bit of whimsy and a bit of seriousness – just right for keeping your tea warm over a cozy afternoon. The cables are inspired by steam wafting up from a teacup, sometimes overlapping in a bit of a breeze.

The cozy is knit flat from the bottom up with a gap for the spout. Buttons close the cozy at the handle, and a thin I-cord cinches it closed at the top. It is designed to fit your pot snugly.

The version available as a direct download fixes several problems with the original, particularly with the ribbing at the top. It is also in a slightly different gauge and a superior yarn. Pom poms are not specified in this version - but are always appropriate!
