Pattern is a combination of charted and written instructions.

This is a new pattern in my Salish Sea Collection. Patterns inspired by the West Coast and usually knit in the Cowichan style with yarns created for this style of knitting.

Perhaps the heaviest cozy I have ever designed. Working with the Prairie Sea Fusion was a breeze and the sheer weight of the yarn has created the coziest warmer ever!

Dancer Cozy is a Gentleman’s Style Cozy. This means that the spout and the handle are not covered by the cozy and the pot is simply lifted and the tea poured without removing the cozy.

It is my favourite style of cozy as I find the handle gets too hot with most pots if it covered by the Cozy.

What this means for the knitter. It means that you will start the cozy in the round, then split the cozy in two and will knit both sides separately and then the cozy will get reattached into a round, continue working, and finishing, in the round.

The Dancer Cozy is shaped and finished with a grafting line just like a sock toe.

A photo tutorial on making and attaching the fringe is included in the pattern.
