Vivian says about this pattern, “This striking tea cozy follows the same principle as the three-block cap on page 64 (three blocks consisting of nine squares each), but more squares are worked around the circumference of the initial three-block pouch to add overall length.”

“If a tea cozy isn’t for you, turn the piece upside down, add a handle, replace the top loop with a tassel, and voila-you’ve got a little purse instead!”
