Sweet as Honey Tea Cozy

Keep your pot of tea warm while you work a few more rows. Designed in celebration of our 120th anniversary, the Sweet as Honey Tea Cozy features a cute picot bind off and an i-cord or ribbon bow. The pattern is worked flat in stretchy 2x2 ribbing and comes in four sizes meaning it’s sure to suit every teapot. Designed by S. Fitzgerald.
