The Design
In our opinion, every home needs a teapot—and every teapot needs a tea cozy! We designed this cute little cozy to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our shop. It’s a combination of a few of our favorite things—cables, tweed, and tea! We made sure to sneak in ten (X!) criss-crossing cables, too.
We knit this wee, 2-cup teapot version (a free adaptation to our original X x X Anniversary Tea Cozy) with two, tonal colors of Rowan Felted Felted Tweed marled together. This DK-weight blend of merino wool, alpaca, and viscose is a Churchmouse go-to—and it does a fine job of keeping a teapot warmer, longer!
The Details
FINISHED SIZES
To fit a standard 2-cup teapot, like our Smith Teapot and Brown Betty.

2 skeins Rowan Felted Tweed (191 yds/175m each); yarn held double throughout.
Shown in colors 154 Ginger and 198 Zinnia and colors 192 Amethyst and 208 Iolite.
Or approx 42 yds/38m of an equivalent dk-weight yarn held double.
Or approx 85 yds/78m of a heavy-worsted yarn (16 sts = 4″/10cm) held single.
NEEDLES & NOTIONS
US 7 (4.5mm) needles (any format), or size to obtain a stretchy but lofty ribbing.

Optional: 1⅝”/45mm pom-pom maker; strong yarn or string to attach pom-pom.

The Free Adaptation
Please refer to the original pattern for complete instructions. Only changes are covered in this adaptation.
Bottom Ribbed Rows
Work as directed in original pattern, repeating Rows 1 and 2 five more times. [12 ribbed rows total]
Upper ribbed rows:
Repeat as for bottom Ribbed Rows 1 and 2, five times. [10 ribbed rows total]
Finishing:
For I-cord top: Work I-cord as directed in original pattern, repeating between * * for 3″/7.5cm.
Seam sides and block as directed in original pattern.
For pom-pom top: Follow instructions for button top as directed in original pattern through seaming sides. Instead of sewing a large button on top, make a pom-pom following instructions on pom-pom maker. Note: Use strong yarn or dental floss to secure pom-pom— Felted Tweed can break easily. With darning needle, pass tails a small distance apart to inside of cozy; tie together in a tight bow so you can easily remove pom-pom for washing. Note: We used a single color for our pom-pom, but holding two colors together will create a beautifully marled pom-pom!
Finish and block as directed in original pattern.
