Emily’s Garden Tea Cozy

To celebrate my friend Emily’s big yarn sale last month, I designed a special tea cozy with her beautiful worsted-weight yarn. The Emily’s Garden Tea Cozy, named for the garden where she grows her natural dye materials, is now available to everybody. In this post you’ll find links to the pattern, an easy shopping list, pattern specs, and lots of photos.
