Crochet for Every Day

If you had asked me a year ago, I never would have guessed that my most-used handmade item would be my tea cozy, but it is! I make a big pot of tea each morning and my cozy keeps it warm for a long time. I’ve finally uploaded the pattern, so you can make one too.

Here’s a version my friend Deneen crocheted for her tiny 1-cup tea pot (just a coincidence we used the same colorway?)

A student from my beginning crochet course made the sides longer and uses it for her coffee press. What handmade items do you use every day?

    When my grandma taught me to crochet 31 years ago, she taught me to make “granny square dishclothes”. They are super simple and quick and I ALWAYS make some at Christmas for my mom, best friend and even my grandma, as her arthritis doesn’t allow her to crochet or knit anymore, every year.

    I am anxious to download and start the cozy!
    Thanks for sharing!
