Katrin Tea Cozy

Katrin Tea Cozy (Katrin Tea hood) is a tea hood perfect for keeping the teapot warm. The cap is knitted in a traditional Faroese pattern on the outside and stripes on the inside. The cap can also be knitted with stripes or only in one color if you want a simpler style. If you knit without a pattern, the tea cap does not retain the heat as well as in pattern knitting.
