Margrethe Tea Cozy
Margrethe Tea Cozy
Margrethe Tea Cozy (Margrethe Tea Hood) is a tea hood perfect for keeping the teapot warm. The cap is knitted in a daisy pattern in honor of Queen Margrethe II on the outside and stripes on the inside. The outside of the cap can also be knitted with stripes instead of the daisy pattern 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.
