CRAFT | Union Jack Tea Cosy Knit Patterns

As we turn our eyes toward London and the 2012 Olympics, here are some creative ways to keep your party rolling. I love tea cosies and am acquiring a small collection that have either been given to me or that I've knitted myself. Here are some super cute free patterns that could keep your fingers busy during the games.

Union Jack Tea Cosy

This pattern is knit intarsia. It can be more difficult but for those up to the challenge, it's a beautiful piece for your collection. For resources on knitting intarsia, click here.

For an easier British inspired tea cozy, this free pattern would knit quickly and is darling as well. I plan to try my fingers at both. Enjoy.
