Our pattern this month is the Broken Rib Tea Cozy by Pamela Hendersen. I turned mine into an apple by adding a stem and a pair of leaves.

Final September Tea Cozy Thoughts

I’m glad to have had a bonus week this month, as it gave me time to frog this cozy and try again. My 2nd try turned out much better than my first try!

For the stem, I picked up 8 stitches around the top. Then I decreased down to 4 stitches over a couple of rows, continued straight for 2 rows, then increased up to 8 stitches over a couple rows.

In those last 2 rows, I put more increases on one side than on the other. That created a more natural, asymmetrical top. Finally, I grafted the stitches together at the top to finish off.

I used the leaf pattern from the “Apple of my Eye” newborn hat on Cre8tion Crochet. They came out too small, so I added one more row around each leaf, following the general pattern from the previous row.

Get Ready for October!

The next cozy will officially kick off on October 7th. If you can’t wait, check the Tea Cozy Tuesday Ravelry group on October 1st for a sneak preview!
