Sun Shower Cozies
These teapot and cup cozies are inspired by that flicker of sunlight when the rain hasn’t quite passed—the moment the day turns, quietly and completely. Puff stitches bring soft texture and just enough rhythm to stitch without overthinking. Whether your yarn is bold, blended, or unexpected, let it shine here. A pattern made for the stash yarn you didn’t know was perfect.
