Peg, if you have not been welcomed to the forum, I welcome you now. If you have not found what you are looking for, try the wonderhowto site: http://www.wonderhowto.com/topic/knit-popcorn-stitch/
Menbers here are always so very loving, friendly, and helpful. I have never made the knitted 'bobbles' but this site should help. ~ Grace

Elaine, what a cute tea cozy. Thanks so much for sharing the picture. I hope knitted popcorn is as easy as crochet, but I bet it is. ~ Grace

I didn't realize you had actually made the tea cozy. What lovely work and a bit time consuming, I'm thinking.

Thank you, Grace. It was time-consuming but I'd wanted a tea cosy 'forever' and finally got around to making it. Actually, it's the first thing I ever did for me, except for bookmarks and potholders, so I decided time wasn't the issue - just wanted a cute tea cosy - and I'm thoroughly enjoying it...having a cuppa right now. Take care. hugs/e :wink:

Knit into the front, then the back, then into the front again of the same stitch. This is usually followed by at least one plain knit stitch to leave room between the popcorns.

Good for you! It isn't selfish to do something 'just for me' occasionally. You did a great job. You must now make yourself a mug cozy and a mug mat! My mom was fond of the popcorn stitch. I like iced tea and hot coffee, but I also love hot tea and iced coffee. I have never had a large tea pot like yours but I love them. ~ Grace

Thanks for the encouragement - but what's a mug mat? Like you, I like tea/coffee both hot/cold - depending upon the weather and my mood...

Thank you Grace10 . I need the knitting instructions on how to do the popcorn stitch.

Peg, look a couple of posts down from the picture of the tea cozy and see if that is a helpful site. ~ Grace

Thanks Virginia. :thumbup: I had forgotten how to do it.

Elaine, a mug mat is just a coaster. You may not want to use the popcorn st for it though. I really was just being facetious - maybe I should cut the corn - LOL. But lots of us actually do love to use cozies and coasters which are really easy and cute as well as useful. ~ Grace

you can go ask.com/knitting and type in popcorn stitch and it will tell you how to knit the stitch. hope this helps
