Teacup and Saucer Pattern
This free pattern includes directions for knitting and felting both a large and a small teacup and saucer. Knit an extra saucer to hold your tea-time treats! You'll need either size US 10 1/2 double-pointed needles for the larger teacup and saucer or size US 8 double-pointed needles for the smaller size. Each pattern uses less than one skein of yarn! Use chunky for the large. I used Reynolds Lopi. Use worsted for the small. I used Debbie Bliss Aran Tweed (because it was on sale)!
