For the past six years, the City of Portland has played host to the Rose City Yarn Crawl, inviting local knitters, crocheters, spinners, and felters to explore the many yarn shops in and around Portland. 

During the crawl, each yarn shop offers featured patterns. This year, shops designed patterns highlighting some of the Portland area’s memorable landmarks and destinations.

One of the patterns introduced during the yarn crawl was a crocheted “Benson Bubbler Teapot Cozy” by Tinaka Schwendiman. This imaginative pattern includes a fountain body, bowls, water, and spouts, and is 20” in circumference at its widest point and 5” tall.

All patterns presented at this year’s crawl, including the “Benson Bubbler Teapot Cozy,” are available for download individually or as part of the 2015 eBook, “Postcards from Portland.”
