Bring a touch of alpine charm to your table with the Edelweiss Cosy Set. This pattern includes both a teapot cosy and a matching mug cosy, worked in stranded colourwork with lilac and grey blossoms inspired by the delicate star-shaped edelweiss flower.

The tea cosy begins with a snug k1, p1 rib before moving into a stranded floral motif, and is finished with a shaped crown that echoes a bloom. The mug cosy mirrors the same starry pattern, making a perfect companion piece.

This is a satisfying knit for anyone who enjoys colourwork on a smaller scale, and it makes a thoughtful handmade gift.

Skills needed: Knitting in the round, stranded colourwork, basic shaping
Techniques included: Ribbing, stranded knitting, simple decreases for crown shaping

Whether for yourself or as a gift, the Edelweiss Cosy Set adds beauty and warmth to every cup of tea.
