A beautiful tea cosy that I originally designed to promote my business.
The main body of the cosy and the door are knitted in dk yarn. The flowers are crochet in dk and the bees knitted in 4ply on 2.75mm needles. Stems and leaves for the flowers are embroidered in dk as well. I used a tiny button for the door knob but it could be embroidered using a French knot.
The main cosy takes 50g of yarn and you’ll need small amount of various yarns for the flowers and bees.
The flowers and door can be in the colours of your choice.
