The Cake Lover Tea Cosy is a humorous, unisex pattern built around that universal moment of cake‑greed. The character clutching the cake can be customised to look like anyone, and the knit itself is fun, light‑hearted and full of charm. The 6‑page pattern is written in English with no charts, includes helpful photos, and contains links to YouTube help videos for the trickier bits.

The cosy is worked flat on two needles with seams and uses double thickness yarn for warmth. It fits a medium teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints, and is knitted in Stylecraft Special DK. It’s great for using up leftover yarn, and your digital download becomes available instantly after purchase. A cheerful knit for birthdays, celebrations, exam success, passing your driving test or retirement.
