Transform your tea pot with this sugar skull inspired pattern to celebrate the Day of the Dead. This pattern is worked from the top down and is designed to fit a 2 cup globe shaped tea pot. A button closure has been included to make it easy to fit on to your hot pot and 3D roses can be added for extra effect.

Charts are included for both a white and black background. Working the charts requires good knowledge of colourwork techniques. Floating multiple strands at once or duplicate stitch are required.
