This tea cosy is worked in an attractive ripple stitch with double trebles worked around trebles made on a previous row. Use of the smaller hook results in a deceptively close and chunky texture to keep that pot nice and warm. The lower edge is finished with an upturned brim of shell scallops whilst the top is adorned with pretty roses and leaves.

The tension is approximately 4 stitches and 4 rows to 4cm. One 100g ball of double knitting will be sufficient for at least one cosy with a 50g ball of contrast to work the lower scallop edge. Oddments in rosy colours and green for leaves are required for the top decoration.

Once the 4-row pattern is mastered, this a quick and addictive design, easily adapted to personalise with other floral embellishments.
