Knit your way through the sunflower’s journey; from seed to bloom, with TeaCosyFolk’s beautifully detailed tea cosy pattern, ideal for craft shows and seasonal gifting.

Inspired by the sunflower’s life cycle, TeaCosyFolk have created a tea cosy that follows the journey of a sunflower from seed to bloom. The main body of the cosy represents a black and white striped seed pod, knitted in simple fair isle using a straightforward chart that is ideal for knitters new to colour work.

Set against a rich background, the design features four distinct stages of growth. There is a tiny seedling, a young plant with a forming bud, a sunflower in full bloom, and a fading flower head ready to release its seeds and begin the cycle again. This design is perfect for those who love floral knits, seasonal home décor, and autumn tea accessories.

The knitting pattern spans seven pages and is mostly worked in stocking stitch. It includes links to helpful video tutorials on YouTube to guide you through the trickier sections.

The Life Cycle of a Sunflower tea cosy is designed to fit a medium sized teapot that holds between six and eight cups or approximately two pints.

Bring a touch of nature and storytelling to your kitchen with this richly textured and symbolic tea cosy design from TeaCosyFolk.

The pattern is available as a digital download immediately after purchase so you can begin knitting right away.
