This tea cosy is quick and easy to make with a simple yet effective stitch combination resulting in alternate rows of little bobbles. Using three colours in this way eliminates the tiresome chore of running in many loose ends as the yarn can be carried up the side and hidden in the finishing stages. The lower edge is finished with an upturned zigzag brim and the top has a similar feature. The tea cosy is gathered to fit the tea pot with a beaded drawstring. Spout and handle openings are finished with a simple scallop.

This pattern is within the capability of those with average crochet ability and could be easily adapted to fit other sizes of tea pot.

One 100g ball of the main and 50g ball in two contrasting colours should be sufficient to complete this project.
