Last summer I inherited my Mother-in-law, Pat’s knitting bag and in it I found a pattern for a tea cosy from 1955. As a tribute to Pat and my new found 1950s quarantine housewife status I decided to update it!
So, here is a new take on an old classic!

The teal and mustard one is worked in King Cole Curiosity and the rainbow one is worked in West Yorkshire Spinners Colour Lab Prism Brights. I used less than 100g for each cosy. You can use any DK yarn and it would even make a great stash busting project to use up some bits and bobs (true waste not, want not spirit!).

The texture is created by working a bean stitch around the post so you get a really satisfying texture. The instructions make a cosy for a standard 4 cup tea pot.

Shout if you need any help!

Thanks
