Bring some chintzy vintage joy to your morning brew with this delightful Crochet Tea cosy.

The 15 page pattern is presented in a step by step guide with illustrative photographs. There are 9 colours in different stitches, which create a vintage, crochet style and would be a great way to use up left over yarns from your projects. The main two colours require 25g & 10g and the contrasting colours less than 5g each. The pink for the pom pom only requires 20g also. The pom pom design can also be crafted into a delightful keychain and is explained in the pattern.

The design will fit a 4-6 cup Teapot (1-1.2L) with added instructions to custom fit to a larger/ smaller teapot.
