This tea cosy was based on several patterns that I have seen and admired on Ravelry. It is a very basic cosy knitted in 2 pieces and sewn together leaving gaps for the handle and spout. Then it is a case of making a whole load of pretty roses and leaves to arrange on top. The cosy is knitted on 7mm needles from Rowan Cocoon and the flowers are made from a variety of scraps of wool from my stash. It took an evening to make the parts and then another to sew it all together. The teapot is quite an unusual shape - a bit taller than most teapots so I had to make sure the cosy was long enough. I love the finished result. Pretty and practical.
Alfie was also quite interested...
