Flower Power Tea Cosy by Jenny Whitehead

R50.00 – R300.00

A modern makeover of the classic tea cosy, this quick knit makes a perfect gift. The two-tone body is capped with a posy of bold flowers that take full advantage of the firm hold that you get from 100% natural wool. The pattern offers some challenges for intermediate level knitters: colour weaving and a ruche technique to create thickness in the body, short rows and grafting for a seamless circumference of the flower petals.
