A Tea Cosy

 

I finished the tea cosy which I started making a couple of weeks ago!

 

As you can see from the photos, I was completely influenced by the lovely colours in my Cath Kidston teaspoons when choosing the colour combinations for this project!

 

I used this pattern for knitting the main body of the cosy, I added my own edging using double and triple crochet. The pattern for the roses is from Nicki Trench's Cute & Easy Crochet - I love making these roses so much. The yarn was all double knitting, just small amounts I had left over from other projects but I think it was mainly Sirdar Snuggly.

 

I am so happy with how this turned out and I loved making it. It's good to have a nice new tea cosy, my old one was starting to look a little tired and this one looks pretty and fresh in my kitchen.


Hope you are all having a great week so far!
