Spring flowers Free tea cosy knitting pattern
Bring some sunshine into your home with this springtime tea cosy from Val Pierce, topped with a pretty posy of crocuses and daffodils.
Make your mum’s day by knitting her our spring tea cosy, published in Knit Today issue 38, this Mother’s Day. Add as many flowers and leaves as you like to the top of the cosy. There are two kinds of flowers to choose from, daffodils and crocuses, both ideal for using up oddments of yarn from your stash.
Let the bright green yarn peek through the cream by bringing the yarn around the slipped stitches – it’s an easy technique to get the hang of, but you could always practise on a swatch before you start. The result looks more elegant than stripes, and gives the tea cosy a dainty finish.
