Fancy a pot of tea? Here is a delightful collection of unique, easy-to-make tea cosies to cheer every table.

Tea cosies have never been so trendy and this fabulous collection of whimsical and humorous ideas will ensure your teapot becomes the focal point of every tea break. Great for using up oddments of yarn or for indulging a passion for colours you love, these patterns are quick to knit and decorate.

With more than 40 designs to choose from, all with patterns that are clearly written, there is sure to be something to please every knitter whatever their level of skill or ability.

There are plain and rib knits, colourful cables, textured yarns and elaborate motifs that will transform this practical item into a sculptural work. Choose from a ribbed cosy decorated with liquorice allsorts, a white Christmas knit complete with snowballs, or a pink moss-stitch design with sweet mice. Little stuffed chickens, white rabbits, cute mice, silk roses, felt flowers and larger than life bees and caterpillars are just a few of the quirky and comical decorations that make up this fantastical selection that are sure to make taking tea the highlight of everyday.
