Designed by Shelley Cormick
This whimsical cosy is designed to fit Ikea's 'Riklig' 1.5 Litre Glass teapot (it also may fit other pots of approximately the same size).
This pattern is an intermediate knitter's delight: knitted in one-piece, there is no cast-on, no bind-off, no blocking and no seaming. Express your knit and tea-personality by using bright colourful or stylish vintage beads and tassel combinations!
The pattern includes guiding photographs of each step, including creating the tassel. Scour your local op-shop for some vintage or unusual beads, or save your scrap yarn to make contrasting tassels to match your favourite tea-wear, or to the taste of friends and as a delightful gift.
