The time has returned when a teapot looks undressed without its jacket on, so we’ve brought you this fantastic crochet tea cosy pattern as a real treat.

Crocheted in Anchor Freccia – you have a choice of over 80 colours to make it in. We would love you to email us pictures of your finished item – the wilder the better. You could even make it in Anchor Aida 10 which gives you even more colours to choose from.

This frilly little number will spice up any tea party and is a definite talking point! The web editor says can’t have a tea party without one.

(NB. This pattern has been improved and updated.)
