The Summer Solstice tea cosy was inspired by a visit to the ancient stones of Stonehenge, it was such a beautiful and mindful place, that I wanted to capture that into a tea cosy.
The Summer Solstice tea cosy is a simple tea cosy with a grassy meadow, dotted with wild flowers. Adorning the top of the tea cosy are a few standing stones to represent Stonehenge.
I like the way that Stonehenge has a few upright stones connected at the top to look like arches and doorways, and I wanted to include that into the design.
The floral part of the main tea cosy is knitted with a short intarsia knitting chart of 8 rows. If you don't feel confident with intarsia, you could swiss darn the flowers on or sew on flower shaped buttons.
The Stonehenge Summer Solstice tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot that covers a Teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints.
The pattern will be available for digital download as soon as you have completed purchase, so you could start knitting it very soon!
This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Summer Solstice tea cosy.

I design and knit unique tea cosies. I really love designing exciting and unusual tea cosies, its great fun and people don’t mind having an over the top tea cosy. Plus they are a great talking point at tea time and make for brilliant knitting projects.
I have quite a following with regular customers who regularly buy my latest designs from my website TeaCosyFolk.co.uk
I have had a couple of patterns printed in the Simply Knitting Magazine, which is very exciting.
