Hollyhock Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

Hollyhocks are a very old flower that have traditionally been associated with cottage gardens that was my inspiration for the Hollyhock Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern.

Hollyhocks (Alcea Rosea) are tall growing plants with strong stems and large, impressive, brightly coloured flowers and I thought they would make the perfect subject for a summer tea cosy.

The Hollyhock tea cosy is perfect for stash busting, each stem of flowers could be any colour you like, or any colour that your small left over balls of yarn dictate. Or you could choose colours that compliment a particular room or garden, or your shades of your favourite colour maybe? 

The tea cosy is knitted with double thickness yarn to keep the teapot and the tea really hot.

The Hollyhocks tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints.

This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Hollyhocks tea cosy.
