Crochet/Knitted Teacosies in Sirdar Country Style DK – Pattern 8017

This delightful pattern from Sirdar (pattern number 8017) presents four charming teacosy designs, combining both knitting and crochet techniques, all worked in Sirdar Country Style DK yarn. Each teacosy is designed to fit an average size teapot, making them a practical yet decorative addition to any kitchen or a wonderful handmade gift. The four designs are split into two crocheted cosies and two knitted cosies, each with its own distinct character and colourwork detail.

The Four Teacosy Designs

Crochet Teacosy with Grapes

The Crochet Teacosy with Grapes is a richly textured design featuring a decorative grape motif, bringing a rustic, country-kitchen feel to your teapot. This cosy is worked in three colours of Sirdar Country Style DK:

• Colour A: Shade 651 – 1 x 50g ball
• Colour B: Shade 642 – 1 x 50g ball
• Colour C: Shade 650 – oddment only

The grape embellishment and multi-colour construction make this an engaging project for crocheters who enjoy adding dimensional or appliqué-style decorative elements. A button is also required to complete the finishing of this cosy. The design is worked using UK crochet terminology throughout, with US equivalents noted in the pattern abbreviations for international crafters.

Crochet Teacosy with Flowers

The Crochet Teacosy with Flowers is a pretty, cottage-style design featuring floral decoration, worked in a fresh three-colour palette of Sirdar Country Style DK:

• Colour A: Shade 643 – 1 x 50g ball
• Colour B: Shade 651 – 1 x 50g ball
• Colour C: Shade 649 – 1 x 50g ball

Like the Grapes cosy, this design also requires one button for finishing. The floral motifs add a decorative flourish that showcases the versatility of crochet for surface embellishment and appliqué work. This cosy uses the most yarn of the four designs, with full 50g balls across all three colours.

Knitted Teacosy Robin

The Knitted Teacosy Robin is a charming novelty design featuring the much-loved robin redbreast, a classic motif in British craft traditions. It is knitted in Sirdar Country Style DK using three colours:

• Colour A: Shade 409 – 1 x 50g ball
• Colour B: Shade 402 – oddment only
• Colour C: Shade 629 – oddment only

To bring the robin to life, the pattern also requires small pieces of blue, black, and white felt for the facial features and detailing, adding a playful three-dimensional quality to the finished cosy. This combination of knitting and felt craft makes the Robin cosy a particularly fun and creative make.

Knitted Teacosy Chicken

The Knitted Teacosy Chicken is another endearing novelty design, this time featuring a farmyard chicken — a perfect companion to the Robin cosy and equally suited to a country-style kitchen. It is also knitted in Sirdar Country Style DK across three colours:

• Colour A: Shade 412 – 1 x 50g ball
• Colour B: Shade 402 – oddment only
• Colour C: Shade 629 – oddment only

As with the Robin, small pieces of blue, black, and white felt
