What you need to know

Add festive charm to your teapot with Emma Varnam’s striped Christmas tea cosy – a fun and cosy holiday project.

Best served with a warm mug of minty candy cane tea, Emma Varnam's simple project is ideal for beginner crocheters as it involves no shaping. We’ve made ours in a two-colour stripe design to create a traditionally festive look, but you can easily follow the pattern with more colours and work more than 30 rows to create a larger cosy.
