What you need to know

Keep your cup of joe piping hot with a little help from this cosy, crafted by designer Erika Åberg.

Designer Erika named this cosy Shetland. For Erika, there is something deeply caring about a tea cosy — or, as here, a coffee cosy — a simple, heartfelt expression of care that she associates with Shetland. Here, that sentiment is captured in a geometric pattern that flirts with tradition while inviting playful experimentation with colour. This project is taken from Island Knitting by Erika Åberg, available to purchase from Search Press at http://www.searchpress.com
