Daisy Chain Tea Cosy and Cafetiere Cosy Knitting Pattern

Bring a burst of sunshine to your brew with the Daisy Chain Tea Cosy and Cafetiere Cosy knitting pattern. Inspired by childhood afternoons making daisy chains on the lawn, this cheerful set wraps your teapot and cafetiere in a ring of raised, three‑dimensional flowers.

The cosy’s soft, rippling texture is created using the String of Purls stitch, which forms the adorable lemon centres of each daisy. The white petals are knitted separately and sewn around the centres, giving the whole piece a wonderfully tactile, charm.

Worked in Stylecraft Special Chunky, it’s a quick, satisfying knit that looks beautifully detailed without being complicated.

The tea cosy fits a 2‑pint teapot (6–8 cups), and the cafetiere cosy fits a 1L cafetiere (8 cups).
Your pattern will be available for instant digital download as soon as you complete your purchase, so you can cast on straight away.

This listing is for the knitting pattern only, and includes instructions for both the tea cosy and the cafetiere cosy.

The pattern is written in English and is worked flat on two needles with seams.
The 'String of Purls' is worked in short rows.

This tea cosy fits a 2 pint teapot or teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups.
