This is a mammoth knitting pattern and certainly not for the faint hearted. If you love a knitting challenge, this one is a great project. I suppose the trickiest part is knitting from two needle simultaneously to join the work, there are photos to show you, and it is only two rows that requires this. There is also knitting to the the back of a stitch from a previous row, but again a handy photo give you a good look at whats happening. The buttons on the front lapels are knitted bobbles, it did save on a lot of sewing buttons on afterwards, but then you have got the fiddle of knitting bobbles; but they do look the part.

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