Summer Solstice Tea Cosy

The Summer Solstice Tea Cosy celebrates the longest day of the year with an impression of Stonehenge that was built for such ceremonies by our Neolithic ancestors. I wanted to create a tea cosy celebrating the stones and the Summer Solstice.

The Summer Solstice tea cosy is a simple tea cosy with a grassy meadow, dotted with wild flowers. Adorning the top of the tea cosy are a few standing stones to represent Stonehenge.

Stonehenge is perhaps the world’s most famous prehistoric monument, and now you can visit the henge, and then knit it with this amazing pattern - enjoy hot tea as you watch sunrise at Stonehenge every morning.

The floral part of the main tea cosy is knitted with a short intarsia knitting chart of 8 rows. If you don't feel confident with intarsia, you could swiss darn the flowers on or sew on flower shaped buttons.

The Stonehenge Summer Solstice tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot that covers a Teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints.

The pattern will be available for digital download as soon as you have completed purchase, so you could start knitting it very soon!

This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Summer Solstice tea cosy.
