A quirky tea cosy for those with good imagination.
On a cold winter’s day, dream of a desert island to escape to.
And, if you like, add a few accessories: chocolate, a bottle of something nice, a good book …
– then sit back and watch the friendly dolphins!
(They really aren’t sharks, honest!)

The cosy is knitted flat, with double thickness 8 ply / DK yarn, in an easy stitch that mimics waves. The optional extras are in single yarn with smaller needles.
