Brighten your brew with this cheerful daisy-adorned tea and cafetiere cosy knitting pattern.

If you love knits that feel like a warm memory, the Daisy Chain Tea Cosy and Cafetiere Cosy is a delight. The design echoes the simple joy of threading daisies into chains, with each flower raised proudly from the cosy in soft, sculptural detail.

The main fabric is worked in Stylecraft Special Chunky using the String of Purls stitch, which cleverly forms the lemon‑yellow centres of the daisies. Each petal is knitted separately and stitched into place, creating a sweet, meadow‑like effect around your teapot or cafetiere.

The tea cosy fits a 2‑pint teapot (6–8 cups), while the cafetiere cosy fits a 1L cafetiere (8 cups) — perfect for brightening breakfast or adding charm to a summer table.

Once purchased, the pattern is available as an instant digital download, so you can start knitting right away.
