Inspired by the robin who visits their garden in Norway, the design team Arne and Carlos created this cheerful tea cosy. The stranded colourwork pattern is worked in DK merino wool, and can be adapted to reflect the colours of your own favourite garden bird! The cosy in The Knitter magazine photograph has been decorated with a knitted robin on top. Find instructions for the robin in Arne and Carlos’s new book, Field Guide to Knitted Birds.
