A cheery Tea Cosy designed to cover the
whole teapot, in banded Fair Isle pattern with
a striped lining to maximise heat retention.
Checked Tab handle echoes the lower
border. The provisional cast on means the
lining can be knitted to fit inside the Fair Isle
body, the drape of the fabric creates added
warmth
