Daisy Cup Cosy features a tiny little plant growing in a flower pot, made in Fair Isle technique. The cosy is suitable for a large cup of coffee.

The pattern is worked in rounds bottom up. The increases are worked mid-height to achieve a better fit. The top and the bottom edges are finished with crochet border.

The pattern requires small amount of yarn (about 2-3 g of each colour), so it might be a great way to utilise yarn leftovers from a bigger Fair Isle project.
