Bring the beautiful and brightly coloured kingfisher to your kitchen table with this stunning knit

The Kingfisher tea cosy is knitted flat in two pieces from the bottom up. The Kingfisher motif is worked using the intarsia technique (twist yarns at the colours changes to avoid holes).
The pieces are seamed and the i-cord edging and hanging loop
added. The tea cosy is lined with cotton fabric and wadding.
