This Knit Along has Ended and the knitting pattern is no longer given away.

To beat the boredom of coronavirus isolation we are going to have a little tea cosy knit along, but you won’t know which tea cosy you’re knitting, we are leaving that as a mystery.

But it is an all new, never seen before design, so you’ll be doing pioneering knitting!

Lets see if you can guess who it is as you are making him.

How it Works
You sign up to the knit along on an online form. If you want to receive the pattern you will need to sign up to receive these special emails. Once you have signed up and email will be sent to you asking you to click a link to make sure you really do want to join the Knit Along.

Then on the 13th of April, the first email will be sent out. Every email will include a download link to each installment of the knit along pattern. You will receive one part a week for 5 weeks.

At the end of 5 weeks you will have knitted a stunning tea cosy that fits a 2 pint teapot.

The last knit along we did, we did have a few issues with bouncing emails, please make sure you have emptied your spam and junk folders, so that the pattern emails do not bounce. If you do miss an email please contact me directly and I will make sure you get the pattern parts that you need.
