This is a pattern for a Nature Tea Cosy, originally published in Knit Today. It is in stocking stitch with a bobble border, intarsia stems, and knitted leaves. The flowers are crochet. There is a bee sitting on top which is knitted. You could alternatively do the stems as Swiss darning or chain stitch embroidery. The pink yarn is split to make the flowers. A 4 ply yarn in the correct colour could be used instead.
