Our Virginia is very autumnal but you can use any colours you like to create a unique and personal piece.The scarf is made of 4-round crocheted motifs, sewn together, then a double crochet border added. It is 4 motifs wide by 30 long and measures 17cm by 132cm. The pattern is based on a simple, traditional crocheted square and is well suited to those with basic crochet skills.

Teacosies for a very traditional cup of tea. Busy and colourful, inspired by traditional designs where the thrifty knitter used up ends of wool to create very cheery cosies. The knitted cosies are lined and the crocheted one has deep fluted pleats to keep the pot warm. We have used traditional colours but the cosies are lovely in all sorts of combinations. They are designed to fit a medium to large teapot but can be adapted to fit other sizes. Choose from Flower Garden; Basketweave; Harlequin and Van Dyke designs.
