Get Well Soon Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

Description

I thought it would be fun to design a tea cosy with a get well soon theme. I thought it would make a nice tea cosy to gift to someone who was under the weather and to cheer them up.

The tea cosy has someone all tucked up in bed and all you can see is their head. I gave them messy hair because I find after a few sick days in bed, I always have very messy hair.

The bed is an old fashioned one and is dressed in old fashioned style, with a valance sheet hanging down and a patchwork blanket. I made the bed a brassy colour but it could be knitted to look like wood.

The little blanket is super cute and is knitted in strips that are then sewn together. That way there is less sewing then sewing squares, and it means that the blanket can have a bit of colour work without having to use intarsia.

At the bottom of the bed is the cat who has come along to visit the patient but from a safe distance.

It is a colourful and cute tea cosy that despite it's subject, makes you want to smile.

A tea cosy to wish a speedy recovery.
