Turnip Tea Cosy and Knitting Pattern

Description

The charming and unusual Turnip tea cosy is inspired by the Purple Top Milan turnip, making it a perfect addition for gardeners and vegetable lovers alike. With its unique root vegetable design, it brings a touch of the veg patch into the home.

The leaf stalks of this adorable turnip tea cosy are cleverly stiffened with 12mm clear boning, giving them a realistic and sturdy appearance. The purple top adds a vibrant touch, reminiscent of the classic Milan turnip. The staggered colour change of the cream turnip below to the pinky purple top is worked in 4 rows of intarsia from a chart.

The delightful Turnip Tea Cosy is designed to snugly fit a medium-sized teapot, so as root vegetables go, it's a whopper and reminds me of that fairytale of the giant turnip.

Embrace the charm of the garden with the Turnip Tea Cosy, a perfect blend of practicality and creativity.
