Have you been caught by the gardening craze? The Greenhouse Tea Cosy was inspired by the gardening bug that seems to have gripped the nation.

The main part of the tea cosy forms the actual greenhouse. The structural parts of the greenhouse are white and the ‘glass’ is silver.

To add humour and interest I have knitted an oversized ripe tomato growing out from the roof window. Wouldn’t we all love to wake up to a giant prize willing tomato?

Also outside the greenhouse is a watering can, a few buttercups and a sunflower in a plant pot. They add interest from all views and they are things that tend to be found hanging around the greenhouse.

We’re all more nature aware these days and I thought it would be lovely to add a little bit of wildlife to the tea cosy, so I made a little hedgehog. He’s hiding around the side and he’s looking for tasty slugs.

The gardening inspired Greenhouse tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot that covers a Teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints.

The pattern will be available for digital download as soon as you have completed purchase, so you could start knitting it very soon!

This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Greenhouse tea cosy.
