Sandcastle Tea Cosy

TeaCosyFolk's Sandcastle Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern was inspired by a day at the beach making sandcastles.

The sandcastle itself is very simply and has a textured surface to give it a gritty sandy look. The texture has a castellated edge upper edge to give a castle like feel.

The castle is also decorated with a starfish, seaweed, an urchin, auger and cockle shells. But one shell has come to life and its trying to get away. Around the back is a little hermit crab with his eyes on stalks and his claw out ready to fight.

There are short rows in the sea shells with means you turn the work before reaching the end of the current row. And you have to knit bobbles. There are links to Youtube Help Videos included in the Knitting Pattern.

It's a lovely summery tea cosy that fills teatimes with nostalgia, you can almost smell the seaside!

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