My newest teacosy

Here is a bit of a lop-sided picture

of my latest tea cosy

 

I made three flowers to go on the top

There is a bit of a story on how this cosy came about.

Back in 2009 I found this brown, green and orange cosy

at a garage sale.

 

 

At that time I had never seen a cosy like

this and wondered it I could make one like it.

I could figure out most of the pattern but

I really couldn't figure out how the ridges were made.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when

I decided to look again on Ravlery

and there I found a bunch of cosies that

were made from an Australian booklet.

 

A sweet Ravelry member explained how

the stitch was made.

Turns out it is a puff stitch which

is made around the back post

of another puff stitch.

It causes this lovely edge that 

stands out nicely from the flat dc.

Here is a shot of my cosy from the

other side which shows the ridges better.

 

I have to say this was a fun project from start to finish.
