Flourished Tea Cosy Pattern

Flourished is a two-colour brioche tea cosy featuring columns of leaves growing upward from a central stem. The sculptural brioche fabric creates depth and warmth, while the repeating leaf motif brings a sense of gentle movement and growth. Designed to be both practical and decorative.

Brioche knitting is a technique that fundamentally relies on slipped stitches and yarn overs to create its characteristic thick, squishy, ribbed fabric which is ideal for this leafy tea cosy. As well as keeping the tea warm, the brioche ribbing allows the cosy to be stretched to any size tea cosy (within reason) and provide a snuggly fit. 

The tea cosy is worked in 2 pieces and then joined so that the leafy crown is worked in the round.
