Halloween Pumpkin Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern 

 

A green teapot sits on a wooden table outdoors, covered with an orange, pumpkin tea cosy. Around it are autumn leaves and chestnuts, with trees and dappled sunlight in the background. The design is Halloween Pumpkin Tea Cosy knitting pattern by Faye Perriam-Reed

I designed this pumpkin tea cosy knitting pattern in 2011 for Cosy Tea. The idea was to create something for Halloween that was simple enough for beginners and a quick-knit for more experienced knitters. The pattern can be worked on straight needles or in the round, and it uses just knit and purl stitches before decreasing for the top. The stalk is created afterwards and stuffed with a little toy stuffing or extra yarn.
