Union Jack Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern (PDF)

Add a touch of classic British charm to your tea table with this Union Jack tea cosy knitting pattern. Featuring bold colourwork inspired by the iconic flag, this cosy makes a striking centrepiece for celebrations, tea parties, or everyday use.

This design is best suited to confident knitters, as the colourwork section requires careful attention to achieve a neat finish (see photos). The result is a beautifully structured tea cosy that keeps your teapot warm while making a statement.

The pattern is written using Aran-weight (US Worsted) yarn and includes instructions to fit medium and large teapots, making it a versatile and practical knit.

Approx. 37.5 cm all round × 16 cm high

• Large tea pot (4–6 cups)

For best results, choose a yarn with a high proportion of pure wool for warmth and structure.
