Rico Pom Pon

Here's one we made earlier...... Now knitters are turning their thoughts to the festive season and craft stalls, here's something that you can make in about an hour! Rico Pom Pon was very popular last year but some knitters are all scarfed-out and wanting to make something new with the yarn. How about a teacosy - functional, decorative, simple and funky! Knitted just like the scarf but cast on 20 stitches and knit 30 rows. Cast off. Make a second one and you will have used up no more than half your ball, so you'll have enough left to make a child's scarf or another cosy!
Place the two pieces together and sew together the tops and bottoms, leaving gaps for the spout and handle. Gather one side (the top of the cosy) and thread some matching ribbon through and tie in a pretty bow. Voila - you've made your first gift knit!
