The knitted tea cosy was a staple of church bazaars here for ages (found on
the same stall as the crocheted poodle to cover the toilet paper roll). I
remember one pattern that became the rage that had a basketweave knit base,
then lots of knitted or crocheted flowers sewn on top, to look sort of like
a flower basket.
