The Posting a Letter Tea Cosy was inspired by winter wonderlands and seasonal greetings.

Snow always makes patterns as it blows along and huddles up, so at the bottom and the top of the cosy there is a sort of swag to represent billows of snow.

The little postbox is super cute and also has a snowy top. The detailing on the front of the box is intarsia worked from a chart. It is only a very small amount and could easily be swiss darned on if you prefer.

To keep the postbox upright, it’s strengthened with a sheet of thin craft foam on the inside. But you could also use a plastic bottle.

The dog is a sweetie and could be knitted in any colour. He has the letter in his mouth which could be a Christmas card or a Happy New Year card perhaps?

It’s a lovely tea cosy to make, with interesting rows and textures in the snow and its charming watching the dog come together.

The 6 page knitting pattern contains lots of photos to help and guide you.

The pattern is knitted on two pins and is easy to follow.

The tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot that covers a Teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints.

The pattern will be available for digital download as soon as you have completed purchase, so you could start knitting him very soon!

This product is the knitting pattern only; to knit your own Posting a Letter tea cosy.
