Amuse your guests on Christmas day with Tea Cosy Folk’s latest
quirky cosy, which takes pigs in blankets to a whole new level of fun!

This Christmas tea cosy of pigs in their blankets has the pigs knitted and sewn on first and then the blankets are put on after.

The blanket is knitted in strips and then the long strips are sewn together, so there are no charts or intarsia to knit, it’s really simple. Some of the squares on the blanket have also been embroidered to add interest. The colours of the blankets are bright and Christmas inspired, but you could use any colours you like. It’s great for yarn stash busting.

There is a help video to accompany this knitting pattern that can be found on Youtube, to show you how to finish the blankets. https://youtu.be/5SpMtRRNU0E

And there is another video to show you how to turn the pigs into Christmas baubles for your Christmas tree.

It’s a brilliant tea cosy for anyone who loves pigs and Christmas.

The knitting pattern uses Stylecraft Special DK. The tea cosy is knitted with double thickness yarn to keep the teapot and the tea really hot.

The Pigs in Blankets tea cosy fits a medium sized tea pot 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, very soon!
