I love the wintry nature programs, like march of the penguins. It looks so cold and it makes me feel so sorry for the poor old penguins battling with the cold. But then you see their cute fluffy chicks that emerge, which are fat, fluffy grey balls and you see why its all worth while. This is what I took inspiration from when designing the penguin tea cosy.

The adult penguins head bends right over as if to reassure the chick. The chick itself is made from fluffy Stylecraft Eskimo yarn, and safety toy eyes are used for their eyes.

The Emperor Penguin Duo tea cosy is great fun to make and she's stunning, a great project to have a go at and enjoy.

The Emperor Penguin Duo 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 them very soon!
