Big Fish Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

You could say that the Big Fish Tea Cosy knitting pattern is a bit of a mouthful, well it was for the fish!

I thought it would be amusing to have a big fish that looked as if it had swallowed the teapot.

Not really modeled on any particular breed of fish; the fish cosy has big yellow lips, and a green body. To create the appearance of scales I knitted the main part of the cosy in a textured stitch.

So that the fish isn't simply round, there is some structure inside the cosy to give the tail end a more tapered look.

The tail, fins and eyes are knitted separately and sewn on.

The Big Fish Tea Cosy is a fun and unusual tea cosy that is perfect for people who love fish or fishing.

The 5 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 Big Fish 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 it very soon!

This product is the knitting pattern only; to knit your own Big Fish tea cosy.
