Old Grey Wizard Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

The Old Grey Wizard Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern is a magical wonder that looks amazing and is great fun to knit.

The Old Grey Wizard tea cosy is a tall upright tea cosy with a traditionally looking wizard in grey robes and overgrown beard.

The main cosy for the robe that the wizard is wearing and the body and head are knitted, and sewn on top.

The wizard is carrying a stick-like staff that branches at the top and makes twiggy-looking finial. The twiggy bits are worked by casting on and off again in a similar method to King Charles's crown, but with more stitches.

The wizard tea cosy is easy to knit and looks amazing. The hair and beard is made using the loop stitch, but then each loop is cut and the fibres unravelled to create this unkempt, crimped look that is perfect for a wizard.

A 5mm bamboo knitting needle is used to keep the staff ridged, but you could also use a piece of doweling.

The Old Grey Wizard is a lovely tea cosy, full of character, wizardry and hot tea.

The Old Grey Wizard 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 make your own Old Grey Wizard tea cosy.

The wizard is mainly stocking stitch, but the hair and beard is knitted in loopy stitch and there is a Youtube help video for this stitch included in the pattern.
