American Cowboy Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

The American Cowboy Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern knits up into a wonderful cowboy style tea cosy. The Cowboy tea cosy was inspired by old Wild West movies; I love a good western and a pot of hot tea.

The cowboy is wearing a black tasselled jacket, and leather chaps with tassels at the sides. He's wearing a red and white checked shirt with a matching red neckerchief. On his head he has the traditional ten gallon hat. His hat is removable which is a nice touch and means that you can reveal his hair. Hanging from his belt he has a pistol and a length of rope.

It's a love tea cosy to knit and although it looks like he's knitted with Fairisle or intarsia it's an illusion. You don't need to be able to ready a chart or work with more than one yarn on a row. I wanted to keep it simple.

The cowboy tea cosy is a bright and cheerful tea cosy that is heartwarming and inviting, perfect for anyone who loves the Wild West.

The American Cowboy 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 him very soon!

This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own American Cowboy tea cosy.

It's an 8 page knitting pattern with lots of photos to guide you.

It liiks like intarsia for his shirt, but in reality the knitting is worked in stripes.

The pattern uses only the usual knitting stitches that most people are familiar with.
