Rugby Player Tea Cosy

After receiving quite a few requests for a World Rugby Cup tea cosy, I designed the Rugby Player Tea Cosy. The rugby player tea cosy is a traditional looking rugby player from bygone times.

The rugby player is wearing a stripy shirt and black shorts, He has a headband on his head to keep his unruly hair out of his eyes.

The rugby player tea cosy is holding an old school rugby ball, the brown leather sort. He is holding the ball out ready to drop kick it, you can see his leg raising up to connect with the ball.

I don't know much about rugby, but I do know that the players are big burly fellas, so I have tried to make the tea cosy chunky and muscley.

The rugby player tea cosy would be great for rugby fans or players and could be knitted in any colours to make him look like a particular team.

The rugby player tea cosy is knitted with double knitting wool which has been doubled to keep the teapot really warm.

The tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot that covers a Teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups.

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 rugby player tea cosy.
