Tail of Two Kitties Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

Cats always gravatate to somewhere thats nice and warm so The Tail of Two Kitties Tea Cosy knitting pattern to make a cat tea cosy is quite fitting.

The main part of the tea cosy is the cats bodies. Each cat body is knitted separately so there is not tricky working from charts, there is just strip work. In a similar fashion the heads are worked individually too and sewn together. This also means that you could make both cats stripy or both cats plain, so they can be tailored to look like any two cats.

The cats are sat looking away from one another, I thought this would be nice because it means that the tea cosy doesn't have a front or back.

The two kitties tea cosy is a quick and easy project to knit and it looks fantastic. The cats have so much character. It's the perfect tea cosy for tea lovers who have two furry friends.

The Tail of Two Kitties 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 very soon!

This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Tail of Two Kitties tea cosy.
