Caveman Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

There's nothing primative about the Caveman Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern.

The caveman tea cosy toga is made from Sirdar Alpine Stable, which give that love fluffy animal skin look. His textured hair isn't confined to his head and comes round and under his chin to create a bit of facial hair.

I think his large nose and ears make him look quite adorable and a little bit ape like.

The spear head is knitted in silver to give it a carved flint stone look.

Peeping out from under his toga are his feet, you can just see his toes.

The Caveman tea cosy is a cheerful and humorous tea cosy that will make people chuckle.

The Caveman 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 Caveman tea cosy.
