School Teacher Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

The School Teacher Tea Cosy knitting pattern is a design to celebrate school teachers and to thank them with yarn, because nothing says thank you like knitting.

What I remember about my primary school teachers is that they wore pretty dresses and blouses, so the school teacher tea cosy is wearing a flowery dress. The centre of the flowers are actually holes to show off parts of the teapot beneath.

I think we always think of teachers with an apple and a book, but I suppose that they always have a pen or pencil as well. Hanging off her shoulder, I have given her a big bag to carry all the work books home in to mark.

At the back of her I have knitted her a little hamster. I remember as a child we had a school pet in the class, and I thought this school teacher should have a little pet too. However, I think he must have escaped from his cage!

She's a super project to knit and she's lots of fun.

The pattern is knitted on two pins and is easy to follow.

The School Teacher 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 her very soon!

This product is the knitting pattern only; to knit your own School Teacher tea cosy.
