Brass Band Man Tea Cosy

Wonderfullt great fun, the Brass Band Man Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern is exciting to knit and the finished tea cosy will bring a blast to your tea times.

The main part of the tea cosy is a man dressed smartly in a suit with a cap on his head. You can see his little cheeks all billowed out as he blows into the enormously long instrument called a sousaphone.

I wanted to give the cosy a Christmas feel so around the back I have given the composition a little robin and I think it makes it look very sweet.

But it's not just a Christmas tea cosy, brass bands and players of brass instruments play all year round and so the band man will have all year appeal.

The knitting pattern uses Stylecraft Special DK and the main part of the tea cosy is knitted with double thickness yarn to keep the teapot and the tea really hot.

The Brass Band Man tea cosy fits a medium sized tea pot that covers a Teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints.
