Product Details
The Shakespeare Tea Cosy was inspired by England's great poet, playwright and actor, William Shakespeare.
I used an iconic portrait picture of William Shakespeare to design his head, and to get the classic hair do, pointed nose and moustache right.
The bottom of the cosy is edged with an fluffy yarn to look like fur, edging garments with animal fur was fashionable at the time amongst the middle classes.
In Shakespeare's right hand he is holding a quill, and in his left he is holding a skull, maybe he is writing the story of Hamlet? Around the back of Shakespeare, you will find a little shrew running along.
The pattern is knitted on two pins and is easy to follow and is mainly worked in stocking stitch.
The tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot that covers a Teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints.
This product is the knitting pattern only; One has to make their own Shakespeare tea cosy.
