Product Details
The Dog Posting a Letter Tea Cosy reminds me of old Christmas greeting cards depicting a dog in a wintery sceen posting a letter, and I wanted to create this as a tea cosy.
Snow always makes patterns as it blows along and huddles up, so at the bottom and the top of the cosy there is a sort of swag to represent billows of snow.
The little postbox is super cute and also has a snowy top. The detailing on the front of the box is intarsia worked from a chart. It is only a very small amount and could easily be swiss darned on if you prefer. To keep the postbox upright, it's strengthened with a sheet of thin craft foam on the inside. But you could also use a plastic bottle. The dog is a sweetie and could be knitted in any colour. He has the letter in his mouth which could be a Christmas card or a Happy New Year card perhaps? It's a lovely tea cosy to make, with interesting rows and textures in the snow and its charming watching the dog come together.
