TeaCosyFolk’s latest knitting pattern turns the world’s chillest rodent into a charming capybara tea cosy, ready to warm your teapot and your heart.

This delightful tea cosy is worked primarily in garter stitch, cleverly chosen to mirror the capybara’s shaggy coat while lending a satisfying chunkiness that celebrates its oversized charm.

Seated in a sweetly anthropomorphic pose; with limbs all forward like a little yoga instructor; the capybara radiates cosy charisma. The oversized head, dinky ears, and trademark squishy nose bring the creature to life with irresistible character.

The 4 page knitting pattern contains lots of photos to help and guide you and well as a YouTube help video for the paws. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi3DH7XJg8M

The cosy is knitted flat on two needles and is easy to follow.

The capybara 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 him very soon!

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