The Chinese New Year Rabbit Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern from TeaCosyFolk was inspired by colour and the approaching Chinese new year which this year is the Year of the Rabbit.

This cute and colourful Year of the Rabbit with its beautiful patterns and detailing worked in white to contrast with the colours making a very stylised looking rabbit cosy.

The rabbit is holding a big, red Chinese lantern which symbolises good fortune, a wonderful wish for the coming year ahead.

The rabbit symbolises patience and luck, and people born in the year of the rabbit tend to be soft and tender, and this adorable tea cosy design encompasses all that.

Although he was designed to be a Chinese New Year Rabbit, he could just as easily be an Easter Bunny tea cosy, and the lantern could be switched to be an Easter egg.

The Chinese New Year Rabbit tea cosy fits a Small sized teapot that holds 2 cups or 1 pint, for one person.

The Chinese New Year Rabbit tea cosy is a 5 page knitting pattern that has lots of photos to help and guide you. The pattern uses Stylecraft Special DK yarn.

The pattern will be available for digital download as soon as you have completed purchase, so you could start knitting very soon!

This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Chinese New Year Rabbit tea cosy.
