The Punky Tiger Tea Cosy blends bold tiger markings with a fun punk‑inspired twist, thanks to the upright white teeth that wrap around the cosy like studs. The design has strong shaping, bright stripes and a striking graphic look that makes it a satisfying project for knitters who enjoy character work and colourwork.

It fits a medium teapot holding 6 to 8 cups or roughly 2 pints, giving a snug and practical fit. The tiger print on the main body is worked from a clear chart, and the cosy is knitted in Stylecraft Special DK for reliable colour changes and neat stitch definition. The teeth add a sculptural element that really brings the design to life.

The pattern is 4 pages long and includes photos to guide you through the details. Your digital download will be available immediately after purchase so you can cast on straight away. This is the knitting pattern only for making your own Punky Tiger Tea Cosy.
