I had such lovely school teachers when I was growing up, there were a couple that I particularly liked the best and they have inspired my design for the School Teacher Tea Cosy.

I remember school teachers being nice and friendly and that they wore pretty clothes with frills, lace and floral patterns. So my teacher is wearing a lemon coloured dress edged with white and covered in pink daisy like flowers.

The school teacher has an apple in one hand and a book in the other. Her hair is a simple style and it’s kept out of the way with a hair slide. She is carrying a big bag. I imagine all school teachers to have big bags so that they can take the work books home to mark them. Behind her ear she has a trusty pencil to scribble notes in the pupils book.

When I was a child in one class we had a class pet, so I have given my teacher tea cosy an escapee class pet. He’s scampering behind her. Its a little hamster.

She’s a super project to knit and she’s lots of fun. There are two Youtube videos to accompany the pattern to help you, the links to the videos are in the pattern.

The pattern is knitted on two pins and is easy to follow.

The School Teacher 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 her very soon!

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