The Uncle Sam Tea Cosy is a fun and lively character who brings a burst of red, white and blue charm to the teapot. With his iconic striped hat, starry blue band and flowing white beard, he looks ready to celebrate in style. He’s full of personality and makes a brilliant addition to any kitchen, especially around the 4th of July.

The pattern is ten pages long and designed to be easy to follow. It’s knitted flat on two needles with seams, and there are no charts involved. The clever construction gives you all the detail without needing advanced colour work. If any part looks a bit fiddly, the help videos included will guide you through, and once you’ve watched them the steps feel simple. There are also lots of photos to show you exactly what to do.

He fits a medium sized Price & Kensington teapot and is a great project for anyone who enjoys knitting characters. The pattern is available as a digital download as soon as you complete your purchase, so you can start knitting him very soon. This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Uncle Sam tea cosy.
