This tea cosy knitting pattern from TeaCosyFolk, isn’t just wool and stitches; it’s a nod to parliamentary protocol and the heartbeat of governance.
TeaCosyFolk presents an extraordinary tea cosy; a tribute to the Opening of Parliament in timeless style. Picture Black Rod, almost audible as he knocks the rod against the old wooden door of the commons. The cosy itself is dressed in a black military-style coat, complete with buckled shoes at the front.
Grey hair, neatly gathered at the back, adds an air of authority. As the senior officer in the House of Lords, the Usher of the Black Rod exudes poise, perhaps even a touch of snootiness with a turned-up nose.
Black gloves encase the hands that wield the ceremonial Black Rod, for hammering the door. But that’s not all; Black Rod, also serving as Sergeant at Arms, wears a sword in a scabbard, ensuring order within the house.
The Black Rod tea cosy is a 8 page knitting pattern that is worked flat on straight needles. There are YouTube help videos for the trickier parts - links included in the pattern.
The Black Rod 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 very soon!
This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Black Rod tea cosy.

I design and knit unique tea cosies. I really love designing exciting and unusual tea cosies, its great fun and people don’t mind having an over the top tea cosy. Plus they are a great talking point at tea time and make for brilliant knitting projects.
I have quite a following with regular customers who regularly buy my latest designs from my website TeaCosyFolk.co.uk
I have had a couple of patterns printed in the Simply Knitting Magazine, which is very exciting.
