I was commissioned to design the Friesian Cow tea cosy. I was asked to include a cowbell and to have her chewing grass, and to have an udder.
Friesian cow's are dairy cow's so I gave her a large udder. In her mouthful of grass I thought it would be lovely to include a daisy. After reticently visiting a cow milking facility, what I noticed was that they have very bony bottoms, and I have tried to include this.
I think this tea cosy is charming and has a morning and breakfast tea time feel.
This Tea Cosy: is made from double thickness yarn for extra insulation

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.
