The Happy Buddha tea cosy is a cute tea cosy of a cheerful Buddha who is smiling, the perfect way to brighten every tea time.
He is also known as the “Buddha of Wealth”. It is believed he will bring wealth and prosperity to a home or business.
Taking the teapot as a starting point I plumped it our further with a stomach and chest, and I gave Buddha a fatter face and limbs that I would usually make for a tea cosy. He's wearing the classic; open, red robe. And he is holding prayer beads and a sack of money, the classic looking laughing buddha.
The happy Buddha tea cosy is fun to make and quite simple. He'd be great for people into Yoga, feng shui or spirituality.
The happy Buddha 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 him very soon!
This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own laughing buddha 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.
