The Nelson Mandela Tea Cosy is a tea cosy to celebrate Nelson Mandela and of his amazing accomplishments.
I designed the Nelson Mandela tea cosy for a South African friend who doesn't really drink tea, but was keen to have a Nelson Mandela tea cosy.
The tea cosy shows Nelson Mandela stood with a walking stick, wearing a funky orange, mustard and brown shirt. I have given him pudgy cheeks and silver hair, in that classic style he always had.
The tea cosy pattern includes intarsia for the shirt and sleeves, this is worked from charts.
The Nelson Mandela Tea Cosy is a bright and cheery fellow and would provoke contemplation at tea times about matters such as human rights and philanthropist.
The Nelson Mandela 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 Nelson Mandela 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.
