The soldier tea cosy is an exciting new tea cosy that depicts a soldier in camouflage gear complete with binoculars, rifle, a couple of hand grenades and a camouflage covered helmet. The soldier has a bit of designer stubble and a short back and sides.
The main body of the tea cosy is knitted in a camouflage print with double thickness green, olive green, brown and black wool.
Keep the troops supplied with nice hot tea kept warm under a soldier tea cosy.
Remember our brave troops every day with the soldier 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.
