Heritage Steam Train Tea Cosy

The Heritage Steam Train Tea Cosy turns your teapot into a chunky little steam engine, perfect for any train enthusiast.

The old trains of bygone days are so characterful that I wanted to design a steam engine tea cosy that was full of charm and nostalgia.

The steam locomotive is a green engine with a water tank on either side. The train has a chimney funnel and a steam dome, and a small cab. The cab is a pocket, and there is a pattern to knit the Loco Driver in a denim boiler suit. Of course, the train driver could look like someone you know, and you could also knit him a companion to shovel the coal.

The little steam engine has buffers at the front and rear and four wheels and coupling rods.

The Steam Train tea cosy had a lovely tea cosy and great fun to knit and would make a wonderful talking point at any teatime.

The pattern will be available for digital download as soon as you have completed purchase, so you could start knitting it very soon!
