American Cowboy Tea Cosy

The American Cowboy Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern is a fun to knit pattern that makes this amazing tea cosy in the form of a traditional cowboy that will delight you. The Cowboy Tea Cosy is a bit of an enigma really because it is generally thought that Americans don't know what a tea cosy is, but here they have one especially for them.

The cowboy is wearing a black tasselled jacket, and leather chaps with tassels at the sides. He's wearing a red and white checked shirt with a matching red neckerchief. On his head he has the traditional ten gallon hat. His hat is removable which is a nice touch and means that you can reveal his hair. Hanging from his belt he has a pistol and a length of rope.

It's a love tea cosy to knit and although it looks like he's knitted with Fairisle or intarsia it's an illusion. You don't need to be able to ready a chart or work with more than one yarn on a row. I wanted to keep it simple.
