Product Description
If you kiss this frog, it wont turn into a handsome prince but it will keep your tea hot! The Frog Tea Cosy knitting pattern from TeaCosyFolk is a 6 page knitting project of amphibious fun.
The frog tea cosy is in a sitting position with his nose upwards, I think he's looking for some tasty flies. At the side you can see he has big powerful legs, and the classic webbed feet.
He's knitted in two tones of green with brown stripes running down his sides. On his back is a descending row of lumps that match his lumpy eyes on the top of his head.
He's a lovely tea cosy to knit and looks great with lots of realism. He's perfect for people who adore everything froggy.
The Frog tea cosy fits a medium sized tea pot 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 Frog tea cosy.
Frog Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern by TeaCosyFolk
What is Being Made
The Frog Tea Cosy is a knitted tea cosy designed to fit a 2-pint teapot or teapots that hold 6 to 8 cups. This downloadable knitting pattern from independent designer TeaCosyFolk creates a decorative and functional accessory featuring a frog design with safety eyes and stuffed details.
Craft and Techniques
This is an intermediate-level knitting project that employs several fundamental knitting techniques. The pattern uses double thickness yarn for specific sections, where yarn is divided into two balls and knitted as a single strand to create added depth and structure. The main construction begins with a cast-on foundation and incorporates ribbing for elasticity, followed by stocking stitch for the body of the cosy. The pattern includes decreasing techniques, specifically K2tog (knit two together) stitches, to shape the garment. Stitch markers are used throughout to help track pattern repeats and maintain consistency across rows.
Stitches Used
- Knit (K) – the fundamental knit stitch
- Purl (P) – used in ribbing sections
- K2tog (Knit Two Together) – a decrease stitch used for shaping
- Stocking Stitch – the primary stitch pattern creating a smooth, classic knitted fabric
- Ribbing – elastic knit and purl combination for the opening edge
Materials and Tools Required
The Frog Tea Cosy pattern calls for DK weight yarn in three colors from Stylecraft Special DK: 69g in Khaki (the primary color), 28g in Apple (for contrast), and 2g in Walnut (for fine details). Knitters will need two sets of needles: 5.5mm needles (UK size 5 or US size 9) for the main cosy construction and 4.00mm needles (UK size 8 or US size 6) for finer gauge work. Additional supplies include a stitch holder for managing stitches, 4 stitch markers for tracking pattern sections, a pair of 18mm yellow cat safety eyes for the frog's face, and polyester stuffing to give the frog design dimension and shape.
Tension and Sizing
Correct tension is essential for this project. When using 4.00mm needles with DK yarn, the pattern specifies 14 stitches and 23 rows should measure 10x10cm. The cosy is designed to accommodate standard teapots, fitting vessels that hold 6 to 8 cups or approximately 2 pints of liquid.
