Churchill Mark IV Tank Tea Cosy

From Normandy to Needles, The Tank Tea Cosy makes for a special comemorative saga.

Our design takes cues from the iconic Churchill Mark IV Tank. Picture it: rugged, formidable, and ready for action. The caterpillar tracks? Discreetly covered—the mark of a true tea cosy warrior. And that single gun? A symbol of focused strength.

The main body of the tank is the actual tea cosy and the other tank parts are knitted and sewn on. The hull is split in two, so that the tank can straddle the spout and handle openings.

The bogies or wheels that move the tracks along are knitted as bobbles and you knit that panel. There is a help video for the bobbles on Youtube - the link is included in the knitting pattern.

If you're celebrating D-Day, this project awaits. Let’s stitch history together! Dive into history with our latest knitting pattern, the Churchill Mark IV Tank Tea Cosy. Crafted in khaki yarn, this cosy creation pays tribute to the brave souls of Normandy.
