Koala Tea Cosy

Add a touch of Aussie cuteness to your teapot with the TeaCosyFolk Koala Tea Cosy Pattern, that brings this iconic marsupial to life in cosy, creative form.

I’ve always adored koalas; their cuddly charm and rounded shape make them perfect inspiration for a tea cosy. With National Koala Day celebrated at the start of May, designing the Koala Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern by TeaCosyFolk felt like the perfect tribute. The cosy is worked mainly in garter stitch, giving the koala’s coat a plush, textured look, while the loopy stitch on the ears adds a touch of fluffy realism. His naturally rounded body shape mirrors the curves of a teapot beautifully, making this design both characterful and practical.

Whether you’re a tea cosy collector, a fan of Australian wildlife, or simply love koalas, this joyful knitting pattern is a must-knit addition to your project list. The 6-page pattern is knitted flat on two needles and is easy to follow, with a YouTube tutorial included for the loopy stitch.
