Tingatinga Lion Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

The lion tea cosy is based loosely on old African Tingatinga art; a stylised art form that extenuates the features of African animals, with a blast of bright colours.  The lion tea cosy has a colourful main that looks like flames coming out from the head. The eye are extenuated as too is the lions muzzle in 3 ball like parts. At the back the lion has a flame tipped tail. I wanted the finish of the lion to look as much as possible as the African art work that had inspired me. 

The tea cosy is knitted with double thickness yarn to keep the teapot and the tea really hot.

The Tingatinga lion 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, very soon!
