The Old Grey Wizard Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern is magic (pun intended).

In modern stories and folklore we have been fascinated by wizardry and incantations and spells. Some times wizards are portrayed as good beings and other times they are evil enchanters.

The wizard tea cosy is dressed in a robe and he is wearing a cape for extra warmth. On his head he has the typical wizards pointy hat that has bent over.

The wizard is carrying a stick-like staff that branches at the top and makes twiggy-looking finial. The twiggy bits are worked by casting on and off again in a similar method to King Charles’s crown, but with more stitches.

The wizard tea cosy is easy to knit and looks amazing. The hair and beard is made using the loop stitch, but then each loop is cut and the fibres unravelled to create this unkempt, crimped look that is perfect for a wizard. 
A 5mm bamboo knitting needle is used to keep the staff ridged, but you could also use a piece of doweling.

The Old Grey Wizard is a lovely tea cosy, full of character, wizardry and hot tea.

The Old Grey Wizard tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot 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!
