The Zeus Tea Cosy from the designer at TeaCosyFolk really brings a bit of drama to the teapot.

The main part of the tea cosy is Zeus’s storm cloud which is grey and raining. Zeus is stood on top of the cloud in his toga and he’s throwing lightning bolts about.

The cloud is knitted in bubble stitch which gives the work a lovely bubbly, billowy look. It’s not a difficult stitch, but it’s easier to do when you have seen a demonstration. There is a help video for this stitch on Youtube and the link is included in the knitting pattern and you can view the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdIy8qwYyBM

I love the lightning bolts. There are three on the cosy and they are simple to make but look really effective.

The 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!

This product is the knitting pattern only; to knit your own Zeus tea cosy.
