The dairy Farmer tea cosy is a super cute addition to the farmers tea cosies. Being a dairy farmer he has a blue jumper and a blue and cram bobble hat, because it's especially cold on the morning milking round! The hat is removable to reveal a wild curly hair style. The pattern tells you how to achieve the straight look too.
The farmer has one of his dairy herd behind him ready for milking and in front of him is an old fashioned milk churn. The cow is sewn to the back of the tea cosy. She has a peach nose, beads for eyes and of course the all important udders, udder-neath!
The Dairy Farmer tea cosy brings tea and milk together at milking time.

I design and knit unique tea cosies. I really love designing exciting and unusual tea cosies, its great fun and people don’t mind having an over the top tea cosy. Plus they are a great talking point at tea time and make for brilliant knitting projects.
I have quite a following with regular customers who regularly buy my latest designs from my website TeaCosyFolk.co.uk
I have had a couple of patterns printed in the Simply Knitting Magazine, which is very exciting.
