The TeaCosyFolk's Victorian Ice Skater Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern is a beautiful knitting project and she looks so wonderfully wintery.
The Victorian ice skater is wearing a big dress down to the floor as they used to in the Victorian era. Over the top of her plum colour dress she is wearing a dark red coat with cream edging, and on her head is a Santa style hat adorned with a sprig of holly.
It's not until we see the back of the cosy that we see the elevated foot and ice skate. She's gliding along on one leg.
She makes me think of that snowy scene in Little Women where Laurie and Jo go ice skating on a lake.
There are a few tricky bits, but there is a link in the pattern to a Youtube Help video.
I think she's a lovely unusual Christmas tea cosy that people will adore, especially the Downton Abbey and Bridgerton fans!
The pattern will be available for digital download as soon as you have completed purchase, so you could start knitting her very soon!

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.
