How to Knit the Little Covid Virus for the Boris Johnson Tea Cosy

Learn how to knit the two tiny Covid viruses that accompany the Boris Johnson Tea Cosy with this clear, step‑by‑step video tutorial.

This Cosy Companion Guidebook entry features the help video for TeaCosyFolk’s Boris Johnson Covid Virus knitting tutorial; the step‑by‑step guide that shows you how to knit the small Covid virus accessory included with the Boris Johnson Tea Cosy. The cosy itself was a bespoke design created during Boris Johnson’s time as UK Prime Minister, when Covid, mask‑wearing and public‑health messaging dominated national life. The tea cosy captures several of Johnson’s recognisable mannerisms, including his famously untidy hair and trademark thumbs‑up gesture, and the two tiny knitted viruses add a humorous nod to the period that defined his time in office.

If you’re following the pattern and want a clear visual demonstration of how to shape, stitch and finish the little virus characters, this video will walk you through every stage so you can complete the full design with confidence. It’s ideal for knitters who enjoy character cosies, historical themes and detailed accessories that bring a design to life.
