Peregrine Falcon Tea Cosy and Knitting Pattern

Description

This unique peregrine falcon tea cosy is a surprisingly endearing tribute to one of nature’s most remarkable birds. During hunting dives, peregrines can reach speeds of up to 240 mph; roughly the same speed a cuppa disappears when it’s at the perfect temperature!

The cosy features plumate detailing across the front, worked in subtle stripes that beautifully echo the falcon’s natural plumage. His back and wings are knitted in graphite tones, with a little hooked beak and knitted black eyes; just like the real thing, which can spot prey from two miles away.

His talons are crafted as individual toes, sewn together before being attached for a lifelike finish. While peregrines are usually sleek and streamlined, this one’s built to fit a medium-sized teapot, so he’s more heavyweight than high-flyer.

A majestic addition for falconry fans and tea lovers alike, he brings a touch of wild elegance to your teapot while keeping your brew piping hot.

Falcon-fast and feather-warm; your teapot’s new wingman.

This Tea Cosy:

• fits a medium sized teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints
• is made from double thickness yarn for extra insulation
