World Cup Goal Tea Cosy

Description

The World Cup Goal tea cosy is a football‑themed knitting pattern inspired by the excitement of match day, cheering crowds and the thrill of scoring the winning goal. Designed for Simply Knitting Magazine Issue 277, on sale 12th May 2026, this novelty tea cosy brings a touch of match‑day magic to your teapot.

The World Cup Goal tea cosy design is inspired by the beautiful game itself; football. The main cosy sets the scene with blue sky, green grass and a set of goalposts. At the back of the cosy is the net, knitted in a holey stitch that looks just like fishnet.

In front of the goal stand the two football players: one a goalie, the other a striker. The striker has launched the ball and it looks as though the goalie has misjudged the lunge; he hasn’t saved it this time. That’s another goal for England and the crowd goes wild.

It’s such a fun tea cosy for football fans and perfect for match day. The cosy is knitted in Stylecraft Special DK shades and the two players can be knitted in any colours you like, so it could be your team scoring the winning goal. You could even embroider a number on the striker’s back to match your favourite player.

You can find the knitting pattern for the World Cup Goal tea cosy in Simply Knitting Magazine Issue 277. The pattern will be available to buy direct from TeaCosyFolk on 12th November 2026.

Where Every Brew Is a Back‑of‑the‑Net Moment.
