Biography
Suzy Cowper is the designer and creator behind TeaCosyFolk, a collection of character-driven knitting patterns known for their charm, storytelling and imaginative detail. Based in Newton Stewart in Scotland, Suzy has been designing tea cosies since 2015 and has created hundreds of original patterns inspired by people, animals, history, folklore and everyday life.
Suzy works under both her own name and her brand name, TeaCosyFolk. She is also known professionally as Susan Cowper, and her work appears under all three names across magazines, interviews and craft publications.
TeaCosyFolk
TeaCosyFolk began as a small creative project and has grown into a well-known knitting brand with a worldwide audience. Suzy designs every pattern herself, writes the instructions, films the videos and manages the website and social platforms. Her designs are recognised for their personality, humour and sculptural construction, and many knitters collect her patterns as much as they knit them.
