Three‑Toed Sloth Tea Cosy and Knitting Pattern

Description

Slow down to sloth speed at teatime with the Three‑Toed Sloth Tea Cosy; a charming, character‑driven cosy designed to keep your teapot warm while adding a touch of tropical wildlife to your kitchen. This design is perfect for knitters who love sculptural knitting patterns and animal‑themed tea cosies.

The sloth sits in his classic relaxed pose with his feet together and his hands resting up by his cheeks, looking like he’s still deciding whether he can be bothered to move. His gentle expression is created with a pair of 14mm black safety eyes and an 8mm black safety nose, giving him that unmistakable sleepy sloth look.

The claws are made using neat i‑cords for a smooth, curved finish, and there’s an i‑cord help video included for anyone who wants a quick refresher before they start.

He’s super cute, wonderfully woolly, and absolutely not in a rush, maybe he’ll get moving after another cuppa.

This is a lovely project for anyone who enjoys knitting character tea cosies, wildlife knitting patterns, or fun gifts for tea lovers.

Whilst there's still tea, this cosy is not going anywhere fast.
