End of the War Kiss Tea Cosy and Knitting Pattern

Description

How would you celebrate the end of a world war? Would you savour a hot cup of tea or embrace the nearest person in sheer joy? That’s exactly what one happy sailor did at the close of World War II, capturing a moment of heartfelt relief and jubilation that’s become iconic. I’ve recreated this historic celebration as a unique tea cosy design, blending charm and nostalgia into every stitch.

The central figure of the tea cosy is the sailor himself, proudly dressed in his smart navy-blue uniform and crisp white hat. Held in his arms is a dental nurse, who was simply passing by when she became part of this unforgettable embrace. Together, their pose conveys a profound sense of triumph, unity, and the joy of peace after wartime.

Knitted entirely with Stylecraft yarn, this beautifully detailed tea cosy fits a medium-sized Price & Kensington teapot. It’s a heartfelt tribute to an extraordinary moment in history, offering tea drinkers a dash of sentimentality alongside their cuppa. A must-have for anyone who cherishes meaningful designs and a bit of historical storytelling.

Celebrate peace and joy with every cuppa and bring history to your teapot.

This Tea Cosy:

• fits a medium sized teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints
