Herring Packer Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

Description

The Herring Packer tea cosy is a knitted snapshot of harbourside in Shetland from a bygone time when herring girls worked outside gutting fish as they were landed.

The herring packer tea cosy is a lovely tea cosy of a herring girl stood next to a barrel with a silver herring in her hands; another one for the barrel.

On her head she is wearing a headscarf and she is wearing an apron to keep her dress clean.

A local cat is keeping watch for a opportunity of tip bit - a tasty alternative to mice.

It's so lovely to design a tea cosy in tribute to such hard working women.
