Pirate Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

Description

The Pirate tea cosy is the perfect tea cosy to keep an old sea dogs tea hot whilst he scrubs the decks! This Pirate is a captain in all his fine and dandy clothes, cutting a dashing figure of a Pirate for a tea cosy.

The pirate tea cosy is oozing with detail; he's got an angry face with a beard and handlebar moustache and he wears a red bandanna beneath his three cornered hat with a skull and crossbones emblem. In one hand he has a cutlass and the other hand he's took hold of the ships wheel and is steering the course. As all good pirates do, this fearsome pirate has a trusty sidekick in the form of a green parrot. But what pirates love the most is treasure - and around the back of him is his latest haul of gems, there's a treasure chest full of them.

Pirates never seem to go out of fashion, I remember reading stories and watching programs on the telly about pirates, and my children have done the same.

What I like about this pirate is that he's gimmessing, he looks cut throat and aggressive. I imagine he would look fantastic on a teapot by the seaside, he makes me think of the sea and all things nautical.
