Volkswagen Campervan Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

Description

The Volkswagen Campervan tea cosy is a lovely summery style tea cosy that reminds me of holidays and beach days. What could be more summery and heart warming than a campervan tea cosy on your teapot?

This design is based on a split window Volkswagen Campervan, with the bit 'V' shape lunging down the centre front. It has knitted headlights and indicators and the suggestion of the Volkswagen emblem on the front. I love that it looks as if it has a face.

The top of the campervan tea cosy is very 'boxy' like the the campervan itself. I wanted to give the design a 3D look to it.

At the back it has a long window and two tail lights. There is a silver bumper at the front and back and of course, four wheels.

The campervan tea cosy is knitted in two main parts. The main part of the cosy is the coloured part that could be any colour and then the cream roof that is knitted separately and sew on. Then the other camper furnishings are knitted separately and sewn into place.

It's a lovely tea cosy that harks back to a time of picnics and sea side holidays. It's a lovely era, made perfect by a hot cup of tea.

Just throw the bags in and off we go - Tea and Campervanning!
