Description

The Koala tea cosy was designed for the Simply Knitting Magazine issue 263 which goes on sale on the 17th April 2025.

The Koala Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern is an adorable design that brings the charm of Australia’s beloved marsupial right to your teapot!

This pattern was inspired by the endearing and iconic koalas, known for their slow, relaxed nature and their love of eucalyptus trees. The design celebrates everything we love about these wonderful creatures, making it a fitting tribute for National Koala Day at the start of May; a day dedicated to raising awareness for koala conservation.

This tea cosy is not only incredibly cute but also fun and engaging to knit. Its playful details, such as the koala’s fuzzy ears and sweet face, capture the essence of these cuddly animals, bringing warmth and character to your teapot.

Whether you’re a fan of all things Australian or simply adore koalas, this knitting pattern is the perfect way to combine creativity with your love for these gentle animals. Knit your way to a koala companion that adds a dose of charm to teatime!

You can find the knitting pattern for the Koala tea cosy in Simply Knitting Magazine issue 263. The pattern will be available to buy direct from TeaCosyFolk on 17th November 2025.
