The Mountain Rescue Tea Cosy knitting pattern was inspired by the amazing and often voluntary Mountain Rescue teams and the wonderful mountains that they work on.

The main part of the tea cosy is knitted in srat stitch, a textured stitch to give the impression of grass. It’s always exciting to learn a new stitch. Then, above the treeline, the rocky part of the mountain starts.

I have divided the mountain to give it two peaks to reflect the Mountain rescue logo. On the tops of the mountains I have added snow. To finish the landscape, there are nine spruce trees and a little stream running down from the mountain tops.

On the front of the cosy I have knitted a rescue team member in his hard hat and red jacket and he is being lead by the mountain rescue dog, who has a high vis jacket on.

Perched on the mountaintop is the rescue chopper. The rotors of the helicopter are made with recycled plastic and give the impression that the rotors are actually turning.

The Mountain Rescue tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot that covers a Teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints.

The pattern will be available for digital download as soon as you have completed purchase, so you could start knitting it very soon!

This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Mountain Rescue tea cosy.
