Koala Tea Cosy - Free Knitting Pattern

This cute little koala will do more than his share towards entertaining your friends at an afternoon tea-party. He will be equally at home under a shady tree in the garden or beside a glowing fire indoors. He may also be made into a cuddlesome toy by filling with hygienic wool, and finishing underneath with a circle of knitting about five inches in diameter. These knitted toys are easily washed and refilled. [Note from Sarah: If making this cosy as a toy for small children use child proof safety eyes instead of beads] Cut the nose by small diagram using black kid such as is used for shoe tongues, or an out-of-use kid glove. The eyes are oval shaped black beads (about half an inch long) sewn on with a slant towards the nose. It is a good plan to examine a picture of a koala when doing these important finishings. The cosy is in plain knitting throughout.
