Ye olde Cornish fisherman with his mustard coloured gansey with an anchor on it, has still got one fish left in his nets that he's going to fry for his tea.After a day at the seaside I was inspired to knit the fisherman tea cosy and its the gansey jumper he's wearing that makes him Cornish. I wanted my fisherman to look like one from by gone times, so he has traditional lobster pots and glass buoys, and he has a traditional look about him.
I based his face on an old photo that I found on Google image search of a real fisherman, he has podgy cheeks and a beard that framed his face rather than covered it.
At the back of the fisherman you can see the anchor on his gansey more clearly, and he has picked up a starfish that is casually creeping over the lobster pot.
I love this tea cosy; you can almost smell the sea and hear the seagulls.
It's a fun tea cosy to knit with lots of textured knitting.
A Cornish tea cosy for a Cornish tea.
