After watching the mini-series of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice 1995 with Colin Firth, I was inspired by the beautiful muslin dresses of the Regency era. I have therefore designed two cropped fitted jackets to wear over a long Regency style dress* or over a lacy camisole top and tight jeans for a more contemporary look.

Whatever your fancy, the Jane Austen Shug is a great addition to your wardrobe! The garment is knitted in lace-weight yarn in stocking stitch and has a simple crocheted border. It is really easy to make and takes less than no time to finish!

If you are interested in updates for the forthcoming Regency style shrug (or other future patterns by me) then please follow me on facebook.

Happy knitting!
