Jane Austen Tea Cosy and Knitting Pattern

Description

2025 marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen, and to honour this literary icon, TeaCosyFolk has designed a tea cosy in her likeness; a charming tribute to the beloved author.

Jane Austen, the famed Georgian novelist, captivated readers with her witty portrayals of 19th-century middle and upper-class society, weaving tales of love, ambition, and, of course, afternoon tea. In Austen’s time, teatime was more than a refreshment; it was a social ritual, a moment for conversation, gossip, and genteel elegance.

Inspired by a well-known portrait of Jane, this tea cosy beautifully captures her classic look; a soft blue dress, a white bonnet, and delicate brown curls peeking from beneath. The hem of the dress features a knitted white frill, with a handy tutorial available to guide you through the technique.

No tribute to Jane Austen would be complete without a book in hand! She holds a dark red, leather-bound volume, reminiscent of the rich, sumptuously bound novels of her era.

A must-have for Austen enthusiasts and a delightful celebration of one of the world's most cherished authors. Happy Birthday, Jane!
