Vintage 1900s Victorian Milk Jug, Sugar Bowl Cover Crochet Pattern

These little milk jug or sugar bowl covers are so sweet and looked so pretty on traditional tea tables in the Victorican and Edwardian eras.

They also perform a function in that they stop little insects such as flies and wasps

contaminating the contents of the bowls and jugs.

They are made with very fine cotton and a piece of muslin in the centre- you can use cotton,net or damask in the centre too. You could also add bead to the ends of the droplets to add a little weight to keep the cover down in light (or heavy) breezes if you are having your traditional tea on the lawn outside.
