Yarncrafting inspiration can come from many places. For some, it comes from a particular silhouette or the style of a particular period. For others, it’s color or texture. Recently, we’ve been seeing all kinds of amazing designs inspired by the world of Jane Austen, and our friends at Running Press Book Publishers have shared with us one of their newest books, Austentatious Crochet, which is filled with romantic designs that any Austen-fan will love. They’ve also provided us with a FREE pattern from the book to share with you!

Is there a knitting variant of this pattern???Â
Zontee
Hi Honey604, we don’t have a similar knit pattern available on LionBrand.com, but try searching for “knit cropped jacket” on Ravelry.com for some similar options that might work for you. Hope that helps!

I don’t crochet or knit but would love to pay someone to make me the lilac one on the cover. Do you know of anyone who would do this and how much would something like it cost?
Zontee
Hi cityrose, the cost is going to vary a lot depending on whether it’s a store providing the service, an individual who does this as a business, or a friend who might be willing to give you a good rate.
Generally, it will depend on how many hours the business/individual thinks it will take, plus the cost of materials, and in this case, possibly the book, since it is not a free pattern.
I’d recommend checking with your local yarn store and seeing if they either offer this service or know of people who custom-crochet items. You can also check on Etsy, as some crocheters offer this type of service in their stores. If you’re in the NYC-area, you can also stop by our flagship store, where they do offer this service and ask them to get a quote for you. Hope that helps!

I occasionally do custom work and Zontee is right – the cost will vary greatly by who you find and how specific you want to be. The book is about $11 and yarn will cost you anything from $4 to $12 a skein, depending on what you like. If you use someone online be sure to be as specific as possible about the color/type of yarn you’re paying for! Nothing worse than paying top dollar and getting something cheap in return. I work through Etsy now and there are many of us available to help!
