This beautiful crocheted American Milk Jug Cover can be used on your ice tea pitcher outside to keep insects from dropping in uninvited or as a fancy doily under a vase or piece of artwork.

You might wonder, “What is a Milk Jug Cover?” In a nutshell, a “milk jug” is a term used in some parts of the world to describe a “creamer” - the vessel included in most tea sets which is intended to hold milk or cream for use in coffee and tea. This phrase could also refer to a larger pitcher used for holding milk. When crocheted, milk jug covers typically resemble doilies. They often include beads, buttons or other baubles around the edges which add extra weight.
