The ever generous designer Susan Pandorf has donated another of her gorgeous Garden Variety Collection lace patterns to p/hop.

Sample knitted by Judith aka Jabberknit.

Poinsettia is another beautiful beaded shawl which uses 800m/ 874 yards 4ply/ fingering weight yarn and 3.25mm needles. It would look just as stunning unbeaded.

All patterns have been generously donated to the project by MSF supporters and are available for your knitting pleasure. In return, we ask that you make a donation to p/hop based on the hours of enjoyment you will get from knitting these patterns. Making your donation is easy. Just click here for pounds, here for US dollars or here for Euros. Thank you very much.

(Please note this is an abridged version which we use at festivals to save paper. Susan adds a  lot of historical background to her patterns which is not in this version of the pattern though all the pattern instructions and details are included. The longer version will be available shortly).
