Description
Knitting pattern for Poinsettia Christmas Wreath
No flower says Christmas like the beautiful poinsettia.
Poinsettias are part of the Euphorbiaceae or Spurge family. Botanically, the plant is known as *Euphorbia pulcherrima. * Poinsettias have also been called the lobster flower and the flame-leaf flower, due to the red colour.
I hope you enjoy knitting this striking wreath for your front door to display over the Christmas period.
The pattern has instructions for knitting the flowers and leaves and how to wire them for the arrangement.

Lovely pattern, arrived quickly by email
Amanda Toomey –
Arrived quickly and great the color coded sizing. There were a few places where the directions were a little unclear, though that could have been my lack of familiarity with intarsia patterned knitting. The hood, in particular, seems oversized for the size of the sweater. That said, I would order from this seller again.

Paying £5 for a pattern one has to print oneself is a bit much. The pattern itself is fine
