Flora combines simple eyelet lace with a stunning floral stitch finished with an Estonian lace inspired knit on border. Semi-circular in shape it is elegant and easy to wear. Dress it up further with the addition of optional beads throughout the centre panel and border for something truly special.

Flora is knit from the top center down with a small provisional cast on that is then joined with Kitchener stitch or a 3 needle bind off. The body is knit first and the border is then knit on sideways along the live body stitches.

Beads are optional but really do help to make this piece something extra special.

The pattern includes both written instructions and charts and has been fully test knit.
