Pattern Introduction
There is something so pleasant about a well organized garden. Bursts of colors peeping out here and there to please the eyes and grant joy. This pattern uses knit and purl stitches to catch the eye in a similar fashion and also bring joy.

The flower bed border is made up of a 3-stitch garter stitch fabric. Once inside the beds a sea of stockinette stitch set the stage for our blossoms to shine. Little bursts of purl and knit stitches in a pattern that is surprising and orderly.

You may make and sell items from this pattern, but if you do, please credit me as the designer.

Happy knitting!
