Thistledown
On every hill, on every glen
There stands a flower fair
She’s regal and majestical
With a beauty that is rare
Admired much by one and all
Come skies of blue or grey
This lady is a Scottish queen
In each and everyway
From Frank Maguire’s “A Scottish Queen”

This wrap is knit top down, commencing with the I-cord tab cast on and completed with an I-cord cast off.
