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.

I first started to design clothes for my children when they were younger and went on to sell garments through shops and craft fairs. I also taught the use of machine knitting and knitwear design. I later followed a career in IT, but I now have grandchildren and whilst hand knitting for them was inspired to start designing and creating knitting patterns again.
