OH! What a Night! -- a “poinsettia” shawlette or neckerchief -- is a wonderfully creative and satisfying project with a lovely result.

Working up quickly, first in the round and then knit flat, it looks far more complicated than it is to make. The selected yarn’s exotic fibers are showcased to their best effect here, and no two of these beautiful wraps will appear identical …

Design inspiration from vintage (early-1800s era) eight-pointed star “poinsettia” counterpanes contributes to the feeling of festive and fun-spirited sophistication, with step-by-step instructions provided to ensure a great knitting experience.

This piece is reversible, so its styling options are many, and such versatility bridges the seasons well. Since the pattern requires just one skein of yarn, you can afford to knit more than one!

Note Regarding Needles: Two sets of needles of the same size are used; one is circular, and the other is double-pointed.
