The poinsettia is a plant that seems to shout for attention. Leaves of vivid red and green surround clusters of tiny yellow flowers, an echo of the bright colors of the holiday season. Here is a poinsettia that you can create yourself, one that will last long after the holiday plants fade. Poinsettia can be used in many ways - to adorn a table for a seasonal look, embellish a special package, or to give as a gift in itself.

Poinsettia is a quick project, yet will challenge many knitters with patterning on every row. The bobbles and detailed lace design create interest and texture.
