I am not formally associated with Umbrella Joan and make no profits from sales of their frames or any affiliate links/marketing/etc. They kindly reached out to me informing me my preferred Georgia Parasol frame was being discontinued and they were starting a new line of frames (the Summerset.) I was asked if I would like to try out some free prototypes of this frame and possibly design a parasol cover exclusive to the new frame. I said yes, was sent 2 free frames, and designed this cover. I have bought from Umbrella Joan for nearly 3 years now and can vouch for their excellent quality and customer service and will continue recommending them to US buyers interested in making umbrellas and parasols.

Presently, I do not have suggestions on where to purchase an 8 rib/35” frame outside of the US. You will need to do this research, yourself, or otherwise enjoy this cover as a mandala.

I am working on a version of this design that will fit a 10 rib parasol frame, which can be purchases from the company Vena Cava in the UK. I will link to that pattern here when it is available for purchase.
