This pattern is provided free for your enjoyment! I design my free patterns to enjoy the process of knitting and to give something back to the knitting community. If you like this pattern and would like to support the creation of future patterns, please consider making a very small contribution via Paypal to: PayPal.me\Viktionary
Contributions will go towards purchasing yarn for future designs and the occasional Earl Grey latte to keep the fires of creativity fueled! Regardless of whether you contribute financially or not, thank you for your support and kind words on my patterns.
This 17th century motif at first glance looks like either a jumble of symbols or a disjointed maze. The pattern becomes more discernible from further away – as with many things in life, proximity can make it harder to figure out what is really going on. Tacena is Old English for symbol or sign.
