The Dara Knot was often used in post-Roman British and Irish manuscripts and stonework to symbolize strength, wisdom, and family. It makes a stunning wall hanging, framed crochet art, or tablecloth for a plant stand or side table.

One pattern repeat using a 1.25 mm hook and size 10 crochet thread (aka bedspread weight thread) is 12” tall x 10 1/2” wide.
