Mars is part of The Planets Collection - shawl patterns inspired by the orchestral suite by Gustav Holst. The lace pattern was designed by Naomi Parkhurst using her system of encoding words into numbers, in this case the word Mars. A bold mosaic pattern contrasts with the large lace panels. The sample was knit with Pendragon DK from Avalon Springs Farm in colorways that evoke landscapes of Mars.
