This pattern was designed as an entry to the Glasgow School of Yarn design competition. The brief was to design and make something inspired by the life or works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. My entry was highly commended.

Information about the design process of this pattern is on my blog:

This pattern has been test knitted.

ERRATA: Ignore stitch column 58 on the Right 2 chart and stitch column 8 on the Left 2 chart to omit 1 extra purl stitch each row from rows 56 to 64. (Fixed 06.03.15 Version 2 of pattern)
