Product Description
Nucifera is an adaptation of a small doily by the amazing Herbert Niebling, which has been modified and expanded into a chart that can be repeated to make a shawl of any size.
It also offers a variation of the original motif that can be substituted at will, or used as an edging variation (as pictured). Both charts can be worked to any size, or until the yarn runs out.
The design can be worked entirely from the written pattern, or from charts with notes.
The design suits any yardage of lace to sport weight yarn, of solid, semi solid, subtle speckle, or gradient colouring. (Choose needles to suit your yarn & gauge preference.)
The original doily had a number rather than a name, so I have named this version after the Latin word for nut-bearing, as the motif reminds me of cocoa pods, and chocolate happens to be dear to my heart. :)
It is my hope that this reworking will enable more people to enjoy Niebling’s work.
