Best known for its prickly foliage and vibrant flowers, the Thistle is the national symbol of Scotland and plays an important role in legend and folklore. It stands for bravery, luck and strength there, while the French would plant thistles to protect themselves from witchcraft. To the Victorians, giving a thistle was meant as a warning against intrusion. Whatever the occasion, you can be sure that this crochet version is much more cuddly than its floral counterpart, and it will remain bright and beautiful throughout the seasons.
