Elizabethan Pattern - Gillyflower

Don't know if anyone is actually using these, but here is another one. It is a Gillyflower, from the late Elizabethan/early Stuart shirt held in the Warwick Museum. The original is worked in stem stitch and blanket stitch in red silk on linen ground. Feel free to use this pattern for personal use. Not for commerical or digital reproduction.
