Rembrandt’s Rug is a pattern from my second book, Gallery. This book is based on iconic paintings by the greatest masters of time, including Rembrandt van Rijn’s Nights Watch - which this pattern is based on. The book is retiring soon; therefore, the patterns are also available individually as a download.

Some general information about Rembrandt’s Rug:
