Diritto is inspired from family vacations in Italy. Our frequent request for directions from friendly locals always prompted the response “sempre diritto,” meaning always straight! Rows of garter stitches speak loud and proud in this scarf/shawl to represent the roads we travelled, with eyelet edging depicting the wonderful people who helped us along our journey.

Let your beautiful yarn choice shine in the simple elegance of this pattern.
