The La Duca Kick is a simple stockinette shawl which is knit sideways, growing in width from a 2-stitch cast on to a wide, flirty kick pleat ruffle at the opposite end. It’s finished off with a contrasting i-cord border.

Inspired by a visit to the La Duca Shoe Shop in New York City which supplies footwear to the Radio City Hall Rockettes, Broadway performers, and dancers of all ages, this little shawl is fun and pretty and is sure to put a little kick in your step.
