Beautiful yarns and a simple drop stitch pattern make for a elegant, warm and snugly wrap. Only one yarn used per row, so no tangles or carried stitches. With the exception of the drop stitch row, all rows of the shawl are worked in stocking stitch, so it knits up quickly too!

Finish with a plain and elegant garter stitch edging or add gentle ruffles for a touch more airyness!

This pattern is a reworking of my Piazza Scarf design released in 2010.

The original pattern used a silk bouclé yarn which has been discontinued. The reworked Piazza Revisited 2015 pattern uses new yarns, includes photo tutorials and a new edging treatment.

I have contacted all the original purchasers of the 2010 pattern and offered them a free copy of the update. If you purchased the original pattern, for some reason missed out on the email and would like a copy of the 2015 rework, please PM with your email details and I will send you a copy of the PDF at no additional charge.

Oh, and if you have purchased Piazza Revisited - 2015 and would like a copy of the original bouclé yarn version, please PM for a free copy. There are substitute bouclé yarns out there which can be fun to knit with occasionally (and I have suggested them on the pattern web page), but they are getting difficult to find!
