Each design in this collection pays homage to the architectural marvels that grace the waterways of Venice, and the Ca’ Loredan Palace is no exception. This splendid 13th-century building, located near the iconic Rialto Bridge, is not only a feast for the eyes but also holds historical significance as the former residence of Elena Piscopia Cornaro, the first woman in the world to earn a doctorate degree from a university. The Ca’ Loredan Socks feature a beautiful stranded colorwork pattern that employs three colors at a time, making it an ideal choice for knitters looking to expand their skills and delve into vibrant color combinations.

This combination of modern and historical techniques provides an enriching knitting experience while ensuring comfort and style in every stitch. With detailed instructions and helpful tips, this pattern is suitable for knitters of various skill levels.
