Diritto

Diritto, a beautifully crafted scarf/shawl, draws its inspiration from the enchanting family vacations we enjoyed in Italy. During our travels, we often asked locals for directions, and they would kindly respond with the phrase “sempre diritto,” meaning "always straight!" This motif is lovingly echoed in the design of this pattern, featuring rows of garter stitches that symbolize the straight roads we meandered, while delicate eyelet edging pays homage to the wonderful people who assisted us on our journey.

Let your chosen yarn shine through the simple elegance of the Diritto pattern. The design is not only visually appealing but also a cozy companion you can wear year-round. Whether you're strolling through city streets or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this versatile piece is perfect for every occasion.
