LA DEA FORTUNA - DOUBLE SIDED COWL KNITTING PATTERN
The La Dea Fortuna cowl knitting pattern is inspired by two captivating octogram (8-point star) motifs, elegantly playing with two complementary shades. The octogram motif boasts a rich history that dates back centuries; its precise origins remain a mystery, with theories suggesting it could be derived from ancient Roman designs or even Middle Eastern art. As an admirer of this striking geometrical shape, I often find its symmetry and elegance captivating.
This creativity sparked during a recent visit to my hometown in early January. I took some time to enjoy a film by Ferzan Özpetek, a Turkish-Italian director whose work I deeply appreciate. During the screening, I was mesmerized by the beautiful blue kitchen tiles featuring the 8-point star pattern, which instantly inspired me to incorporate the octogram into my next knitting project. Thus, the idea for this unique design materialized! As you may have guessed, the film was titled ‘La Dea Fortuna,’ perfectly aligning with my vision for this exquisite cowl.
This versatile double-sided cowl not only showcases intricate designs but also allows knitters to experiment with color combinations and textures. Suitable for various skill levels, the La Dea Fortuna cowl is a delightful project to enhance your knitting repertoire, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. Dive into the world of geometric knitting and create a stunning accessory that captures attention and sparks conversations!
