Palazzo Ducale

This exquisite knitting pattern draws inspiration from the majestic stonework adorning the Palazzo Ducale, also known as the Doges’ Palace, in the enchanting city of Venice. This iconic architectural masterpiece was once the heart of the political administration for the illustrious Serenissima Republic of Venice. With this unique pattern, I aim to pay homage to the ingenious creativity and exceptional skills of the many remarkable artists and artisans that Venice has produced throughout its rich history.

The re-design of this pattern features an innovative heel that showcases my very own approach to the German short rows heel technique, resulting in a design that seamlessly eliminates any visible gaps. This thoughtful technique not only enhances the aesthetics of your finished project but also ensures a comfortable fit. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern invites you to explore the beauty of Venetian artistry while honing your knitting skills.

Join me in celebrating the timeless elegance of Venetian heritage as you create a piece that reflects the beauty of both tradition and innovation. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to add a touch of historical grandeur to their collection, while also embracing contemporary knitting techniques.
