Bardolino is a nice and beautiful little city on east part of Lake Garda in Northern Italy; you can walk bordering the lake sinking your feet in the green grass and enjoying the sound of the blue waves.

The Bardolino Promenade is an asymmetric triangular shawl worked flat from the tip to the bottom edge. The stockinette-lace combination makes it a modern accessory.
The shawl construction, thanks to the simple lace repeat, will allow you to customize the size, to play with colors and will be perfect as stash buster! Choose two colors and design your own shawl!
