Foresta
Inspired by on of my favorite neopolitan chocolate, Foresta.
Transport yourself to the chocolate world, seduce yourself by the flavour and taste.
The stitches pattern in this beautiful triangular shawl evokes the bars of chocolate and the gentle waves of the Foresta chocolate.
It’s knit from tip to tip, with one half of the shawl done in a wavy stitch pattern, and the other half in fantasy stitch.
Foresta is extra cozy when knit in pure alpaca yarn.
Please note: the stitch patterns in this garment are written row by row and are charted
