Lucca is inspired by the cerebral aspects of Florence that make the city sublime. Lucca’s subtle form is enhanced with panels of directional texture that are measured and mathematical. The result is an airy, rather delicate fabric, clean, quiet and cultivated. Classic herringbone is suggested in this rhythmic twisted stitch pattern. It is graceful in appearance and absolutely addictive to knit!
Lucca is the simplest of shapes, a classic square, and uses drop shoulder shaping so as not to disrupt the flow of pattern.
Though it is pictured here in a cropped length, the length of Lucca is easily customized!
