The Monte Camino shawl is a top-down triangle shawl with 6 stitches increased every 2 rows and is a nod to my Nonna and all the women who embrace their traditions and remind us of our ancestral heritage and connection to the land. The stitches and style of the Monte Camino are inspired by the women in my father’s southern Italian village in the region of Campania and my memories of their shawls draped over their shoulders and the movement of the fringes as they partook in annual processions towards La Capella.
