Inspiration:
This pattern is inspired by the majestic stoneworks that are beautifully adorning the Palazzo Ducale, or the Doges’ Palace in Venice. This building was the heart of the political administration of the Serenissima Republic of Venice.
I wish with this pattern to homage the ingenus inventive and skills of the many artists and creators that Venice has produced over the centuries.

This pattern has a new re-design heel, that used my very own version of the German short rows heel with no gaps showing.
