Biscolata
Biscolata is 20% off now - no code needed, the discount will apply automatically.
The name Biscolata is inspired by two Italian words: biscotto, meaning biscuit or cookie, and latte al cioccolato, meaning milk chocolate.
The shawl is worked sideways, from one corner to the opposite edge, and is easy to adjust in size. It alternates between three stitch patterns - crochet cables, textured diamonds, and ribbing ridges - and two colors. This not only makes the cables stand out, but also makes the pattern easier to understand and follow.
