The old gardens of the Italian town of Tivoli are filled with water reservoirs, small waterfalls and canals, surrounded by beautiful old buildings and trees. Trees and foliage spill wildly over the old brick walls, colonnades and roofs. Leaves sway in the warm breeze. This sweater is inspired by the foliage and filled with leaf-inspired lace patterns. The sweater is knitted on 6 mm needles with one thread of Saga hold and one thread of Tilia, making it light and airy.
