Nodo D’Amore - Knit Pattern Only

DESCRIPTION
This pattern was inspired by the love locks that hang on the Ponte Milvio bridge in Roma, Italy. The first movie I saw with my now husband was Tre Metri Sopra il Cielo. The lead couple fall in love and as a symbol of that love they go to the Ponte Milvio in Roma and put a lock on it with their initials and throw the key into the Tevere River. Years after we met, I did just that with my husband and this beanie with all the little love knots or locks was inspired by that moment. This warm bulky hat uses the knot stitch to form a simple yet sophisticated design.
