 -Tempietto-

Tempietto, or "little temple" in Italian, is the name of a beautiful Renaissance building in Rome designed by Donato
Bramante in 1502. It has a rounded dome, lovely columns, and is considered by some to be the epitome of
Renaissance architecture because of its balance and harmony. This pi shawl features lace patterns that resemble
arched colonnades, windows, and vaulted ceilings, which are reminiscent of the features in its namesake's design. The
gradual shift of colors from dark to light also help to bring your gaze ever upwards to the beauty all around us, if we
will but look up! The lace patterns are modi ed from stitches found in Vogue Knitting Stitchionary, vol 5, edited by
Carla Scott. I hope you enjoy knitting this pi shawl and that it brings some joy and beauty to your wardrobe.

NOTES

• The sample shown used approximately 1232 yds/1127 m total: Color A: 63 yds/58 m, Color B:
207 yds/189 m, and Color C: 962 yds/880 m.
• The shawl is worked in the round, starting in the center and gradually increasing until it reaches
its nal circumference.
• The pattern includes both written and charted instructions. You will need to be able to read charts
to knit this shawl.
• A knitted border, which serves as a decorative nish, is used to bind off the shawl. You'll begin the
border with a provisional cast on, working the chart back and forth to catch the live shawl stitches
and incorporate them into the border. Then you will nish by grafting the nal stitches to the
provisional cast on using the Kitchener Stitch.
