Miran oscillates between a harmonious classic style and relaxed lightness. The airy shawl by designer Xiaowei Bourdet looks just as impressively worn as an elegant stole with a festive dress as it does as a light, generous scarf with a minimalist outfit. Let yourself be grounded as you knit the gorgeous geometric lace pattern and get into flow as you create the clear, almost hypnotic lines on your needles. It's the perfect mix of concentration and relaxation, allowing you to enjoy the softness of our Cheeky Merino Joy to the fullest.

Miran has a rectangular shape and is knitted flat from one narrow end to the other. The beginning and end of the shawl are worked in garter stitch, while you can follow the charts or the written instructions for the different lace sections. The Distitch Selvedge by Assia Brill gives the shawl an exceptionally refined finish along the long edges.

The finished shawl is approx. 150 cm (59 in) long and 43 cm (17 in) wide after blocking.

Miran is a design from our 2023 collection. In these turbulent times, there is much cause for reflection. And especially the desire for serenity and calm, for light-heartedness and peace. We have therefore named the designs in this collection after this longing, in different languages. Miran is Croatian and means peaceful.
