Description

Mayra - Christmas shawl 2023

The Mayra shawl is made up of 66 individual shells knitted in garter stitch, which are worked one after the other - one shell after the next. The individual shells can be knitted with two different qualities in the same, a similar or two different colors. It is also possible to do without the second quality and only use different colors without mohair.
With a length of approx. 250 cm, the shawl is very large - due to its shallow depth and low weight, it is nevertheless fluffy and light, making it a cozy favorite companion.

    The shawl turned out really great! I knitted it from Cashmere lace Bio with needle 4.5. I needed about 7 balls. I also made cuffs from the rest. Cashmere is so fluffy, light and incredibly warm! I love love love cashmere, it costs money but I absolutely don't regret it, love is blind💕!

    I'm currently knitting the shawl and I have to say it's really fun and doesn't get boring. The little shells make it easy to make progress and the description is easy to understand. Simply great. LG Doris

    I am currently knitting the shawl in the nutmeg version.
    I could also imagine knitting the blue one. Would it also work in two shades of Premia? This variant is apparently not planned.

      Dear Catharina,
      A variant made only from mohair works just as well. However, as we have not tested such a variant, it is not included in the pattern and therefore there is no kit for it. But we'll take your suggestion on board and have a look at it.
      If you want to knit a pure mohair version, it's best to add the pattern separately to your shopping cart and three balls each of Premia from Lamana in two colors of your choice.
      Best regards
      Louisa

    Are the pattern also available separately, i.e. without yarn?
