Mirit

Introducing Mirit: a beautifully crafted companion piece to the popular Leventry shawl. Mirit is a smaller yet equally stunning shawl that showcases a harmonious blend of texture and lace, perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills. This exquisite shawl is worked from the top down, starting with a stylish garter tab. The design begins with a captivating section of alternated garter and stockinette stripes, which then elegantly transitions into a lace band featuring a delightful combination of eyelets and ribbing. The finishing touch includes an elegant picot bind-off, adding a sophisticated flair to your completed work.

To successfully knit the Mirit shawl, it's essential that you are familiar with a variety of knitting techniques. You'll need to know how to perform a provisional cast-on and pick up stitches from a garter edge to create the garter tab. Additionally, you'll be required to knit and purl while working flat, execute directional increases (m1L and m1R), and interpret lace stitches from either a chart or written directions. Basic decreases, such as k2tog, ssk, and sk2p, are necessary skills for this project, along with the cable cast-on method for the elegant picot bind-off that completes this lovely accessory.

For this knitting project, you will require approximately 300 yards (274.5 meters) of each of two different colors of fingering weight yarn, allowing for a beautiful contrast or complement in your design. In addition, gather four stitch markers and a yarn needle to assist you in completing the pattern seamlessly. The intricate lace section of Mirit is thoughtfully provided in both written and charted formats, catering to different preferences in pattern reading.

Rest assured that this Mirit shawl pattern has undergone thorough test knitting and professional tech editing to ensure accuracy and clarity, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all levels.
