Mokita
Mokita, which translates to "the truth that everybody knows but no one talks about," beautifully encapsulates the idea of mental illness—a topic that is often shrouded in stigma. This thoughtfully designed shawl aims to combat that stigma while simultaneously raising vital funds for the mental health charity Mind. With every cent from the sale price donated to support mental health initiatives, your purchase not only brings comfort to you but also hope to others in need.
Experience the bliss of wrapping yourself in our luxurious silk and mohair shawl, crafted with care and compassion. This versatile piece is designed for adaptability with options to use either lace-weight or aran yarn, allowing you to choose your perfect texture and warmth. You can also select between a cozy garter stitch or trendy crochet borders—consider using a contrast yarn for an eye-catching effect! If you want to add a touch of sparkle, you can incorporate beads for extra glamour (and a detailed tutorial is included). For those seeking a refined look, try using a smooth silk yarn for the border to create stunning definition that elevates your shawl.
The aran version of this Mokita shawl requires three skeins of the recommended yarn along with a contrast yarn for the crochet border. When completed, it measures an impressive 72 x 30 inches, making it the perfect accessory to keep warm during chilly evenings or as a stylish wrap for casual outings.
For those preferring a lighter option, the lace-weight version utilizes four balls of yarn and has a more delicate silhouette, measuring 65 x 23 inches. This size is ideal for draping elegantly over your shoulders or using as a stylish scarf, offering a touch of warmth without being too heavy.
No matter which version you choose, wearing the Mokita shawl is more than just a fashion statement; it's a bold declaration of support for mental health awareness. Join us in fighting the stigma surrounding mental illness while indulging in a beautiful handcrafted accessory that symbolizes hope and healing.
