Product Description
Miramis is an adaptable crescent shaped shawl. It’s elegant textured body of cable lines over reverse stockinette flows into the lace in a series of arches, and both the body and lace sections of the shawl can be worked to any size, making it very easy to customise size.
The adaptability of the pattern creates flexibility as to yardage, as the shawl can be worked in 400 - 1000m or more of lace to DK weight yarn, or solid, semi-solid, gradient, or perhaps a subtle speckled yarn. The lace stitch pattern was created by Naomi Parkhurst. Translations thanks to Sabine of Schafgabe, and Angele of Madlaine Yarn.
The size of the shawl is adaptable, both the texture body and the lace sections can be worked to any size.
Suits lace to fingering weight yarn in any yardage between approx 400m and 1000m (440-1100y).
The design can be worked entirely from the written pattern, or from charts with some notes. I’ve noted the gauge of the sample shawl, but it isn’t critical for this project.
Miramis Crescent Shawl by Nim Teasdale
What is Being Made
Miramis is an elegant, adaptable crescent-shaped shawl designed by Nim Teasdale. This intermediate-level knitting project features a sophisticated construction combining textured cable work with delicate lace sections, making it suitable for knitters with some experience who want to create a refined accessory.
Design and Construction
The shawl showcases a thoughtfully balanced design where cable lines worked in reverse stockinette flow seamlessly into lace sections arranged in a series of arches. Both the textured body and lace portions can be worked to any desired size, providing exceptional customization options for the finished piece.
Adaptability and Yardage
One of the defining features of Miramis is its remarkable flexibility. The pattern accommodates yardage requirements ranging from approximately 400 meters to 1000 meters or more of lace to fingering weight yarn. This wide range means knitters can choose their preferred yarn weight and adjust the shawl's dimensions accordingly, whether working with delicate lace-weight or slightly heavier DK-weight yarns.
Stitches and Techniques
- Cable stitches – form the textured body lines of the shawl
- Reverse stockinette stitch – provides contrast and background for the cable work
- Lace stitches – created by Naomi Parkhurst, these form the arched sections that transition from the cable body
- Blocking – essential for finishing and shaping the crescent form
Yarn and Materials
Miramis works beautifully with lace to fingering weight yarns in a variety of colorways. The pattern is equally suited to solid, semi-solid, gradient, low-contrast variegated, or subtly speckled yarns, allowing knitters to showcase their preferred yarn characteristics. The pictured sample used a single skein of The Fibre Co Meadow in Prairie (500m/550y), demonstrating how a single skein can create a finished shawl when worked in appropriate yardage.
Needles and Gauge
Needle size and gauge will vary depending on the yarn weight selected. The pictured shawl was knitted on 3.5mm (US size 4) needles and measures 195 x 49 centimeters (77 x 19 inches) after blocking, providing a generous crescent that works well as both a decorative accessory and a practical wrap.
