MAAN

Maan is not for the faint at heart. She is not a flimsy, barely there layering piece, but a wrap with a lot of character, presence, and substance. She stands out in the crowd and will add something extra to any outfit while keeping you warm and cozy. She is an eye-catcher, but also your shield.

Knitting this wrap is a treat for the adventurous intermediate to experienced knitter. Because of the variety of stitch patterns and techniques, there’s no room for boredom and there’s just enough repetition to get a sense of rhythm and structure.

CONSTRUCTION

Maan is a large triangle shawl worked top-down, starting with a classic garter tab. It uses intricate techniques and stitches, which are all carefully explained. All the colorwork is done using the slip-stitch technique, so you will be handling only one strand at the time.
