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. All the colorwork is done using the slip-stitch technique, so you will be handling only one strand at the time. The stitch pattern for Maan is written out and charted, the mosaic colorwork is charted only. **SIZE** Approx 225 cm / 88.5” wingspan along the top edge and 70 cm / 27.5” deep. **YARN** DK weight yarn. MC approx 750 m / 820 yards. CC1 approx 500 m / 550 yards. CC2 approx 375 m / 410 yards. Sample shown in Schoppel-Wolle Leinen Los. **DIFFICULTY** Maan uses some intricate techniques and stitches, which are all carefully explained in the pattern, but please keep in mind this is not a mindless tv-knit!
