The Inspiration Behind the MIRA Scarf

 

The MIRA scarf is a true labour of love: designed by @letitbeknit, it bears the name of a loyal furry friend who recently took her final journey and will always hold a place in the heart. The name MIRA not only stands for "wonder" but also belongs to a shining star in the night sky. With its subtle shimmer from delicate sequins, it evokes a sparkling starlit sky or a distant galaxy. Thanks to the unparalleled softness of luxurious suri alpaca fibres and the memories of peaceful knitting moments MIRA is a project to lose yourself in – and a companion to hold dear.

 

 

What you’ll need

 

  • 3 balls of SURI ALPACA
  • 3 balls of PAILLETTES
  • 6 mm knitting needles
  • A tapestry needle for sewing in the ends
  • The simple pattern you can find right here on our blog ⬇️

 

 

MIRA Scarf Knitting Instructions

 

Cast on 24 stitches with 6 mm needles, holding both yarns together.

k2, *k1, s1 purlwise with a yo*, repeat from * to * until 2 stitches remain on the left needle, slip the last 2 stitches purlwise with yarn in front.

The scarf is knitted in brioche stitch. Repeat the following row until the scarf measures 180 cm or your desired length:

  • k2, *k1 brioche stitch (= 1 knit stitch and its yarn over from the previous row), s1 purlwise with a yo*, repeat from * to * until 2 stitches remain on the left needle, slip the last 2 stitches purlwise with yarn in front.

Bind off all stitches loosely (Note: knit stitch + yarn over from the previous row count as 1 stitch.) and weave in the ends carefully.
