Minamo Shawl

— A half circular lace shawl with a translucent, water-like shimmer.

Minamo is a Japanese word meaning “the surface of water,” referring to the quiet shimmer of light reflected on water.

Soft, airy and lightweight, it drapes naturally at the shoulders—appropriate for everyday wear and special occasions.


Yarn: ITORICOT Kid Mohair “FLUORITE”.

Finished size: approx. 60 cm radius, measured along the fan-shaped edge

Techniques: center-out circular net lace, blocking for drape.

Designer note: Collaboration with ITORICOT (Asakusabashi, Tokyo). Originally released as an Itoma! 2025 kit; pattern now sold separately.
