Mutze Mie

Mutze Mie, an enchanting shawl design named in fond memory of Mr. Rossi, who left us last year to join Tigger in the whimsical pursuit of hunting pink mice, showcases a delicate interplay of textures. Crafted using a stunning yarn that Mr. Rossi adored, this shawl is worked flat (sideways) with a unique construction that features increasing stitches along one edge to create an eye-catching asymmetrical triangle shape.

The design begins with beautifully patterned stitch increases, seamlessly transitioning into the smooth expanse of Stockinette stitch, and culminating in a refined 1x1 ribbing. The thoughtful incorporation of a built-in slip stitch edge adds both structure and elegance to the piece, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The gorgeous texture paired with the sporty ribbing provides a sophisticated yet relaxed look, perfect for layering and complementing a variety of outfits.

Original yarn: For this exquisite shawl, we recommend using Wooldreamers Dehesa de Barrera Fingering in colors C1: 1406, C2: 0000, and C3: 1246, which is 100% wool with a generous yardage of 448 yds/410 m per 100 g. You can also incorporate Retrosaria Vovó (C4: color 03), another 100% wool option, available at 156 yds/143 m per 50 g, to achieve the perfect color blend and texture.

Gauge: Achieving a gauge of 22 stitches x 32 rows = 4" (10 cm) in the purl-knot pattern after blocking is recommended to ensure the best results. While gauge is not critical for this project, variations may affect the overall yardage needed and the final dimensions of your beautiful shawl.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, the Mutze Mie shawl is an enjoyable project that allows for creativity and expression. Dive into your next knitting adventure with this sophisticated pattern that lovingly honors cherished memories while providing warmth and style. Perfect for gifts or adding a personal touch to your own collection!
