Stutzen

Introducing the Stutzen Shawl, a stunning triangular shawl designed with inspiration from the traditional calf gusset patterns found in classic twisted stitch stockings known as stutzen. This exquisite accessory features beautifully crafted cables made with traveling slipped stitches, all showcased against a striped garter stitch backdrop. To add to its charm, a delicate lace border flows gracefully from the intricate cable design, culminating in a charming scalloped edge that enhances its elegance.

The construction of the Stutzen Shawl begins at the center top with a versatile garter stitch tab, expertly worked outward to form a stunning edging. Eyelet increases along the center spine and outer edges of the shawl work together to create its distinct triangular shape, ensuring it drapes beautifully around your shoulders.

One of the unique aspects of this shawl pattern is that it only requires the use of one color at a time. The visual interest and texture of the pattern are skillfully created by slipping stitches of the main color over the contrasting color rows, leading to a striking effect that makes this shawl a standout piece in any wardrobe.
