Introducing the Rupi Summer Shawl, a light and elegant accessory perfect for sunny days! This beautifully designed shawl features a captivating and easy-to-remember ‘Hearts of Oak’ pattern in the bottom section, making it an ideal project for knitters looking to expand their skills while creating a stunning piece. The triangle shaping of this shawl is expertly achieved by using short rows in garter stitch for the top half, allowing for both style and comfort.

Final measurements: The Rupi Shawl has a generous wingspan of 54.5 inches (138.5 cm) and a depth of 14.5 inches (37 cm), making it the perfect size to drape around your shoulders or wear as a chic wrap.

Needle Size: For this pattern, use 3 mm (US size 2-3) circular needles or another size that helps you achieve the specified gauge for optimal results.

Yarn: The shawl requires 3 balls of Holst Garn Coast yarn, a delightful fingering weight blend composed of 55% Lambswool and 45% Cotton. Each 50g ball offers an impressive 350 meters (383 yards). Recommended shade: Dove, which adds an elegant touch to your project.

Notions: Don’t forget to have a tapestry needle on hand for weaving in those ends and finishing touches!

Gauge (after blocking): To ensure your final piece matches the intended design, the gauge in the Hearts of Oak pattern is 35 stitches and 40 rows = 4 inches (10 cm). In garter stitch, the gauge measures 24 stitches and 52 rows = 4 inches (10 cm). Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for a perfectly-shaped shawl.
