Hip Stripes Shawl

**New Summer Patterns Bundle! If you get the [Hipster Top][1] + the Hip Stripes Shawl, you'll get them both 30% off! That is both patterns for $9.10** This shawl is a fusion of two of my most cherished patterns: Pure Joy and Hipster shawls. It has an irregular crescent shape, with striped wedges separated by delicate bands of cross-stitch lace (you can find a video tutorial to the Hipster stitch pattern [here][2]). This shawl is worked from the top-down, using short rows to create wedges that give the shawl an off-centered look. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Wingspan: 74½" [186 cm]. Depth at deepest point: 16" [40 cm]. **MATERIALS** Yarn: 7 skeins of Kupa by Myak (50% Yak / 50% Cotton; 127 yards [116 m] / 25g), or 790 yards (730 m)] of fingering weight yarn in 2 different colors: 4 skeins or 460 yards [420 m] in color 1 (shown in color Samana, light gray) and 3 skeins or 330 yards [310 m] in color 2 (shown in color Avalokita, dark gray). Needles: US 5 [3.75 mm] needles, at least 40" [100 cm] long. Other notions: Stitch markers, tapestry needle, blocking aids. *Tips for substituting The yarn I used in the pattern comes in small 25g skeins, than can easily be substituted with any other fingering weight yarn. If you use 1 skein for color 1, make sure you have the actual required yardage, which is larger than a regular skein of fingering weight.* **GAUGE** 18 sts and 40 rows to 4" [10 cm] in garter st on US 5 [3.75 mm] needles after blocking and stretching. Before measuring, make sure your swatch goes through the same blocking and pinning process as your shawl will.
