Hi Folks!

Thanks for checking out the Convex shawl! Completely adjustable in length, this adaptable shawl is knit while holding two strands of fingering-weight yarn together. A stretchy mock-i-cord edge is used in combination with an i-cord bind-off to add a clean border to the piece, and increases that are dispersed throughout the body of the shawl are completely hidden on the reverse-stockinette side of the garment. Although two-sided, I personally believe that the wrong-side looks a little better due to this small detail. This is a great pattern for a personalized fade, but it also looks great in solid, tonal, variegated, and even ombré yarns.

Although the pattern includes tabulated instructions that allow knitters to uniformly distribute increases throughout the shawl, you may also choose to randomize where these increases occur. This gives you the option of having a more mindless, tv-knitting experience.

Please note that due to the simplicity of this pattern, it has not been formally edited by a technical editor at this time.
