Convex
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.
Like this pattern? Feel free to check out the Convex Cowl If you buy both (or have already bought one), you’ll automatically get $2 off at checkout. No discount code needed.
Here’s a quick summary of the pattern based on the original sample:

--Width: 64 in (163 cm) along top edge
--Depth: 21 in (53 cm) at deepest point

--The original sample was knit with ~1200 yards of fingering-weight yarn (three 400-yard skeins)
Needles:
--3.5 mm (US 4) needles
Gauge:
--18 sts by 33 rows = 4 in by 4 in (10 cm by 10 cm) in stockinette after blocking
Other Materials:
--stitch markers (optional)
--tapestry needle to weave in ends
I’d also like to extend a huge thank you to Deborah from Yarn Indulgences for testing the pattern. Check out her website for some 3-skein kits that would make great shawls!
Please note that due to the simplicity of this pattern, it has not been formally edited by a technical editor at this time.
Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Reach out! I’ll do my best to respond back as quickly as I can. If I don’t get back to you right away, please forgive me! I probably have my nose buried in a book for grad school.
