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