Convergency is built from striped wedges using German short rows, and finished off with a wide texture and lace knitted-on edging. This pattern can be resized by adding or subtracting wedges, or by editing the width of the border. The version shown uses 6 wedges and the widest border. The pattern contains full written instructions for striped upper and knitted-on border. In addition, the border is also fully charted.

If you have purchased the Convergency Special Edition, this single pattern is free. The two patterns are bundled at the price of $7.50. Enjoy!


About the subscription:
These two patterns are stand-alone versions of the second pattern of the shawl book portion of my new eBook subscription (with patterns to be delivered over the course of the subscription)! This subscription has two parts: the shawl booklet and the workbook. This pattern is in the shawl book ONLY. It does not include technique instructions or the small projects and miniature shawls. You can purchase a bundle of the shawl eBook and the workbook for the reduced price of $34.


eBook buying options:

Purchase 7 reSizable Shawls AND the Workbook for $34.00 buy now


Each shawl appearing in the shawl eBook is written to be resizable, and has a corresponding section in the workbook. The workbook itself presents techniques and construction used in each shawl (but does not include the full size shawl instructions), as well as a small practice project and a miniature shawl. Each eBook is available as a stand-alone or you can purchase the two together as a bundle. To be clear: the shawl eBook will have 7 resizable shawl patterns; the workbook will have the techniques used in the shawl eBook plus 14 small patterns (one accessory + a miniature doll-sized shawl that corresponds to each of the large shawls in the sister eBook). Either book can be used without the other.

About my project:
Back in 2010, I began an eBook series: 7 Small Shawls. At the time, I didn’t realize it was a series, but it turned out to be! In 2016, the 5th year of 7 Small Shawls wrapped up, and I wanted to try something different. At first, I thought I might do alternating years of oddments knitting (like my Great Oddments Knitdown book!) and small shawls. But since first designing my small shawls, I’ve begun teaching more, and I’ve learned a LOT from my classes. I hope those who have been in my classes have learned even half of what I did! For that, thank you, my students!

When I first started teaching, I wasn’t sure I would have the patience, but I wanted to meet you all! By now, I am really loving it. The biggest thing I’ve learned? There are soooooo many kinds of knitters. And even if I tried, I could never make you all happy. So that threw me off for awhile as I tried to come up with where I wanted to go from here. But I kept coming back to one thing; the most asked question!

And it is…”how can I resize this shawl!?”

That question kept coming back to me. I do write quite a few resizable shawl patterns, but as I stood there in class going through each one of the patterns in the five years of eBooks, my path became clear. The idea for 7 reSizable Shawls was born! And that means you will be able to resize each pattern in the new 7 reSizable Shawl eBook to your heart’s content! Have twice the yardage? No problem! Want to use another weight of yarn? Sure!

But I also knew I wanted to give people the option for more instruction on the techniques used in my shawls, and maybe a small project to try first. That would make for a pretty lengthy eBook if it were all together, so I decided to split them! Enter the 7 reSizable Shawls Workbook! If you’re completely happy just having the resizable shawls eBook, you can purchase only that. If you like playing with different techniques, the workbook is for you! Each shawl from the main eBook will have a corresponding small pattern in the workbook, along with a miniature shawl to knit up for practice! You could even use the miniature shawls for your doll collection, if you are inclined. The 7 reSizable Shawls eBook and workbook will each be sold separately, or you buy them as a discounted bundle!

The subscription period for the eBooks will run from February 1, 2017 to October 31, 2018 (delayed). There’s going to be a lot of great technique to work through! Each of the projects will have a knit-along in my Ravelry forum. I’m SO excited to share this project with you and I hope you will LOVE it!

Note that purchasing the eBook represents a significant discount over purchasing each pattern separately. No refunds can be given for buying the patterns separately and then, at a later date, purchasing the complete eBook. If you have made a single pattern purchase in error and wished to purchase the book instead, please contact me within a week to resolve the issue. Thank you!
