Paleśsie
Полесье

I have called this design Palessie. Polessie is a marshy region lining the Pripyat River in Southern Belarus, Northern Ukraine, and partly in Poland and Russia. The yarn colorway reminded me of moss and marshes and Belarus and that is how the name Palessie came to mind.

Ever since I bought Pigenroof Studious Silken sock skein in Tarnished back in September of last year, I have been thinking of the shawl design to showcase this wonderful colorway and yarn. It all fell into place last week and I cannot be more happier with the finished shawl :))))))) While taking pictures today by the ocean and just walking around near the water in the evening, I was thinking to myself “ who needs a cardigan in the summer when you can wear a shawl” :))) This particular shawl wraps so lovely around the shoulders and arms. Also, the drape of the edges is just wonderful. I am so in love with this particular shawl shape. The shawl has crescent shape, simple lace pattern that changes direction from repeat to repeat and picot BO edging.
I am also completely in love with this yarn. It blocks wonderfully, drapes beautifully and the color is just spectacular. Thank you so much Krista :-))

The pattern will be available late July after test knitting is completed.

Blogged.

There is a companion cowl design to this shawl.
The cowl is made from the same wonderful Silken Sock by PRS. Thank you so much Krista :-))) The yarn and colorways are gorgeous and the drape of the yarn is superb :)
Both patterns will be available next weekend. There will be a pattern(s) giveaway at PRS group ;-))) Do not miss it ;-))

The pattern is now available as a separate pattern and also in the “Palessie” eBook together with the Palessie Cowl.

Thank you to everyone who is helping me to test knit this shawl:
