A syrenka is a mermaid or water siren. The green, blue, and silver shades of this half-circle shawl remind me of the waterdrops and shimmering scales of this mythical creature.

I designed this shawl to be a fun knit, with changing colors and stitch patterns to keep you engaged but in easy-to-work stitches that won’t stress you out. You’ll start by casting on a small number of stitches, then you’ll work increase rows periodically to create the half-circle shape. To make it easy, all the increases are clustered in the increase rows, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting them as you go along.

This is a terrific pattern for playing with color. Try different shades of a single color; a rainbow sequence; self-striping yarn; wild brights; or use odds and ends of yarn for a randomized delight.

Above all else, HAVE FUN!
