One more "Platochek".

Today I would like to show you another "Platochek" shawl :-) Right after I have designed and knitted the original shawl, I wanted to knit one more to use up some of the leftover Rowan RYC Cashsoft 4 Ply yarn in this sunny yellow color. I absolutely love how this shawl come out and how the lace stitch looks in solid color and in slightly heavier yarn than the original shawl was. In addition, this yarn is exceptionally soft and pleasant to have on.

Project can be found on Ravelry.
Pattern for "Platochek" shawl is available on Ravelry and my blog.

Сегодня я хочу показать вам ещё одну шаль "Платочек" :-) Сразу после того как я связала первую шаль, мне захотелось связать ещё одну используя остатки пряжи Rowan RYC Cashsoft 4 Ply солнечного жёлтого цвета. Я очень довольна как получился мой новый Платочек. Мне нравиться как ажурный узор смотрится на однотонной и более толстой пряже. В дополнение, ниточка необыкновенно мягкая и приятная в носке :-)

Happy Knitting,

New Shawl Design: "Platochek".

I designed this shawl to take advantage of the beauty of variegated hand dyed yarns. These particular yarns look so beautiful in the skein, but are quite difficult to use in shawls. Lace patterns are often lost in all the colors and colors look not quite the same as in the skein. I feel, that the small lace pattern I used in this shawl is a beautiful backdrop to showcase all lovely colors variegated yarns have to offer. However, this shawl will also look lovely in any variety of yarns. The shawl only takes 1 skein of yarn, but due to non-traditional way increases are done the finished size of the shawl looks bigger then one would expect. This shawl has long edges, but shallow depth. This makes shawl very comfortable to wear, without it being too large.  This project was a very fast and enjoyable knit.

The shawl’s name “Platochek” means small kerchief or headscarf in Russian. There is a beloved Russian song “Siniy Paltocheck” ( The Blue Headscarf) made famous during WWII by Klavdia Shulzhenko

 

 “Platochek”  shawl project can be found on Ravelry.

I have used 1 skein (437 yards (400 meters) of beautiful Juno Fibre Arts Buffy Sock (100% Wool, Fingering / 4 ply).

 

The pattern is ready to test knit. If you are interested in test knitting this shawl, please let me know :))
