Palakhya (beet in Sanskrit) gets its name from the lovely colourway of the upcycled Vardhman Millenium yarn in my stash. The previous version was used with a lot of love. But a lack of yarn, being stuck at a non-stash location during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, and a desperate need to design during that time brought about this design.
The simple elegant design of this vest plays on the kind of yarn used to bring about various effects, and is equally fun for a kid to wear whether made in a variegated, speckled or solid yarn.
