DIGITAL CROCHET PATTERN


Assigned pooling, sometimes called stitch by color, is a beginner-friendly technique in which each stitch is determined by the color of the yarn in a variegated skein. Typically, if untwisted and laid out flat, the hank will be mostly one color (or subtle shades) with streaks of an accent color about 6-10 in / 15-25 cm long. The main color in the yarn will be assigned a basic stitch pattern (e.g. double crochet), while the accent color will be assigned a fancier stitch (e.g. puff stitch). While this concept is certainly not new, it has gained popularity in recent years through the in-depth explorations of Dawn Barker and her many stunning knitting patterns that employ this method.


CONSTRUCTION

This shawl is an asymmetric triangle, beginning at one point and worked on the bias, with increases along the top edge only.


SIZES

S (M, L)


FINISHED MEASUREMENTS (approximate)

Span: 39 (56, 70) in / 97.5 (140, 175) cm

Depth: 16 (24, 32) in / 40 (60, 80) cm

Note: Finished size will depend on the proportions of colors in your skein. Longer sections of accent color will result in larger puff stitches, but less of the main color means a smaller shawl overall. Shorter accent sections will yield smaller puffs, but more main color translates to a larger shawl. The yarn used in the sample had roughly 8 in / 20 cm sections of accent color in a 48 in / 122 cm loop.
