Float

Float is a simple right triangle shawl and the first in a series of projects using the concept of Assigned Pooling. Assigned Pooling occurs when a change in stitch and texture is assigned to changes in color within a skein of variegated yarn. In this case, simple Stockinette Stitch is assigned to the main color to create a backdrop for the cluster stitch assigned to the accent color. Imagine little flowers floating on a river or in the wind. Yarn​​ three skeins of Barker Wool BFL Fingering in the colorway Blossom. See note at end regarding color choices. Finished Measurements 70” wide x 45” deep after blocking. Needles US size 4 (3.5 mm) Gauge: 24 STS x 32 rows = 4” x 4” in Stockinette ST. Every assigned pooling project will be as unique as the yarn you choose. Use these instructions as a basic guide, and let your creativity flow with the color changes in your variegated skein. I created Assigned Pooling to provide a new way to embrace color pooling by letting the color changes have control of the texture pattern.
