Grow is a simple triangle bandana knit with built-in flower stitches made by using the innovative technique of Assigned Pooling.

Assigned Pooling occurs when a change in stitch and texture is assigned to changes in color within a quarter-dyed skein of variegated yarn.

Grow pairs dainty aster stitches with simple stockinette stitch to make a stylish lightweight accessory knit from the bottom up. It’s knit flat with just one skein of variegated fingering weight yarn engineered to work with assigned pooling.

Grow could easily keep growing into a full-size shawl by adding additional skeins.

Yarn​​
1 skein of Winter Field on Barker Wool BFL, or approximately 70g of fingering weight yarn dyed for use with assigned pooling.

Barker Wool Silky Solo, Silky Quatro, or Solo would also be great options.
