Assigned Pooling

Discover the magic of assigned pooling yarn! This colourway uses the same cluster stitch as Pumpkin Patch, so the same tutorial video walks you through how to knit the mushroom motif.

Important: this is a directional yarn. Start from the end where the white section comes first, or the motif will not form as intended.

A note for sweater projects: if you are planning a yoked sweater, knit it bottom up. Worked top down, the mushrooms will come out upside down.
