Sproutlet is a simple triangle bandana knit with loads of texture 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.  Sproutlet pairs sprout 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.  Sproutlet could easily be extended into a full-size shawl by adding additional skeins. 

Yarn​​ 1 skein of Wayfinder on Barker Wool BFL Fingering, or approximately 75g of fingering weight yarn dyed for use with assigned pooling.  Barker Wool Silky Solo, Silky Quatro, or Solo would also be great options.
