The Firefly Creek crescent scarf/shawl is a fun, relaxing knit that uses assigned pooling. It’s knit tip to tip and worked in Garter stitch with a slipped edge stitch to keep thing neat, and a fun Daisy stitch to keep things interesting. The background color is done with Garter stitch, and when the contrast color appears next in your hand, work a few Daisy stitches until the color transitions to the background color.

Pattern includes a video link for the Daisy stitch.

Yarn:
This shawl is designed with Super Fine CYC 1. The sample is worked in Hypnotic Yarn Plush Sock, a lightweight sock yarn that’s soft and has a beautiful drape. Choose a yarn suitable for assigned pooling–it should be primarily two to three colors, with one of those colors being a high contrast color that uses about one-fourth or less of the skein.
