Bloom is a rectangular wrap featuring multiple versions of the Assigned Pooling Spool Stitch with linen stitch borders and i-cord edges.

The spool flowers progress from closed buds to fully opened flowers as the shawl grows by working variations of the stitch.

Assigned Pooling occurs when a change in stitch and texture is assigned to changes in color within a skein of variegated yarn. Stockinette Stitch is assigned to the main color to create a smooth backdrop for the Spool Stitch assigned to the accent color.
