Note: Swatching for the Assigned Pooling technique is critical to know ahead of time how many wraps will be needed for the floret cluster stitch. You will be able to unravel and reuse the swatch yarn before starting the project.

Assigned Pooling is a textural technique that forms little floret clusters at the color change. It was developed by Dawn Barker of Barker Wool. Be sure to check out her lovely patterns and colorways!
