Redesigned for its fourth birthday, Mend is a simple triangle shawl and the second in a series of projects using the concept of Assigned Pooling.

Assigned Pooling occurs when a change in stitch and texture is assigned to changes in color within a skein of variegated yarn. In this case, stockinette stitch is assigned to the main color to create a backdrop for the linen stitch assigned to the accent color. The visual effect is one of woven mending across a knitted fabric.

I’ve updated the border section to carry on the linen stitch through to the bind off for a cleaner edge.
