Pollen Count is a lace wrap for both those who gravitate towards funky and snuggly, or delicate and lightweight. Pollen Count is started with a few stitches and increased to form a rectangle of flower stems and leaves to a create flowers of different lengths. The lace stem section is worked to really show off the fluffy “flower top” pom-poms, it will knit up quickly and keep you warm.
This is an easy lace pattern as lace is only worked on the right side of the work and pattern is repeated several times per row (no forgetting where you left off when you pick it up again). And of course…who doesn’t love pom-poms, which could be worked in a variety of floral colors.
There will be 2 options; Wrap or Scarf, with 3 different yarn weight options. One can work until they run out of yarn to customize size. Pattern was actually written for acrylic yarn, so aggressive blocking is not necessary.
