Disperse

Assigned pooling, or stitch by color, is a beginner-friendly technique in which each stitch is determined by the color of the yarn in a variegated skein. Typically, the yarn will be mostly one color with streaks of an accent color. The main color in the yarn will be assigned a basic stitch pattern (e.g. double crochet), while the accent color will be assigned a fancier stitch (e.g. puff stitch). While this concept is certainly not new, it has gained popularity in recent years through the in-depth explorations of Dawn Barker and her many stunning knitting patterns that employ this method.
