Little Buds is a reversible, assigned pooling design ideal for semi-solid or tonal yarns with a small section of high contrast color. With this type of design, you assign one stitch to the main color and a different stitch to the contrast color. This design assigns garter stitch to the the main color and “bud” stitch to the contrast color to create a cute little scarf with random pops of color. Little Buds is knit diagonally, and the size is adjustable. The look of your scarf will depend on the yarn you use. Sample scarf knit knit with Wollmeise Pure in AP Miriel. Enjoy!
