Effervescent is an asymmetric triangle brioche shawlette, knit from narrow end to wide end. It features a syncopated brioche edging, and assigned pooling bubbles on the body of the shawlette.
The pattern requires two skeins of fingering weight yarn, one of which should be dyed for assigned pooling. You’ll need a 24″ circular needle for working 2-color brioche flat.
Don’t be intimidated by brioche plus pooling! Assigned pooling works well on many backgrounds such as stockinette stitch, garter stitch, and brioche rib. If you can knit brioche rib, assigned pooling is a fun way to play with it.

I thought this was interesting and wanted to show it to you in case you haven’t seen it – brioche with assigned pooling. I like the way it looks. I’ve been seeing more and more assigned pooling from different designers. Loving what you are making.
Thanks for sending the reminder about Weds. this week. I had a surprise visit from my family in WI which was wonderful. I missed both the writing and knitting group, but am looking forward to seeing you next week. Have a great weekend. And remember…..
