The graph aspect on math girl calculator ( on right) is helpful but white yarn gets lost and hard to count, instead, chart your white as light grey or etc. The single crochet grid is called stacked and shows as stacked but in reality is not, making it hard to count. I found using a numbered stitc marker ( I used pencil) helped, but still, for some ( me!) Hard to keep track 9f Direction. Using the Focus Row helps. A bummer that have to sit in front 9f computer in order to use the ap,,not smartphone friendly. And, I'm out of printer ink. Taking a pic and using gallery to pull image back up and zoom in on still all a pita. I wish that as well as the directional arrows on the pattern graph, an additional pattern constantly reading left to right would be offered, line by line, with ability of a sliding marker highlighting where you are,,I get lost,,so lost...

I’m trying to get an argyle pattern but I feel like it’s not looking right and I’m scared I might have to restart.. I tried different stitches and different hooks and settled on the moss stitch with 2,5 mm hook. I used the planned pooling website to figure out how wide I should go but I feel like it looks off somehow, what do you guys think? I absolutely love this yarn and want to make a scarf with it.

Wanting to make an argyle blanket. This is my first planned pooling project so something set up for easy pooling (like RHSS pooling yarn) would be ideal. I’d be willing to put in the work if such a thing weren’t available.

Hobbii 8/4 seems do-able but doesn’t look great from the single picture I saw on the website, and there’s a few threads in here that say not to bother. Hobbii also has a yarn called “acacia” that will argyle but everyone used grannies, and I hate grannies lol. Would much rather moss.

I mean for real? How do you look away look enough to actually work on it and finish these kinds of pieces of magic? I CANT STOP LOOKING AT IT!

Thinking of making a scarf but I would rather crochet right now and don't know if the ridges would effect the way it looks

I absolutely love the neon stripes colors but don't care for the granny stitch. I just found this video & wanted to share... https://youtu.be/YAoatW-yiTY?si=VUJLtygR2celQ15Q

This is my first (technically second but with the same skein since I wanted it bigger) success and it's WORKING! The yarn is Red Heart Super Saver in the colorway Mistletoe worked over 100 total stitches in moss stitch. I tried with a different yarn a while back and gave up after a while but I think the issue was my hook size there. I'm so excited it's working!

Completely unintentional, but it'll make a nice beanie! Obviously it's not perfect but it looks pretty nice :)

Whilst using the moss stitch and using this website https://plannedpooling.com/#%7B%22nColors%22:2,%22colorChoices%22:%5B%22%23BF5FFF%22,%22%232A1DDE%22%5D,%22numStitchesChoices%22:%5B4,9%5D,%22unitsWide%22:51,%22type%22:%22flat%22%7D am I meant to count the chain one spaces as a stitch or ignore them and only count the sc spaces as stitches, I’ve heard to do both and I’m lost

Hi everyone! I’m a self-taught crocheter and have been crocheting for nearly 4.5 years now

I’ve recently become familiar with the planned pooling concept and would like to start my first project

I’ve done my fair share of research when it comes to what yarn would and wouldn’t work with this but I’m still skeptical if this particular kind would work or not

Any and all help is appreciated as I do not live in the US so my local options are quite different than those I’ve seen

TIA!

I thought about trying to go for pooling but I sized down on my hook to make extra dense fabric for the project I’m making so I figured it wouldn’t really be possible. Still make a cool pattern regardless tho.

It’s a Single Crochet stitch on the rim of a beanie. WIP obviously

Hey all, my partner loves a good wool maxi skirt more than anything, and I found this beautiful pattern I'd love to try to make for them! I'm curious if it would be possible to make this argyle with planned pooling. All the sites I've seen show diagonal stripes for working in the round, so I'm guessing I'll have to do this back and forth and finish with seaming.

Will the increases as the skirt flares out completely mess up my pooling? If you can't increase in pooling, my other thought was to make two rectangular panels, and then attach them at the sides with a triangular panel in a complementary solid color.

Any other suggestions on how this could work? Or am I being far too ambitious with this? 😂

I've wanted to try planned pooling for a while. I've been crocheting for three years and want something new. But I don't know what yarn to use, whats the best brand, or what should I look for in the colorways?

First skein was random and didn’t pool. Second gave this big patch of pink and obvious pattern. Third is looking like it will be pooling as well but different pooling areas. Kinda hate it. I love the tan but hate the pooling. Looks like blobs of colors.

Does it make a huge difference if you just use single crochet instead of doing a moss stitch for planned pooling, I can do either, but I don’t know which would work best for a planned pooling blanket using chenille blanket yarn so I’m looking for some help from planned pooling experts. Thank you :)
