I got a skein of the Red Heart Granny Square yarn to try out and I want to try the moss stitch. I've only done planned pooling with the single crochet, so does anyone have any pointers for the moss stitch and/or Granny Square yarn?
I stumbled into 'Planning Pooling' a couple of weeks ago and was intrigued. So, I went through my yarn stash from years ago and found 2 skeins of yarn that may pool - Bernat Satin Sport Southwest Ombre. After several tries while not knowing whether it would work or how it would look, I am so glad it worked. I wish I had another skein to make it longer, but the 2 skeins were enough to make a scarf of 9" x 37".
Unfortunately, I don't remember what yarn it is. It is a bulky blanket yarn. I made a random spots blanket a few years ago and then on a whim frogged it up and messed about to see if I could get a planned pool out of it. I could. (Mostly - there was one length that had a different stitch count so there's some oddness running through the middle. )
Gray-White-Gray-Red
2-4-2-5 was my stitch count.
Pattern testing a bag and I was initially regretting the color choice for the body then I noticed the pooling of the color and am extremely excited to see the finished bag
Anyone know what variegated crochet threads will pool? Insight regarding Aunt Lydia or Hobbii's Rainbow especially appreciated!
Made a moss stitch washcloth with red heart scrubby yarn in “almond” and accidentally ended up with chevron stripes! Very pleased with the result.
I tried using the moss stitch but it wasn't clicking so i moved on to the mini interlocking block stitch and it's starting to make sense now!
I have successfully planned pooled using the website and single crochets. I want to try the moss stitch but don’t know how to input it into the website and read it. Do the chains count as a stitch or do I only count the sc in between the chains? For example if I got 12 single crochets of one color (not doing moss stitch) then when attempting moss would I input 6 stitches or 12 on the website for that color?
Trying to finish this blanket for my niece
I got this gorgeous RHSS Haute yarn for xmas from my mum as I've been wanting to try pooling for a while. Being a mum, I managed to get a rare 2 hours to myself that I spent studying pooling and finally attempted it to get it right first time! This is done in Moss Stitch. One thing that's really helped me is not chaining 2 and having to worry about the confusion of wondering if to class it as a stitch or not. Instead, at the end of a row, I chain 1 like I would for any moss stitch, and then I turn and DC (sc) into the first chain space on the next row as if it were simply the next stitch. At the end of the row I simply make my last DC (sc) into the ch1. It's given me straight sides and no confusion! Of course this is probably specific to this yarn and I'll likely need the ch2 in future but I hope this technique helps some people out!

Hey all! Recently stumbled across this sub and I am in awe of y'alls creations and want to try it out for myself.
Read in several instructions that the yarn must be variegated in a repeating pattern (ex A->B->C>A->B->C), but the yarn I have cycles through the colors from A->B->C->B->A->B->C and so on. Will this still work for an argyle planned pooling? Might it work better for a different pooling pattern type?

I honestly have no idea where to start. I appreciate any pointers you brilliant folks have to offer!
Lion brand bundle of love, the color is Enchanted Forest.
I actually have an ongoing blanket project that was planned and I’ve been waiting to post it, but I started so long ago that my tension with the moss stitch is a mess. But I think this happy accident is actually a testament to how much better my tension is in general!
I grabbed a yarn I had on hand that I thought would be my best bet at pooling. Not sure if this is pooling enough to be worthwhile continuing. Keep going or frog it?
