Can you do a planned pooling look(the intricate color changes) with multiple yarn colors? And if so can someone point me where to find it? Searching for flannel/argyle crochet gives squares and basic flannel more than I am looking for. Or all planned pooling designs. I was thinking since you are essentially using the same colors in lines you could basically work back and forth between colors. But it’s hard to find a pooled style without it actually being multi colored yarn. Or am I just dreaming up a project that I will rage quit on!?

I kept getting recommended posts from this community so I decided to give it a whirl. After much help from the FAQ and fiddling around, pooling works great! This is a little less than one skein, banana for reference.

I want to try this, but I want to make a child’s sweater. Looking at the directions, it looks to me like each yarn has a number of stitches it “wants” to be to make a good pattern. So, the sweater need that to be the stitch count. If it’s not enough, then you need to add a border after, or something? Drop shoulder would be easiest, cutting the armholes, to keep the pooling going as long as possible. But, the sleeves would not have the pooling, nor would the body once the neck decreases started.

Is this correct, or am I missing something?

Definitely a learning experience 😅 I lost some stitches, gained some stitches, somehow managed to not offset one row halfway through, but we made it in the end! The whole process got me looking at every variegated yarn I saw and thinking about what it would look like pooled. Used caron jumbo gravel

Hi everyone, I've been crocheting for quite a few years, but this is my first planned pooling project, and would like some help/advice...I'm not sure where I went wrong as it suddenly started to offset by 2 stitches instead of 1.

It’s just a cheap yarn I use to crochet ducks for hiding on cruise ships but I noticed the colours somewhat lined up so I tried it for planned pooling, I love it!

This is a dc, sc alternating pattern with a variegated yarn and it seems like if I could figure out the right width I could get it to pool, it I have such a difficult time putting the color and stitch counts into the planned pooling website. Does anyone have experience with this? I also have no information about the yarn (got it hand-me-down without a label) so maybe I’m just out of luck.

Had this yarn bumping around for years now with no clue what to do with it, then my partner linked me to this subreddit. Now I'm making a big beautiful scarf with it as a proof of concept ❤️ the colours change sort of slowly, so the transitions aren't very sharp, but it WORKS and it's AMAZING and I'm in love.

Now I have to stock up on ap variegated yarn, oh noooooooooooo /s.

Has anyone used Hobbii Horizon (100% non-pilling acrylic) for a crocheted planned pooling project? If so, does it work up nicely? What is your opinion of it?

Using the Red Heart Berry yarn and I can’t tell what color should be next for each row. Am I having any success? The gauge is correct, I’m consistently getting three per color, but how do I know what color should start each row?

Red Heart wildflower yarn. 45”x 45”. I like it because it reminds me of stadium lights.

I recently bought some of the premier bloom chunky big yarn and I was hoping to make a large blanket but crochet doesn’t look quite right with the design. It appears it’s really only meant for knitting, specifically the stockinette stitch. I don’t know how to knit but I was wondering if Tunisian crochet would work similarly with the design since it does resemble the knitted stitches.

I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to post but I really want to try this yarn and I’m desperate for a way to make it look nice! Thanks in advance!

I found some sewing thread at JoAnn a few weeks ago that I knew I'd be able to color pool. However, I'm not really sure what to make with it!

I bought it on impulse because the thread was buy three get three and I got enough colors to do a color pooling thing with two matching solid colors.

I want to make something that is pretty but also useful, but I don't have any ideas for how to make a color pooling item with that, LOL.

Would love some ideas!

So I learned about planned pooling earlier this year, got very interested and bought 4 skeins of the lion brand bundle of love yarns, 201CQ unicorn. After multiple unsuccessful attempts on the first skein, I got discouraged and kinda put these yarns away. Last month, I was running out of project, and decided to try again on the new skein, and boy it worked this time! It's magical! It came out smooth and neat, I was so excited and started a 60" foundation chain. Lol, little did I know about the dye lots...only 2 skeins were from the same lot/ batch, the others were varied in length for the blue. I tried to get more but it seems like they are all out of stock from my local stores. It's available online but I can't pick the lot I want shopping online.

Anyone know if Lion brand gonna continue this yarn? Well I guess the question is do they repeat the same dye pattern in the future batches? I only get half of a blanket (60" x20") with 2 skeins of yarn, I really hope to buy more and finish this project.

I’m working on this blanket as part of my treatment for postpartum depression.

I’ve been frogging my pebbled path left and right I’m new to crochet and have never color pooled. Would this yarn work for this method?

Long color changes, first time pooling, and using a yarn I didn't see on a list of pooling yarns, but I'm loving it! This will fit a queen size bed when finished for reference:)

Hi there!

I'm looking for some help in figuring out how to do moss stitch planned pooling.

I'm working on a piece right now that I'm doing stacked single crochet and it's coming along nicely, but for whatever reason I can't figure out the moss stitch one. I've watched marlybirds video probably around 30 times and I'm getting nowhere... for the stacled I watched naztazias and got it the first time. Anyone out there able to maybe willing to give me some tips or pointers on how to work the moss stitch?

It feels like there is something going on here. Some diagonal stripes that are a bit rough round the edges. Either way I like it.

Posted this in r/crochet and someone suggested I post here. No pattern.

Bought the yarn in May 2023, hunted for consistent dye lot almost a year ago, on and off working on this and I'm 5 jumbo skeins into a probably 13 jumbo skein, twin sized bed blanket. 🙀

Excuse my very wobbly tension, once I noticed the pattern I started trying to keep it going!

I found this ball of yarn in the back of my closet and was expecting the usual slightly camo-esque mess of colours that has always come from crocheting with variegated yarn previously!

Hello I have several skeins of this yarn I got on sale, but I’m struggling with how to work it up to pool. It does indeed repeat itself however it’s incredibly long repeats of 10-30 stitches. It also repeats the pattern in mirror before repeating. I’ve noticed others asking about this yarn but I’m not really sure how to start or what to follow. The pooling websites show an argyle or plaid pattern is possible but I’m imagining a giant piece to see the changes. Any way to keep it reasonable as the skeins are the small type?

Hi all, I’m currently on a pooling project with some cygnet baby soft yarn.. But I’ve seen an advert on Facebook for someone selling Cygnet Pato everyday Prints in some lovely colours and wondered if anyone has used them for pooling before? Wasn’t sure if it would pool and didn’t want to waste money. Thanks in advance
