Thank you - this was clearer than Marly Bird

[@TheKnottyLace]

Oh, what a compliment! I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you 🥰

[@patriciakellmann8478]

I agree but could you make a left handed video and put on your channel as been trying for a week and can't mirror it as tablet doesn't do it your video is good also could you show when you turn on each end

[@TheKnottyLace]

Thank you for your feedback. Yes I would definitely consider working on left handed videos. I have other planned pooling video tutorials maybe those might show you a different angle perhaps? Let me know x

[@4speedchevy]

Marly bird tutorials do not work for me at all! She is way too wordy for my brain. She takes 10 sentences to say what could be said in one or two.

[@TheKnottyLace]

@@patriciakellmann8478 i made a left-handed version! hope this will help ☺☺kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJSWmHpvnsqkbsUsi=1Ixlq7AkHXfZ_zVn

[@Mrs.Silversmith]

In order to figure out how to do this for any type of variegated yarn find out your count for one repetition of your color pattern. Choose your desired number of repetitions for the width of your project. For a plaid result you need to have your row add one or minus one stitch from that repetition total. For argyle you need to have an ODD number of stitches in your stitch total and then number of repetitions plus approximately 50% of your stitch count for a repetition (so for 17, a multiple plus 8 or 9). If you try it with an even number, repetitions plus 50% will also give you plaid, not argyle.

[@Eartherika5]

I just wanted to let you know that your comment was instrumental in my figuring out how to color pool! Thank You @Mrs.Silversmith

[@valackerman7519]

This is how I thought it could work in my brain...easiest yet! Thank you.❤

[@TheKnottyLace]

You are so welcome!

[@melissam7635]

Have always loved crochet pooling designs. Always thought it would be too hard to figure out. I was wrong! So simple the way you explain it. Thank you!❤

[@TheKnottyLace]

You are so welcome! 🙏🏼😊💕

[@cassandragraham4419]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was giving up on learning this until I came across your channel. Truly appreciated

[@TheKnottyLace]

That’s great! You’re most welcome 😊

[@graciegirl7556]

I've been trying to make planned pooling work for me for days now. This really helped thank you!

[@TheKnottyLace]

You’re so welcome. I’m glad it helped :)

[@lisamalone441]

Great job. I am encouraged to find a soft yarn that works with this concept. Awesome explanation. A real game changer- the computed website

[@TheKnottyLace]

I’m so glad! Oh and please do share the yarn once you find one. 👏☺️

[@laurelgirard8475]

Wow! You’re using Red Heart Icelandic! That and Wildflowers are my favorite variegated yarns! I didn’t know you could use it in Planned Pooling. I have enough for a cardigan now!, Thanks for the video. It looks much easier than I thought. I think you made it look easier. Another video I saw made my brain ache. It felt like calculus or something (not that I know what calculus feels like)!!

[@TheKnottyLace]

Hahahah! Calculus is not my thing either! Lol . I never used to care for variegated yarn but now I have so much respect for them lol. 🥰

[@KatEyze1015]

I'm so glad I found your channel! You're so easy to follow and I appreciate the tool. I can't wait to start my journey!

[@TheKnottyLace]

Yay I’m so glad ☺️

[@beverlys.8535]

I would love to see you do this pooling with Red Heart Stillwater Pooling in a multiple sequences

[@TheKnottyLace]

That is a gorgeous color and I think would turn out amazing! 💕

[@petoctopus]

Wow thank you for this video! Feeling like I might be able to accomplish color pooling!

[@TheKnottyLace]

Oh that’s great! Yes it’s not as hard as it looks! Good luck! 😚

[@CaliGirlCrafter]

[@mamadahhhling6732]

Oh my goodness thank you 🎉🎉🎉 I was always afraid I couldn't 😨 do pooling but ur directions were so spot on & easy enough for me to catch on. I need to go get some yarn cuz I only have solid color's 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶

[@TheKnottyLace]

Yay I’m so glad!!! 🥰 go get some variegated yarn now. It’s so fun to do

[@mamadahhhling6732]

I'm out the door 👍🤣👍🚙

Thank you for making this video this was much easier to understand and comprehend

[@TheKnottyLace]

I’m glad it was helpful 😄

[@Anne-ee1pw]

This was a great tutorial! 😊

[@TheKnottyLace]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@deborahduthie4519]

Some wools aren’t 3X3 colours. I was crocheting a continuous diagonal pattern not Argyle, so that site to colour match to check the pattern is going to be a boon for me. Thank you🧶👏🏼

[@TheKnottyLace]

I know it’s amazing! 👌

[@amandah739]

Thank you for sharing the website! None of the other tutorials I've seen have shared it. I still struggle with the stitches though because I use a SC, Ch1, repeat, and it isn't pooling correctly. Other videos have used that stitch (vs your HDC) and it works. Does the ch1 count as a stitch also? I think yes but then the pattern wasn't working on the website. I suppose more playing around with it, and I might get it.

[@TheKnottyLace]

Hi Amanda, the ch1 does not count as a stitch maybe that could be the issue.. you could also try Sc or Dc and see which works better. Also try diff hook sizes might help.. the most important thing is to maintain ur tension. Hope that helps :)

[@nondanelson9553]

[@aliciasloan2579]

I love this ❤ i was wondering how much for a full size blanket?i love these colors ❤

[@aliciasloan2579]

Sorry skeen wise...

[@TheKnottyLace]

Hi! This free yarn calculator might be able to help- www.theknottylace.com/yarn-calculator-calculate-how-much-yarn-you-actually-need/. Thank you so much! 😊

[@sallysmith8081]

This was a very good tutorial, and I started working on it with Caron Jumbo yarn, but after I would go maybe 2-3 rows, the yarn would have a tie in it and I have had a hard time getting it right again. I am so frustrated.

[@TheKnottyLace]

😫 Ugh I know how that feels! I’m so sorry you had a bad batch! But I’m glad you found this tutorial helpful! ☺️

[@sallysmith8081]

I'm going to keep trying. Thanks for your reply.@@TheKnottyLace

[@TheKnottyLace]

What would you make with this pattern? 🧣👜🛏️

[@maryrickrode1305]

So if I want to make it wider do I just keep adding sets of 59 sts

[@TheKnottyLace]

Yes that’s right. But do check out plannedpooling.com website as well to get your pref pattern style and stitch count :)

[@maryrickrode1305]

Thank you so much

[@rouxtube550]

It doesn't need to be multiples of 59. Decide how wide you want it and guestimate how many chains you need making sure that you end at the color change on your hook. Put your numbers in the planned pooling chart and manipulate for the pattern you want.

[@Xiassen]

Is planned color pooling only good for making argyle? I suppose blocks and stripes are kinds of pools, but I can't find any other interesting prints made

[@TheKnottyLace]

Have you tried checking out plannedpooling.com? You can choose your own pattern there.

[@beverlys.8535]

So 59 chains work for any stitch but will it work for Red Heart Stillwater pooling color?

[@TheKnottyLace]

Hi Beverly, I dont think so because of the number of colors and length of each yarn/brand is different. You would have to go to plannedpooling.com and work out the total stitches you need. You can refer to my tutorial on how to use this site in order to get the number of sts that would work for RH Stillwater type. 👍

[@martha-anastasia]

This technique is very compelling. But, if one crochets with a very even tension, shouldn't it fall into pattern effortlessly???

[@TheKnottyLace]

Hi @martha-anastasia, I totally agree with your thought process however some variegated yarn brands are not dyed evenly and can run by a few millimeters, so no matter how even our stitching may be, the yarn may not comply 😁 . Hope that helps 💕

[@martha-anastasia]

So. I'm visiting mom. Raid her yarn stash and find a orange sized ball of variegated yarn. Grab a hook. I ran off a 8" square and it worked. An argyle pattern perfectly centered. So fun. (((((((Insert twilight zone music))))))

[@TheKnottyLace]

Yay 👏👏👏

[@cynthiagomez5286]

I'm wondering why you didn't just start with a 60ch?

[@TheKnottyLace]

Hi there! - I had to end my last stitch on a new color hence the extra chains. This also shows what one could do with the access number of chains if they didn’t have a fix size in mind. :) - hope that clarifies. Thanks - Shaz.

[@kayceegreer4418]

Moss/linen stitch works a better result.

[@sorryNOTsorry0911]

I was slowly understanding until you brought up the computer programs ugh now more confused..

[@TheKnottyLace]

Oh no! I’m so sorry it made it more confusing! The pooling software is there to actually help you determine your foundation row / num of chains you need to make. 😔 Let me know if you need more clarity. - Shaz

[@williamlong5496]

Did she forget to explain how to remove the remaining blue stitches of the first row?

[@TheKnottyLace]

Just open them up - time stamp 6:56 😊
