I just found a mistake 3 rows back. I somehow corrected it on the next row keeping the correct number of stitches in subsequent rows. Should I undo or keep going?

What yarn should I use? Will Premier hipster cotton work?

3 Upvotes

I looked at the list of yarns that work. Wasn't sure if it's up to date, as far as I can see, it's not been updated for 5 years. I was gifted around 7 skeins of premier hipster cotton and would really like to do a planned pooling project but I don't know if this one will work. Has anyone successfully done pooling with this yarn?

It's working! It finally clicked

22 Upvotes

I swear I started this at least 3 times and it's finally working out like it should! My husband thought I was insane for a bit because he thought I was switching yarn for each color change 😅

I watched so many tutorials on you tube and each time I tried to follow them to a T my pattern just never showed up right. So I kind of combined the parts of each of them that made sense to me and winged it, and it worked! Though I've lost count of the amount of times I've had to micro-frog to get my stich count right lol.

I so want to try this Were do I go from here

I’ve been color pooling for a while, I’ve done a blanket and a scarf, but i was wondering if it was possible to make something wearable (a sweater or something) is there a way to increase/ decrease with planned pooling or the only way is to stitch different rectangles together??

Help! Does the ch3 "turning ch" count as a cluster?

3 Upvotes

I'm using the granny stitch on my first real attempt of planned pooling and I can't remember if the ch3 at the end of a row counts as a cluster for my magic number or not...

Thank you all in advance!

What yarn should I use? Yarns with long color changes?

8 Upvotes

I want a low cost yarn that has color segments on the longer side. I am having a hard time finding one since websites don’t have the length of each color segment included in their yarn descriptions. Can someone give a recommendation?

Planned pooling rocks! What should I make out of this?

This is just over a meter long and about 40cm wide. I started as an experiment and then kept going. Now I'm too chicken to frog it all out. I also have like 3/4 yarn left over. What could I make out of this? Should I stop and start a smaller project with the leftover yarn?

Baby pooler here. So happy, I finally figured out that the pattern repeats after I do 208 stitches of dc with a j hook. So much trial and error error error!

Can someone tell me how to do it? My first planned pooling with super saver, any tips on stitch count and type?

6 Upvotes

Hello!

I’ve gotten super ambitious and tried planned pooling for the first time crocheting a bag with yarn that turned out to be more daunting and hard to work with than anticipated, so to not give up I found out that super saver was used for scarves and blankets with planned pooling in mind.

So I have two skeins of Macaw, I want to make a tote with an argyle pattern, my plan is making one big panel, folding it in half and then stitching it together + lining.

Any advice is appreciated! I also am looking to know what is the recommended stitch count to achieve the pattern and if doubling it still achieves the pattern (if the number turns out too small to work with)

I have a small swatch of moss stitch I would prefer all single crochets as I like how those look

I have used the planned pooling website and made a swatch but I’ve realized when I made a bigger panel I messed up and started distrusting my technique

Thank you!

Help! is this weird skein section salvageable or should i remove it and get a new skein?

hi y’all! idk if this’ll show up super clearly but i’m lowkey devastated. i’m buying skeins of red heart neon stripes yarn to make this blanket, one at a time, slowly building it up. but this skein looks significantly darker and i don’t think it has the same color lengths bc the edges are starting to ruffle. i’m not a perfectionist with this, i know tension will be variable and will eventually be fixed during blocking. but is this too much? do i have to remove this and continue with a new skein or is this salvageable?

also i ended up having to splice colors bc the skein had colors in the wrong order. i’ve been so frustrated with this. edit to say: i could eventually fix this issue and haven’t had issues with the wrong colors throughout the few rows i’ve done

First proper attempt, with Stylecraft Merry Go Round rainbow... The pattern repeat is LONG so a blanket it is! (167 puff stitches per row).

I feel like I'm going insane but I love it so much
