Planned Pooling Crochet Patterns
If you mastered color pooling last time it was trendy you’ll be ahead of the game here. But if you’ve never heard of it before you’re in for a treat! Planned pooling crochet patterns are fun to follow, and the projects you make will have a clever argyle effect pattern on them!
If you are a self-striping yarn fan you should give color pooling a try. The yarn is variegated (and looks pretty terrible on the ball) but when you carefully plan where the colors will sit you create this clever argyle pattern.
It was actually quite tricky to track down some planned color pooling projects to share with you today but I think you’ll like what I’ve come up with. Everything from a vintage style bag and a tassel scarf to a stylish table runner and a snuggly afghan.
1 | Planned Pooling Crochet Bag
I fell in love with this bag the moment I saw it. I think it’s a combination of the fabulous pattern with those bamboo style handles. It’s super stylish. This free pattern is a good starting point if you’ve never tried planned color pooling before because Cintia includes lots of photographs with her tutorial.
