Thank you so much for this video! I was so confused by planned pooling and watching this has made me understand what to do, you are amazing! Thank you again!
I’m watching this on 12-19-23 & it’s funny, just as you mentioned your accent, I was noticing it;) I’m originally from NY, born in Brooklyn, so I’ve got an accent & now I live in PR & learning Spanish & my accent here is a whole new ballgame;) I thank you for your video, I’m learning to pool while knitting, but I watch almost every video on pooling, to learn & until my specific yarn for pooling arrives! Your accent is very sweet, blessings to you & your family, peace on Mother Earth & may we each be kind to one another😘
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm about to start my first pooling blanket for my first grandson thats due this summer. I can't wait to give this a try tomorrow
Well I have watched a dozen of these already and you're the first one who showed us how to do the moth stitch up close. I did not understand that you have to chain one and Skip 1 and then I couldn't figure out how in the world to do the next draw thank you so much
Thank you very much for your video. I live in Texas and love it! I want to make a blanket for my first grand baby. Can you tell me how many chains to do it with? Using this pattern? Thank you.
I have tried and frogged so many times. I thought I had it only to get multiple rows in to find it wasn't working. How do you figure out how many stitches of each color?
If you go all the way to the end of your chain you generally won’t be at the same place in your repeat. And there’s a strong chance that the argyle pattern won’t be right. I would have to see your project to know for sure how yours is coming out
It completely depends on how long one color sequence is, then have to decide how many sequences it would take to make it the width you want it to be. For Icelandic I would guess around 3 sequences.. maybe 4.
hello what size crochet hook you use and also can you recommend other red heart super saver ,or any varigated yarns you use that turn out sucessful. I am having a hard time getting it to work for me I have purchased different yarns from a list of suggested yarns and so far none of them pan out. I am going to try the yarn you are using in video maybe it will work . Thanks
Angela Lewis sorry you're having a hard time with it. It can be frustrating for sure. I use the hook size that it suggests on the label itself. Most of them seem to be an I hook or a 5.5mm. RHSS Bright Mix, Earth & Sky, Lemon Drop, any of the ones that have 3-4 color changes seem to be the easiest for most. With Zebra, a lot of people work it as two colors instead of 4 and seems to work a lot easier that way. I hope it helps!
Angela Lewis sorry you're having a difficult time with this. It can be frustrating. I use the hook size that is suggested on the label. Most times I've found it to be an I or a 5.5mm. RHSS has some great ones that pool easily. Bright Mix. Earth & Sky. Lemon Drop. Mostly the ones that have 3-4 color changes have been easiest for people to pool. Zebra has 4 colors but some have worked it as 2 colors and that seems to be easier for a lot of people. Hope this helps! Ty for inquiring. Bright Mix was my first TH-cam vid and I go into a lot of detail with that one.
It depends which technique you’re doing. Keeping edges straighter you would need to do the alternate method. Changing one sequence within the pattern. When you do it that way, your turning chain does not count as a stitch on either side. This is the best way to do it to keep your sides nice and even. I have a few examples of it in different vids. I hope this helps.
So sorry for the delay! For some reason my alerts aren’t working! Everyone’s stitches are different. You chain thru a full color sequence. Then as you moss stitch thru your first row, you might have 4 of each color. Not everyone has the exact same, and others do have the exact same. Dye lots are different and so is everyone’s tension. Whatever the number you have on your first row is what you need to keep consistent (watching the turns tho).
Donna McElvany thank you, can I make it wider with making it two sequence? Or Will that mess it up? Sorry for the questions and thank you for the response.
I don’t mind questions at all! You can make it as wide as you like with 2, 3, even 5 or 6 sequences. How ever wide you want it you can do it. It works up the exact same. I don’t mind questions at all! Ty!
Your videos are great. Just one thing in all of the videos that I have seen and the instructions that I've read you never count the loop on the hook; yet in your videos that is exactly what you do. Why?
Timothy Wallace hmmmm. Not sure I'm following exactly what you're saying. I haven't read directions for PP and I've watched Marly Bird's vids. In mine I emphasize the turns and making sure the stitches line up correctly and how the turns play into effect. The long tail side, the turning chain counts as a stitch. On the non tail side, all the legs need to land. The chain stitch between the sc all counts as one stitch. Four PP stitches is the stitch plus the chain. 4 legs land and there's a chain in between each one. So maybe when I counted my stitch, I counted it after I did the sc?
I know in planed pooling you can't say chain 55 or whatever you need to chain for what you want to make. I've also watched Marly Bird's vids. She goes in the 4th chain from the hook, that means the loop that is on the hook is not counted. You counted before you did your first single crochet.
I was just wondering; because it looked like you were having a hard time when you got to the end of a row. Also, I guess everybody crochet differently. Keep up the great videos. :)
Timothy Wallace oh I gotcha. Actually the end of each row is gonna be different depending on how your stitches need to land on the next row. Sometimes they're tight and sometimes they're loose and you have to get creative in each instance to make sure the legs land right. Thanks for your comments and questions and thanks for watching! :)
you said you have watched other videos on how to. well you sld watch on how to set ur camera because ever one is set wrong. plz just fix the problem so we can c u better.
Ty. And yes my first videos are not as good because I did not have a good camera holder which I do mention in my vids. My most recent vids however, I use a phone holder and they are way better! I hope you check out those vids!! Thanks for watching and thanks for comments! :)
Eva Johnson it's not a matter of how many chains, but how many full sequences. With Icelandic I believe it takes around 4 full sequences. Maybe 3 with a big border. Depends. Practice with it to see how many you want, how wide you want to make it
I can't under stand it what I'm doing rong,I watch an watch your vidos an when I go to get started it won't work I won't to learn this so bad pleas please help

Thank you. Compromising the corners is a game changer
Thank you Donna for yet another brilliant tutorial. I can’t wait till my yarn arrives to try it out. ❤
Thank you so much! This really helped me get it to pool! Can't wait to finish the project
Thank you so much for this video! I was so confused by planned pooling and watching this has made me understand what to do, you are amazing! Thank you again!
I'm so happy it worked for you!!! Thank you!!
Thank you for making this video...... I'm trying so hard to make this work..🌹

I’m excited to know how it comes out! Thanks!!
I know if you can see viewers you probably think I’m a stalker but after 6 years of failed attempts, I finally got it to pool! Thank you SO MUCH!
I'm in East Tx! Thank you for being so precise in your instructions. I've never known what to do with verigated yarn.
So sorry for the delay! For some reason my alerts aren’t working! Thank you for watching and I’m so glad it’s helped you!
Well I have watched a dozen of these already and you're the first one who showed us how to do the moth stitch up close. I did not understand that you have to chain one and Skip 1 and then I couldn't figure out how in the world to do the next draw thank you so much
It finally makes sense now! Thank you!
Awesome video. Just to clarify. Wouldn’t that be third from the hook not fourth on the first row. As you are going into the third chain?
THANK YOU!!!!!! It's that dang turning stitch on the tail end that kept throwing everything off for me
So glad it helped you!
Thank you so much! This really helped me 😇i am in New Jersey
Thank you for this video...I watched several others of other people and it just didn't work out or "click" until yours!!
Helpful! But if you could do your filming in horizontal, then it'd be easier to see what you're doing :)
Great tutorial. Best one I have been able to understand where I have been going wrong. BTW I love your Texan accent.
Leanne Purbrick ty!! 😄
Rew
My mom just came home from Iceland and she brought back some Icelandic yarn!
That’s awesome!!
Thank you for explaining this
looks like you went to the 3rd chain from the hook, not the 4th
Thank you very much for your video. I live in Texas and love it! I want to make a blanket for my first grand baby. Can you tell me how many chains to do it with? Using this pattern? Thank you.
Thank you. It clicked for me!
Ty! I’m so glad it’s working for you! Thanks for watching :)
Love your accent!!
I can't do the Red,and green and white it keeps piling up,.etc.
What happens with the left over chain?
Does it matter in which color I start or I have to start on grey??
I have tried and frogged so many times. I thought I had it only to get multiple rows in to find it wasn't working. How do you figure out how many stitches of each color?
Donna should I have the same number of stitches in the non tail side?
i have this same yarn and its weird all my colors give me 4 but my blue is giving me 5 stitches....hmmm
That does happen a lot! Each persons can be different like that. As long as you follow what yours is doing then it’ll be great! Thanks!
My Icelandic super saver is saying size H/5mm. I wonder why?!!
Wow interesting!
I am using the right size hook and getting way more stitches than you so can't make it work!
Hi what'is the number of hook?
So if you would’ve went all the way to the end of your chain would you you’ve had 3 blue at the end if you did 8 and Change that’s what I got
If you go all the way to the end of your chain you generally won’t be at the same place in your repeat. And there’s a strong chance that the argyle pattern won’t be right. I would have to see your project to know for sure how yours is coming out
How many would you chain for a crib size baby blanket?
It completely depends on how long one color sequence is, then have to decide how many sequences it would take to make it the width you want it to be. For Icelandic I would guess around 3 sequences.. maybe 4.

Sorry I'm starting this with the same yarn, but how do you keep your edges straight do I count the stitches?

Is it every other stitch? I’m a newbie so at times it seems like you skipped more than one.
Yes the moss stitch is every other stitch
It didn't say how many stitches to start with? How many do I need to do?
