I am so pleased to find your video! This is the clearest description of how to use assigned pooling yarn I have found, and it’s also the only one that shows clearly how to do the purl version on the back. I already have my assigned pooling yarn - and I feel much more confident about being able to use it well now. Thank you.
Das ist ja ein super hübsches Muster.👍 Ich schaue dich aus Deutschland und verstehe deine ganze Erklärung perfekt.👏👏 Schöne Kameraführung, sehr hübsches Garn. Werde ich unbedingt ausprobieren. Vielen lieben Dank für's Zeigen und liebe Grüße, Karin aus Brandenburg ❤☀️🙋🏼♀️
Wow! I Love this. In the past when I have looked at a skein of yarn variegated this way, I wondered if something like this could be done. Your video makes me want to try it. Great instruction. Thank you !!!
I am a new knitter and I am still discovering so many amazing techniques. This one boggles my mind! I will have to think on it before I ever attempt such creativity. Thank you for sharing this video!
The Reflecting Pool pattern is very simple, and this video gives you all the info you need to make it! The yarn does all the heavy lifting. You can find some beautiful colors at my friend's website, AChickThatKnitz.com. Happy knitting!
Are there patterns made for assigned pooling or do we use any pattern? I saw this video a year ago and loved the technique. I now have a little more experience knitting and would love to try this technique but I can’t find many patterns - I’m hoping Its me not looking in the right places 😊
@elizabethmurphy9181 yes there are patterns. You can search Ravelry for assigned pooling. It can also be used in patterns that do not call for it. A great first pattern intro is my Reflecting Pool pattern, available on Ravelry.
Literally have never heard or seen this before!!! Wow! It’s beautiful!! Like 🤷🏽♀️ so this pooling yarn? It’s a specific thing? I’ll have to research! Thanks for the video and tutorial! It was great, and opened a whole new chapter!!! Except…it looks hard! 😅I’ll have to think on it for awhile! Beautiful shawls though! Love it! 👏🏻
Some people use a from of color pooling to crochet colorful argyle patterns. The colours are arranged in diagonal lines - if the placement of the colours in the thread is right. That takes some figuring out and testing with swatches, the most important thing is to find a needle size that works (placement of stitches and always using up a certain color for a defined number of stitches beats whatever the label says about correct size. That takes some experimenting and a yarn that has short stretches of different colours (so one colour will allow for 2 - 3 single crochet stitches with a chain stitich in between. It does not matter if it is 2 or 3 (maybe 4 would work as well like the pattern would become larger) but one has to land at certain places and if one color is started with 2 or 3 stitches one has to keep to that (stitching tigher, or looser or even cheating a bit by occasionally using a half double crochet (it as one more loop than the single crochet so it uses up more of the color. It is a bit higher but if only occasionally used it is O.K. Within the fabric the different tensions (here a bit loose, there firmer than normal ... etc.) - will balance each other out. It will not be suited for a shawl - crochet does not have such a good drape as knit. But for (rectangular) blankets, or cushions, or panels of jackets or bags it could be a good idea (and the pieces will be large enough that the tensions will balance each other out). A yarn like the one used here would not work. And the variegated yarn that is a good fit for the crochet argyle technique would not work for this kind of look (where a "main" colour is needed, and the other colours are happening occasionally - but then they are a bit longer.
You can minimize the hole with gauge but because it is a cluster stitch there will always be at least a little gap die to the way the stitch pattern works.
Thank you for explaining Pooling. I always found yarns that long stretch of color intimidating. I have to give this a try. ❤

You're quite welcome! Happy knitting!

I’m so pleased I found your video! Your tutorial is so helpful and inspiring. I’ve not thought about using dyed yarn is this way.

Well explained and illustrated, thanks again 🌹
Very cool. I definitely will try it. Now to find pooling yarn!! Not sure how easy that is!
Check out that beautiful yarn! Love assigned pooling yarns.

It is actually VERY easy once you understand the basics. I teach a class on it... let me know if you're interested in taking it!

is there a way to knit this without the big hole next to the flower?

Can you tell me the yarn you’re using. I’m not sure I can find the pooling yarn somewhere.
A Chick That Knitz assigned pooling yarn. She always carries it, though the colorways change each season.
What’s the color of the Mad Tosh yarn? I want to buy that color way.
It is a custom colorway for Yarn and You in Farmersville, TX called Heyyyy Rainbow. You can get it by calling Stacy at the shop. Yarnandyou.com
