Planned Pooling Crochet Throw
"This is a large throw/afghan that is made using the multi-sequence color pooling technique. Then a beautiful solid color border is added to really frame the beautiful argyle look of the throw. I love the soft shades of this super saver colorway combined with the matching solids. Once you get the hang of pooling and set up the number of color sequence repeats you want for the throw this blanket works up rather quickly. Choose any variegated pooling yarn and a coordinating solid and make a throw for yourself."

I have been curious about how planned pooling works, but I have never yet attempted to start a project working with this technique. It looks very difficult to me. How do you figure out how your project will look when it is finished? Multiple Sequence Planned Pooling Crochet looks so complicated and confusing.

What a cool technique. This is a challenge for me. If you have never attempted color pooling before, don't feel bad- neither have I! With a short instructions list ( 4 rows), Marly Bird guides us through the basics with ease. She makes it seems so easy! Don't you love the final result? I know I do. It looks soft, too.
