Lambtown Festival: Crochet Planned Pooling: Swim Lesson Cowl
Planned Pooling is a crochet technique where you make plaid or striped color patterns with just one variegated yarn. In this class, students will learn how to planned pool stripes and plaids using a two-color indie-dyed yarn while crocheting the Swim Lesson Cowl. You’ll learn tricks for modifying your tension in order to get colors to land where you want them to go, as well as how to use a pooling calculator app or graph paper to sketch out planned pooling charts. After this class, students should have the skills they need to finish the cowl and make a matching headband. You’ll also learn how to approach and start a planned pooling project with more colors, and feel excited about all the possibilities.
