 Hey everybody, okay, so let's get this plan pooling Project out on the way So I went ahead and decided to use the ombre soft secret because that's the one that worked in my other video as you saw For choosing the right kind of yarn So what you do to start just pull out your yarn create a slipknot and Make a long chain the purpose of the chain is to gather what how many Stitches per color you're gonna get so it doesn't really matter what what color you start your chain off with Just make sure that you work through All your color sequences. So my color sequence is starting with green and I know there's there's a lot extra right here But don't worry about that right now. So I have green yellow pink purple pink Yellow green and blue and that's my entire sequence before it repeats. So when you get to the end You're going to start working back through and When you do get to the end you want The last loop on your hook to be the beginning Color of the next sequence. So when you chain back both of the V's will be your New color and so now we're going to work back through the entire chain Just using a moderate tension. It doesn't have to be Any kind of crazy tension Just work back through until you reach the end of your color sequence. So Here we started with green and my color sequence ends with blue So I'm going to single crochet back until I reach blue or if you're using a moth stitch You can do your moth stitch and same thing just cycle back until you reach your the last color in your sequence I'm going to pause the video and come back when we get there. Okay. Hi So I've reached the end of my sequence with the blue and You've noticed that at the beginning of the sequence starts with green. So I pulled up one green loop That's where you want to do your stopping point and you're going to count How many stitches in each color so for me I have about four stitches in each color So I've got one two three four one two three four one two three four and it goes all the way down to blue So that makes it easy pretty much. You don't have to worry about How many stitches you're going to have so what you do after that is You're going to head on over to the plan pooling comm website And I have to put a shout-out to Nastasia for her video on plan pooling too because it was really helpful And she mentioned the plan pooling website, which I think is a great tool. So shout out to her and say thank you Let's get started So we're over here at plan pooling comm and this is the page it shows up like this is generic First thing you want to do is go ahead and add some colors over here and To change the color you simply click in the box and then hover over the colors Over here and you can just kind of click wherever you would like Something that matches you can do bright and dark over here. It slides up and down and once you finish adding all your colors then you're going to go ahead and And enter the stitch number for each color right here. So you just kind of highlight and Enter I had four stitches per color on my project So I'm just going to play around with that. You can see this is not an argile print So we're going to go ahead up here where it says one stitch longer and just keep clicking that Until you see a pattern that you like I Don't really see one yet. I mean this is kind of argile, but it's not really what we want so That one looks a little bit better, but what you can do is also increase your stitch count by one or so and See if that might help. There's a lot of things you can play around to personalize this so but what you really want is to match your stitches and Then come up with a stitch count that's going to create that pattern So here is like a 69. So let's go back over This is the pattern that I created with the ombre yarn from soft secret and I entered my stitches right here and my perfect stitch count was 49 so Once you have that all set and done go ahead and take a screenshot or print it out And then we can go move on to the next part of plan pooling Okay, so I went ahead and Input all my colors into the plan pooling website and this is what I the design I chose for my project and you can see here that I have 49 stitches in my row and These are all my colors. There's eight of them and here I inserted the stitches in the color So the previous video went over how to do that and how to work with this website. So Here, this is the bottom row. So you're going to go ahead and flip it So you can kind of see that's where you're starting down here And you can just set this aside and use it as a guide so here I have my the beginning that I started working and And you know each there's four eight twelve sixteen this will be Where you're going to add on till you reach the number of stitches in your row that the plan pooling website tells you you need Keep in mind you can make this number anything you want if you want to make a pillow scarf There's other ways you can manipulate How long and how wide you want to have it so it's it's gets a little more fun once you start getting into this and I'm playing around with it. So Just keep on crocheting Until you have the number of stitches in your row that it says that you need and Then we'll come back So go ahead and pause it now if you want. Okay, so I've completed mine I don't and hopefully you've completed yours So you can see as I work through my bottom this bottom row of the sequence that I completed the Purple down here. There's four stitches right there. There's gonna be one left over. That's my 49th stitch So here I've completed the four stitches and then there's one in The in the pink so the next what you do from here you're just gonna flip it And go straight into the first stitch no chaining and Then start finishing your sequence. So I had one pink down there. I'm gonna do three more Up here and here's where attention plays a big role you want your tension To be four stitches and you want the V of these to be The same color so each stitch as long as this V is the same color you're in good shape if this loop is different It's not that big of a deal, but ideally you would like to pull up this new color of the next sequence into your On your hook so like for instance, let's do this next one So I've got yellow as the next stitch and you can see both legs of the V are yellow And here's where tension plays a role. So let's see if I can get four stitches in the yellow Complete stitches I did So there's four complete but you can see that this is the green pulled up here. It's These are very pale pale pale colors. So So here you'll see I have a little bit of green left right here Can I get a stitch out of that? Probably not a whole one So I'm gonna tighten it a little bit and then you'll see I pull up the blue And that's why tension is really important because from here on out on the second row and all the rest of them You want to make sure There I have a lot of blue left. So I'm gonna pull it up a little bit so that When I do pull up the next one, it's gonna be green And if you mess up just rip it back, it's not a big deal Of course crocheting is for fun and relaxation not to be stressed out about it But see here so you have a little bit of green left It's very late, but you can see it and I think even if I tighten it a little bit I'm not gonna get a whole stitch out of that You can see I mean it is kind of like that, but I don't know that one's debatable But I think I'll keep it because I do have the yellow stitch pulled up so we can work back through some more So there I have three yellows and I have I think just enough To make another single crochet and to be able to pull up the pink once you start doing this you'll get the hang of it and It'll become kind of second nature So there we go. So you can see this is the second row and If it doesn't match completely with these, it's okay Just keep your four stitches or your whatever stitch count you have in each color and you should be good But this can be used as a guide and it's helpful All right, so I have completed this and It's really beautiful. I love it the colors are Very like pastel-y and I think I'm going to make a baby pillow for this one Or toddler pillow something like that The stuff the yarns really soft so I hope you enjoyed this video if you have any questions leave them in the comment section and Have fun looking for different types of yarn that you can use for plan pooling because I Had a good time figuring out which ones I wanted to use so If there's any tips or tricks you have Let me know in the comments and if you have a yarn that you know of Please add it because I want to create a list of Yarns that we can use for plan pooling and then just have like a master list and it'll be great All right. Thanks guys. Have a good day and happy crocheting. Please subscribe
