Planned Pooling Project Bag, S10556A
At first glance, it´s hard to believe: The pretty check pattern of this project bag (26 cm x 28 cm/10 x 11 in.) actually comes from the gradient yarn Catania Color. To make this work, you need to begin at the correct spot of the yarn´s color repeat. This clever technique is known as "planned pooling" and offers new possibilities to crochet or knit with colored yarns. For this bag, you begin by working a surface design pattern by alternating single crochet and chain stitches. In the following row, you work the single crochet stitches by inserting the hook into the small loop of the chain stitches of the previous row. And since the pattern is so uncomplicated, you can concentrate on the color repeat for the "planned pooling". Have fun trying this technique!
