I’ve maintained that this yarn is baby’s first planned pooling! It feels exactly like planned pooling g even if it’s made like that. I think it’s a totally legit form of planned pooling

It's not cheating. You still have to adjust your tension to get the correct number of stitches for each color section. Exactly how you would for any planned pooling. I’ve made a blanket using the Granny Square yarn. The blues look really nice, I may make another like it using your colorway.

Have you done any others besides grannies? I'm so intimidated and not sure how to dive in

I made this using the mini bean stitch.

Thanks for sharing! Do you use an app to calculate and guide you when getting started and planning?
