Tips:

1 – Maintain the same number of stitches per color and pay close attention to the total stitch count to ensure the desired pattern. Remember that the pooling pattern is determined by the number of stitches in each color and the total number of stitches;

2 – To achieve the exact stitch count, loosen or tighten your stitches. If there is excess color, work half double crochet (hdc) stitches until you reach the exact number of stitches required for the pattern;

3 – Pooling is a very unique technique since the pattern—meaning the color arrangement—depends on the number of stitches per color, and each crafter has a different stitch tension. Some have tighter stitches, while others crochet more loosely, and this variation in tension can disrupt the color sequence, affecting the final result.
