The craze for color pooling the argyle print is sweeping the Internet. Many of the
projects you see online use beautiful worsted-weight acrylic yarns, but did you
know that you can get the same stunning argyle print with yarns made in other
fibers and weights? Heres a small collection of some of our favorite alternative
color-pooling yarns.

Notes
This pattern is written for the yarn listed.
If you would like to use a different yarn,
please reference the article on page 10.
Make a note of how many colors are in the
skein and how they repeat. A set of colors
(before they repeat) is called the color
sequence.
You should be able to get at least a couple
of moss stitches or more for each color in
arepeat.
Colors can appear once or more than once
in the sequence before the color pattern
repeats.
The foundation chain should be as long
as it takes to crochet one and a half times
through the color sequence in the first row
minus one sc and chain 1 (moss stitch).
This will cause the colors to shift one moss
stitch, creating the crisscross pattern.
(This can also be done by crocheting one
BLOOMING TEE
BY NATASHA ROBARGE
With its simple, modern silhouette
and double crochet background,
this top is a ready canvas for a large
intarsia poppy. Try out this unique
color-changing technique for a
breezy tee thats perfect for warm
spring days. YARN Madelinetosh
Tosh Merino Light. PAGE 27.
PERENNIAL PURSE
BY ANNETTE HYNES
A poppy serves as the buttonhole for
this bright cotton purse. The body is
crocheted in a mitered square of textured
Tunisian stitches, alternating bars of
reverse stitch stripes, and honeycomb;
the corners of the square are folded up
into an envelope. YARN Lion Brand Yarns
24/7 Cotton. PAGE 23.
BUDDING HEADBAND
BY DORA OHRENSTEIN
Liven up any spring outfit with this
statement headband. The poppy is
made in one piece, but each petal
is made separately without cutting
the yarn. YARN HiKoo CoBaSi,
distributed by Skacel. PAGE 25.
Notes
Top is worked seamlessly from the top down
with raglan shaping. Collar is picked up from
foundation chain and worked upward.
Piece is worked in spiral rounds using the
double-ended circular Tunisian crochet
technique. There are no floats on WS of
colorwork. Instead, how the hook enters
the stitch determines the color.
A Tunisian crochet round consists of
twopasses: a RS facing forward pass (FwP),
to pick up sts in one color (MC), and a
WS facing pass to work off sts from the
Floret Crop Top opposite end in the second color (CC). Move
Lily Chin markers up as you work.
Read chart from right to left for every
row. Every chart row is worked as a FwP
with MC.

Notes
Garment body is made in two pieces,
worked from the side seam toward the cen-
ter along the whole front and back length.
Once the front width has been reached, only
the back length is continued to the center
back where the two pieces are seamed.
Side panels close the side seams.
Sleeves are worked flat separately and
seamed to form a tube. Sleeve edge is only
partially sewn to body to leave an under-
arm gap, as seen in traditional kimonos.
Fabric is very stretchy, so measurements
given are taken with piece laid flat.
