Have you seen the Argyle craze with variegated yarn that's been happening all over social media? Have you tried it? Did you succeed or fail?
Well, I have broken down the "math" (don't be scared, cause you really do not need to use math) of it all into how to achieve the Argyle look!

FIRST
For this tutorial, I will be using Red Heart Super Saver, colorway Bright Mix & 5mm hook.
Start pulling a good length of the yarn out of the skein (it doesn't matter if the yarn is pulled from the center or from the outside - the pattern will still work, the colors will be in a different order) to determine what the color sequence is of yarn. I have found it easier for beginners to find a yarn with 4 or 5 colors in a sequence with each color having even lengths (they don't have to be perfectly even).​

• ​Yarn tips - a list of yarns that work is below, but stay away from really long or really short/choppy color sequences - these will not work for planned pooling.
• The length of your color sequence will determine the width of your piece (this can be changed by changing your hook or using half/double your color sequence.)

Bright Mix has 5 colors in it's sequence & they are close to being even in length:
​
​Blue, Purple, Pink, Blue, Green.

Chain through 1 entire color sequence, with the loop on your hook ending with the 1st color of the next color sequence.

• The beginning chain will not count when counting your total sts - it is just for the foundation to work your pattern stitches. Your total number of stitches will come when you work the 1st row of stitches - this is because the 1st row of stitches will have Sc stitches & it takes more yarn to work a sc. The key is to work 1 row of pattern stitches  using your entire color sequence (if you were using only chain stitches in your pattern, then your beginning ch would count).

If you were to continue working the pattern as it is - the colors would start pooling in an even sequence - every other row would stack up on each other in the same color order.

FOURTH
All you have to do is Add or Subtract 1 set of stitches (in this case, I subracted 1 sc & 1 ch). so your pattern stitches will Shift over 1 set of stitches.

​The Urban Criss-Cross Tee is a blend of cables & lace. The diagonal cables overlap each other in a criss-cross design while the chain spaces provides the lacy, airy affect to keep you modern & vintage.
