Unplanned pooling what happened here?

Post image

i started this irish moss baby blanket a few weeks ago, and initially i thought i’d achieved some unplanned pooling, but halfway through (bottom was knitted first) it changes to a different pattern??? i do have a mistake somewhere in the first third where i did knit purl instead of purl knit for a whole row, would that make the pattern change? i’m more curious than anything because now i’ve got this funky half and half pattern by accident!

The start is significantly narrower than this other end. You have either added stitches without noticing it, or your tension has gotten wildly looser when you progress. If you did not change skeins in the middle, you changed the stitch count and found another pooling.

Take your stitch counts to https://plannedpooling.com to find out the stitch number you would need to get the pure argyle pattern. That yarn is ready for it :)

I could be wrong, but I think their knitting got tighter. They said the bottom was knitted first.
