Hello everyone,
A big problem that frustrates a lot of crocheters is color change. Or to be more specific, how to change color without making a complete mess. With all the little strands and cords hanging out of your project whenever you change colours there has to be a better way to make it look clean without it being allowed to unraveling.
I’ve put together another sneak peek from Keys To Crochet and turned It into the tutorial below. Enjoy.
This is a really flexible stitch, you can make Afghans and use in other long bits of chain to fill up the spaces. There are a couple things to remember to color change really well no matter the situation.
Remember to only half finish the stitch and pull the next color through in the next loop. This means the colors are seamless and look as if the color just vanishes into the other one (Once you’ve darned of course!)
When you’re changing colors constantly you have to keep them out of your stitches, it can tangle up your work and make things seem messy. You’ll find that if you crochet in the ends of yarn you will have colors running through other colors and it will look really messy.
I really hope you got something valuable out of this tutorial. if you do, leave a comment below. I love your feedback.
Much love,
Amber
