Crochet Techniques: Changing Colors

Crochet Techniques: Changing Colors
When you switch from one color to another, there is a trick to doing it so the change in color is very clean.


When a color change occurs in the middle of a row or round, work to one stitch before a color change (the illustration below shows the change in single crochet worked in a back loop, but the process is the same worked through both loops and for any other type of stitch). In the next stitch (the last one of your current color), crochet as usual, but do not wrap the yarn around the hook for the final loop. Instead, wrap the new color of yarn around your hook and pull the yarn through the remaining loop(s). Continue crocheting with the new color.

When a color change happens at the beginning of a row, changing colors means that you will need to introduce the new color (in the final “wrap and pull through”) on the last stitch of the previous row.
