 HOW-TO
CHANGING YARN COLOR

Not finishing the last stitch with the current color but rather with the color that comes next:
1. Prepare a slip knot with the new color.
2. On the stitch before the color change, start the stitch normally but stop before you pull through two loops on the
hook.
3. Drop the current color of the yarn. Pick up the new color and pull through the two loops on the hook to complete
the stitch.
4. The next stitch will be the first stitch of the new color.

one round below

----------
.
two round below
three round below

1. Identify front loop of row(s)/round(s) below (which previously crocheted on BLO)

2. Work specified number of single crochet stitches as directed in the pattern.
In this image: “work 2sc in FL of 1 rnd below, 2 sc in FL of 2 rnd below, 4 sc in FL of 3 rnd below.”
3. When returning back to regular crocheting in the main row/round, make sure to identify the next stitch straight
up from the current finished stitch.

some types of yarn. You may want to find an alternative way to flatten and stien your peice for a better shape. ◂
