 How to Change Colors the Simple Way

A. Crochet two rows of single crochet in blue. When you get to the last stitch, stop short of completing the last step.

B. Grab the white yarn with your hook.

C. Pull it through to complete the stitch. Do not cut color blue yarn.

D. Work the turning chain with white as you normally would.

E. Finish crocheting two rows in white. When you get to the last stitch, leave the last step incomplete

in preparation for the next color change.

F. Remember how you didn't cut the blue when you were finished working the first two rows? Now

you can grab the blue with your hook, and pull it through to complete the stitch.

G. Work your turning chain in blue and continue with the above steps to change colors.
