The Basic Explanation<\/h2>\n

To make a neat colour change, keep an eye out in your crochet pattern or instructions for the approaching change. As you make the last stitch in the old<\/em> colour, pause before the last step of that stitch. For the final ‘yarn over and draw through all loops on hook’, substitute the new yarn, so you draw the new<\/em> yarn through your loops. This gives a cleaner edge to the colour change.<\/p>\n
