I have the ultimate trick for you all – you’re gonna love it!

Below I have an in-depth photo tutorial & video tutorial for my favorite color changing method.

I change colors a lot in crochet and was always afraid of stripes before trying out this trick – now I’m hooked and never going back!

It’s worth mentioning that this trick will work perfectly at the end of a row (as pictured), in the middle of your work, or even working in the round!

Finish that last stitch in your original color

Pull up that loop on your hook and remove your hook

Cut that working yarn from your first color and thread your new color through the loop

Tie that new yarn onto the loop with a simple knot (leave a tail long enough to weave in later

Pull your knot tight

And slide it over to the far right side of the loop, right next to your stitches

Replace your hook in the loop of your first color

Tighten that loop back up and get ready to make your next stitch

Yarn over in your new color (make sure its the working yarn, not the tail)

And continue with the stitch in the new color
