    Nov 11, 2017 by Jennifer Renaud

    Color Change Tutorial

    All color changes are worked in the last pull thru of the last stitch of the previous color. Make sure to keep your color changes all on the wrong side of your work.

    Photo A: Shows the last stitch in the current color being worked before a color change. Insert your hook, pull up a loop.

    Photo B: Yo with the new color, pull thru all loops to complete the stitch.

    Photo C: Shows working a stitch in the new color. See the pink arrow. The arrow is pointing to the old color. Lay the old color on top of your work and work the new color around it. By working over the previous colors, you will not have floats on the backside of your work and it will be neater.
