CROCHET WITH COLOUR
You can also change colour in the round by using the
slip stitch technique. This method is best for dense
motifs and works by using the new yarn to join the
round together. After working the last stitch of a
round, insert hook into the first stitch of the round
(either the first dc or the top of the t-ch). Loop the
new yarn around the hook, leaving a long tail^1. Pull
the new yarn through both loops in the old yarn^2.
Use the new yarn to work the new round. Cut off the
old yarn, leaving a tail around 10cm long to weave in.Try out another way of changing colour in the round
