Changing colour
Crochet colourwork can make for some
fantastic results. To change colour mid-row,
first work the stitch until the penultimate
step in colour 1. Yarn round the hook in the
new colour.
Tension squares are
particularly important
for projects where size
does matter, so be sure
to work up a square in
pattern that’s slightly
larger than 10cm^2.
Grab your ruler and
count your stitches.
Too many? Try a hook
size up. Too few? Try a
hook size down.
Pull through both loops to complete the
stitch and continue to work the next stitch
in the next colour.
Once secured, you can either fasten off
the old yarn, or keep it attached if you’ll
be working it in again soon – this is called
stranded colourwork.
