How to Change Colors In Crochet
Change Colors In Crochet: Crochet has become a popular craft for a reason. With so many different designs and colors to choose from, it’s the perfect medium for creating any project you can think of.
However, if you want to change colors in your crochet stitches, it can be a bit of a challenge. In this blog post, we’ll show you five different ways to change colors in crochet with ease.
From using color changes as part of your design to altering your yarn choice altogether, there’s a method for you to get the desired results you’re looking for.
Change Colors In Crochet: What you’ll need
To change colors in crochet, you will need a yarn needle, a new color of yarn, and your crochet hook.
Thread the new color of yarn through the yarn needle and then pull the old color of yarn tight. Now you can begin crocheting with the new color.
How to crochet in the color you want
Crochet is a great way to add color and variety to your projects. You can change colors in crochet by simply changing the yarn you are using. You can also change colors by doing a slip stitch in the new color, or by doing a sc in the new color, followed by a ch 1.
To do a slip stitch in the new color, insert your hook into the next st before the ch1 sp and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook.
To do a sc in the new color, insert your hook into the next st before the ch1 sp and draw up a loop. Yarn over andpull through one loop on yourhook. Yarn over andpull through two loops on yourhook.
More tips for changing colors
If you want to change colors mid-crochet project, here are a few tips:
1. First, make sure your new color is fully mixed with the old color before beginning. If not, the new color will be a murky mess when you get to it!
2. Always use a new ball of yarn for each new color – this will help keep your stitches consistent and avoid accidental changes in color while crocheting.
3. To change colors on a single crochet stitch, hold the old color in your left hand and the new color in your right hand, then insert the hook into the first stitch of the row you want to change to (this will be the ‘start’ or ‘home’ stitch), yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook – this has now created a new ‘color loop’ on the crochet string. Repeat these steps for all stitches in that row (or round).
4. To change colors on a double crochet or triple crochet stitch, hold both colors together in one hand as you work them off onto a new ball of yarn, then repeat Steps 3 and 4 as appropriate.
How to Make
Changing colors in crochet is an easy process. To do so, simply slip the next color yarn over the existing color yarn and pull through both loops. You will now have two loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull through both loops.
Crochet Color Wheel
One way is to use the slip stitch Tunisian decrease technique. This decreases two stitches together and will change the color of your yarn. Another way is to use the hdc (half double crochet) stitch, which changes the color of both yarns used in the stitch.
To modify a color using the Tunisian decrease, work sc2tog over the first 2 stitches, then continue working your pattern as normal. To change colors using the hdc stitch, work 1 hdc into each st around.
