How Do You Change To A Different Color Within A Double Crochet Stitch?
Single colors are fine when you’re first learning the double crochet stitch. Changing colors at the end of a row or round is relatively straightforward. But sometimes you want to change colors in the middle. It’s important to follow the correct technique for a smooth transition. You don’t want to spend the time, energy and resources on something only to have a color change stick out like a sore thumb. Make a yarn-over on your crochet hook with your main color. You’re setting up your double crochet stitch for the color change. Slip your hook into the next stitch. Pick up all threads of the yarn so you don’t end up tugging at the stitch because a strand is caught in the row. Yarn over your hook a second time and slip the hook back out the stitch in the row. You should have the yarn on the hook and another loop on the crochet needle. Create another yarn over, giving you two loops on the needle and yarn on the hook. Pull the hook through the two loops, leaving you with the yarn on the hook
