Would really appreciate a video on changing colours in granny squares so you can have multicoloured ones that aren't the star ones! I have learned all my crochet from you so when I tried a different channel to learn this is felt so odd haha, no one explains crochet as well as you do I have found!

[@lui1741]

How do you make sure the tail end of the new color doesn't slip back out? I'm having problems with everything being too loose on the colour changes :(

[@bellacococrochet]

It can be tricky to get the hang of at first but the trick is to hold onto the tail end with the hand holding your yarn as you work. Every five or so stitches you can stop crocheting and gently pull on the tail end to make sure it's not too loose and poking out in between the stitches 😊

[@preciousbeautyj6924]

Thx for this tutorial, I knew how to change a new color but the extra was sooo helpful. Thx again.

[@soostark3719]

What about the bits of colour that are out of place , like for example maybe the second row of orange when you look at it you can see there is orange bits sticking out , so not in line . Is there a way to eliminate this to stop it from looking so messy ? If you get what I mean ? Thank you

[@daytonpyro]

tks

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome :)

[@Jane-ow7sr]

I really needed this, I'm making a blanket and I'm nearing the start of the color change row (it's a big square in the middle of the blanket) And I have no idea how to change color, especially since it's popcorn stitch, single crochet, and then different color popcorn stitch. Which idek how I'll do that

[@bellacococrochet]

It's really simple to change colour - as shown in the video you just need to pull through the new colour when making the final part of the last stitch. For the pattern you describe, you'll need to pull through the new colour to complete the single crochet, and then pull through your new colour when working the final part of the popcorn stitch. Instead of cutting your yarn, I would recommend carrying the yarn along by working over it 😊

[@aishasqualli3958]

Do you have a video for how to work a border into that with the tail? Also how would you handle the end of yarn that is left over if you’re not doing a border (so it wouldn’t just be hanging there lol)?

[@bellacococrochet]

Before you work a border I would recommend sewing in all your ends as shown in my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKK7dpaHn8RjgpI That way you won't have to contend with bits of yarn getting in the way 🥰

[@grillgamer6111]

Thank you so much for this video! it is super helpful for my first project using multiple colors. What should i do if i am using two colors A and B but i run out of the A color and need to attach more? Thank you again :)

[@bellacococrochet]

You’re welcome! 😊 If you run out of a colour you can attach a new ball of yarn in exactly the same way as you would if you were changing colours.

Do you have a tutorial on color changes in the round?

[@sky-annabryant9575]

I always struggle with changing the colour and securing them when I finish with it this is a life saver!!! Also what wool do you use and where do you get it??

[@bellacococrochet]

Glad it was of help to you :)

[@pilotstudymd]

When you are done with the second colour (in the second method) and want to switch back to the first colour for the rest of the design- how do you finish off the second colour? Just cut the thread? do a knot? Thanks!

[@bellacococrochet]

Yes, just cut it leaving a long tail that you can then sew in securely 😊

[@_M_e_l_O]

Is there any disadvantage to weaving in the ends this way as you work? I’m wondering why this isn’t typically the way it’s done because it seems so much easier.

[@bellacococrochet]

Depending on the stitch you're working, the ends can sometimes be visible if you look really closely when they're weaved in as you go like this. It's down to personal preference whether or not this is something that would bother you, and whether you'd prefer to sew in your ends the traditional way instead 😊

[@maddpixies]

Does the half double help with the project not get to stiff when having yarn run fully thru as ya go for mod color switches? My one raven square pattern became thick and stiff cuz of carrying yarn thru.

[@bellacococrochet]

If you’re pulling through the new yarn as you’re making the last part of the stitch you should find that this doesn’t affect the thickness of the work at all, as you’re not pulling through the old yarn so it’s a single strand still. I do have another technique for changing colours that you might like to have a look at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4W9oZSCh7SfeaM 😊

[@allisonyarn1884]

I see the peach through in the back ad when you go the other way it will show in the front I don't know how to fix it it's navy and white Yankees banket

[@bellacococrochet]

If you're carrying your yarn along and working over it, it's important to give it a little tug every few stitches to keep it nice and taut (but not so hard that it causes the work to bunch up). This will make the colour less noticeable 😊

[@Jenflower]

Fab video as always! Don't suppose you have a video showing colour change in the middle without having to carry the yarn at all please? I'm making a blanket which is 121 stitches wide and has 3 stars and a moon in random places on it, which i want yellow, but i don't want to carry the yarn through 90 odd stitches to do the next colour change on the next row (really hope this makes sense? 😅) thank you

[@bellacococrochet]

You can change colour in the normal way by pulling through the new colour in the last part of the stitch, but then leave your contrast colour loose instead of carrying it along. When you work back along the row you can pick it back up, but you may not be able to hide the colour change as well as you can by carrying it along 😊

[@jildaudijkstra9451]

What do you do with the lose ends in the middle of your work when you’re finished? I don’t understand that part :(

[@bellacococrochet]

You can sew them in as you normally would 😊 I have a tutorial showing how to sew your ends in here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naGnXo2em796l9E

[@AlitaPark16]

Wooow!

[@laurent3415]

Thank you for the easy tutorial. What's the neatest way to change colors for a hat where the bottom edge will turn up at the bottom? I'm working the rows verticle to make it ribbed instead of spiraling and there will be an alternating color band at the bottom.

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome 😊 I think for a hat worked in the way you describe, I would work a simple border of double crochet stitches along the edge. If you have a look at the tapestry crochet technique, you can alternate your two colours as you go. I demonstrate how to work tapestry crochet in my cushion CAL here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-bipyflNxjd6M

[@laurent3415]

@@bellacococrochetThank you. I will give it a try. I think the yarn for the first hat is a bit too chunky for it, but I should be able to do it on the next two that use a lighter weight yarn.

[@sarinashah7131]

can you still change color in the middle of a row using single crochet or uk double crochet?

[@bellacococrochet]

Yes, you can use the same technique 😊

[@sarinashah7131]

@@bellacococrochet so would i insert the new color yarn after making the first part of the stitch when i single crochet?

[@brrprosavida]

I m sorry but once you are done adding your coloured section, how do you hide the remaining row? thank you and awesome video

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome 😊 You should carry across your non working yarn by crocheting over it as you go; once you've finished the contrast colour you can either carry it on to the end of the row or drop it to the back of your work, ready to pick back up again on the following row 😊

[@talv64]

this is not relevant to this video but could you give advice or do video on how to sell your projects? i live in small town of 10,000 people and hard to sell a crochet throw that is 35 by 45 inches for 40 dollars which is only twice my cost. 75% of people here are low income.

Is there a way to change color with slip knot?

[@bellacococrochet]

To change colours I would recommended using the method shown in this video, or trying a magic knot. I have a tutorial for that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2bLoqKIZbB9fqM but bear in mind that the colour change can be less precise with this method 😊

[@karrihartman4996]

What about if you are working on the round

[@bellacococrochet]

If you're working in the round you can still change colour in the way shown here, by pulling through your new colour when making the final part of a stitch 😊

When I want to make something similar, the threads at the bottom become short and the threads at the top become longer. What is the reason? 😢🧶🌝⚘

[@bellacococrochet]

It may just be the way you are pulling on the yarn as you crochet; if you hold the back of the threads it helps to keep them the right length 😊
