I find that floating my yarn when doing color work is the easiest for me to do so that's my preferred method. Plus I don't mind the somewhat messy back I think it kinda looks cool imo 😊 even for wearable items, but if it's a gift for someone rather then myself I just sew a lining if I want it to look finished or if it's relatively thin I'll just created a second crochet panel and crochet the two together.

[@AltKnots]

That's a great idea to sew in a lining!

[@heatherholly6563]

Thanks for this. I'm just getting ready to start a sweater that uses the Fair Isle technique. You have helped me so much!

[@Lanzafan1]

Thank you Kayla 😃 I've never even attempted one of these, though I've seen them and wanted to. Great tutorial, I think I'll have a go now 🥰🥰🥰

[@AltKnots]

I hope this helps gift you the confidence to try it out! There are so many amazing graphs out there to work up

[@hnelson5609]

As a lefthanded crocheter, I shudder to think how I would have to approach this. It's very pretty looking.

[@Adrian-qk9jh]

How do people even do it/learn it left handed 😭 i only see it sometimes and it's as foreign to me as UK terminology lol

[@Amy-qc7le]

I’m a left handed crocheter too. Idk how it happened because I do literally everything else right handed, and I was taught by two women who both crochet right handed. I’ve learned to just do the complete opposite of what the patterns say

[@hiimchuckiewannaplay]

Amazing, informative, straight to the point. I really enjoyed this as my next project is intarsia/tapestry work. Great timing on your part haha!

[@AltKnots]

Omg have so much fun with your project!🦇

[@oodlesacaboodles]

I need to get me one of those ring stitch counters! Thank you for all these tips!

[@yvonnesanders5925]

I’ve never done color change in crochet. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge ❤❤

[@AltKnots]

You’re so welcome! 🦇

[@littleblackinkdrop31]

Very useful, thanks a lot, you're a gem! :)

[@AltKnots]

Thanks for watching!

[@nataliabriceno7469]

Hello! thank you for these techniques! But, what happened for the next row? Do you turn your work? Do you start a new row without turning it? I'm so lost about that!

[@sandrarhule5354]

OMG! Just what I needed!

[@AltKnots]

Thanks for hanging out!

[@genevieve69]

Where did you get your ring stitch counter? I've looked all over but I can't find anyone that sells them. Love your video as always 🖤

[@t1naba1ley]

Lovely

[@nilsaaverhoff8188]

🎉 Thanks so much 🙏

[@AltKnots]

You are so welcome!

[@coldidarkness]

🖤Thank you

[@brookiez1019]

Could you please tell me where you’ve gotten your stitch counter? I looked in the description and could see any link. I have ran sacked Amazon and they have nothing like your stitch counter.

[@erikachiquis9580]

I was going to ask you if you did tapestry crochet. I started two months ago. I just did a skull and now I am doing jack skeletons face. I love this. I plan on doing a day of the dead sugar skull tapestry crochet blanket in the future.I also hope to learn to do mosaic crochet soon.

[@AltKnots]

Omg that blanket sounds amazing! Mosaic crochet is another one I love quite a bit.

[@christielamb2894]

This was really helpful, Kayla. Thank you so much! I've always wondered how the color work techniques differed and with your sis by side demo of each one makes it much easier to decide which one will be best for me to try with different projects. 🖤💀🧶

[@mirandaturpin7407]

I downloaded the pattern and I wonder what would be a good substitute for that yarn? Any suggestions?

[@devilish_vamp]

Genuinely curious, why are you working the pattern upside down? Does it help the design turn out better than if you did it from the bottom up?

[@AltKnots]

This pattern works with decreases on the side to create the shape. so if it were worked the opposite direction, there would need to be increases instead. It’s just the way the pattern was written🎃

[@devilish_vamp]

@@AltKnots ohh okay, thank you!!

[@lupitaayala3690]

The back looks horrible. Sorry no sorry.
