Crochet Yarn Color Change for Slanted Edge Tutorial, Mastering Crochet Skills

[@SydMountaineer]

5:09 Look at screen at this timestamp - after making the white st changing over to green, *see the little bit of green showing* (it’s the right edge of the top loop of the green st from previous row) - What she does next hides that bit of green, by placing the working yarn in front of the hook vs behind which creates an extra loop, then yarns over like in typical crochet (not under) then pulls the yarn through and switches to green. That extra loop (the fact that she put the white yarn in front of the hook before yarning over), hides the right edge of the top of the green loop from row below. Excellent! This is why understanding stitch anatomy is so important, to help you identify problems and understand how to fix them.

[@Lynniescorner]

I'm one of those people who understand better when they know the detail. When they know how and why it works. Thank you for this clear concise video.

[@RetroStripes5269]

That’s a great tip. One thing I’ve noticed however is that you describe “yarn over” in audio but in the video demo you appear to be showing “yarn under”.

[@m0ther0ne]

It is yarn over, it’s just the way she turns her hook when catching the wool. We each have our own way of doing it 😅

[@PataPtichou]

​@@m0ther0neshe definitely does yarn under

[@Crochetedbymichi]

I thought the same - I call that yarn under as well Beautiful stitch tutorial tho great tip

[@cricos_crea]

​@@m0ther0nethe final effects are different in each way

[@TG-cv7em]

this is def yarn under, but I think as a foreign english speaker, just like me, she might think thats just the way you describe the action of pull through the new loop🤷🤗 I thought so several years until I realize that are two different effects😅

[@SydMountaineer]

This is a tricky thing to explain, but you explained it *extremely well!* 👏👏👏 You have a great understanding of the anatomy of stitches.

[@mirjanasavic4875]

"Nobel Price "for this method, Thank you very much!😀

[@channoonah]

THIS IS GROUNDBREAKING... THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!

[@osirismother]

I've been crocheting for 30 years and did not know this!!!! My mind is blown!!!!

[@candice713]

This typical look has always bugged me when color changing and I would go back and “embroider” stitches over these areas to make it look better. But this is a game changer! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@CrochetWithPJ]

You are an amazing teacher, and your explanations and demonstrations are fantastic. Please keep sharing more of your tips and techniques!

[@FeefooTV]

Wow! This is game changing for me! Such an easy to follow tutorial for what has been bugging me about color changes! Thank You! :)

[@lemmetalkaboutthis]

My cousin and I both crochet; she send me this yesterday after showing me so I could watch it Very good tutorial! Clear, to the point, we can clearly see the loops and yarn, the mini hook to "point" at what you're talking about is a really neat trick, and it's not super hard to do either! I've been thinking about doing plushies, too, so this really comes in handy!

[@amberdnz]

Great technique thank you! I just wonder how this affects the row when you start decreasing the colour?

[@lucianaman8859]

Same here... i was also thinking how do you decrease

[@sethjm]

The demonstration of the left side diagonal also applies to when you would decrease the white, just imagine the same technique with the colours reversed. You would make a stitch starting with 3 green loops (instead of white like in her example, because you'd be approaching the colour change from the green area) and then switch to white before closing the stitch.

[@bandminc1]

Do you have written instructions for your color change method? It's ingenious! Thanks for sharing.

[@jasminefortuin5402]

Thank you so much . Im so glad i found you. Best color change ever,and ive been crocheting for more than 50 yrs 🎉

[@MrsWyldie]

This definitely looks better but takes SO MUCH planning ahead 😅 I usually end up frustrated and give up 😂

[@SydMountaineer]

No, it’s like everything else, after you do it several times, you won’t need to plan - it’s exactly like the difference between discipline & habit: To change the way you do things takes discipline, but after you get accustomed to doing it, it becomes habit. 💕

[@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@SydMountaineer This is what I was basically going to say as well!! It can take daily practice for up to about 3 weeks, at least make something a habit, but, everyone is different and this habit may take a longer or even a little shorter time frame.

[@leehya5597]

Thanks for the tutorial !!! Do you have a method for decreasing ? In the video you are increasing the white part, but it is the same method to decrease the white part ?

[@saramariascurati5576]

Same question for me!

[@guitardrumsj]

Yes! I hope they would release a guide for that too

[@laurafletcher1653]

I would inmagine you would treat it like an increase/decrease of the other color. So you would use the top loop alternate color in the green color over the top of the white on the far left end.

[@holgazana23]

​@@laurafletcher1653ооо, спасибо!

[@marinowitz6707]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Would you be willing to do some other tutorials on this subject? It would be so helpful to see how you started this white shape at the bottom point. It would also be very helpful to see how you would be able to keep these clean color changes if you were going to be decreasing the number of white stitches, either turning this white shape into a diamond, or on a completely separate example, making a triangle that started with a wide bottom and got smaller each row to end in a point. Thank you for considering, and also many thanks for all of your work!

[@drzemkaxoxo]

hi. did you mange to make diamond shape?

[@InfiniteFur]

It looks so good! People who make miniatures are always so creative, I’m always impressed by what they use.

[@thelamebryant]

This has changed my life thank you

[@g.cosper]

Beautiful! I'm grateful you have shown us this 'clean' way to change colors on a slant

[@taherehashchi6663]

Great, beautiful and useful technique . Thank you for showing it. Your directions are very clear and easy to follow. Wish you more success.

[@motherstation]

I finally needed this for something! It came out perfect! At first it was hard to get the hang of it, but it worked beautifully! Thank you again!

[@haveagojo-joanne]

Dry tempted to redo the Xmas stocking I am half way through with this technique. Thanks for sharing.

[@clydecoberly8698]

Thanks. This video demonstrates a great upgrade th the smooth color transition. You did a really nice job

[@denisepettit8534]

WONDERFUL, THANK YOU. You have a new subscriber after I get done with typing. You are just as clear in your teaching as your method is at having clean sides. Thank you again. I'm saving this for I can't add it to my project now. Wow, this old dog learning yet another new trick.

[@joanmackie1735]

Thank you so much, I really needed this, as I recently abandoned a project because it looked messy. I’ll try again with your method.

[@gnomesteadfarms]

Omg where was this video the last few months I needed this. Thank you

[@motherstation]

THAT'S BRILLIANT! Definitely keeping this one in my arsenal! Thank you so much!

[@orkidiabriyyante]

This tip is so so game changing. Tysm!!

[@sandrinou1329]

Thank you good idea 🥰 I hope I will remember of this for my futur projects. And I hope I will not make a mistake for counting stitches in both colors 🙄

[@lyndiane7899]

this is awesome. i had a project like this but it looked so bad that i just abandoned it 😭 now i can redo it. Thank you so much

[@ninian7622]

Thank you so much for the video omg- I just made a project that had a big problem with the jagged edges and now I know how not to repeat that mistake!!! Such a relief I found an easy vid to explain it, I struggled so much before to understand similar techniques:")

[@lynnburns3715]

That was an excellent tutorial! I’ve always been bothered by the way my transitions look. Thanks!

[@KahlilEstureno-wb6hp]

What a wonderful technique!!! Thanks for a very detailed tutorial. 👏

[@patsymutiso]

Very Interesting! I think I might get confused thinking about how to get the right side correct, but I might still give this a try in some of my designs. Thanks for sharing!

[@emhoj97]

This will finally let me make the diamond pattern I want on my snakes, thank you!❤

[@cindyherget5196]

Excellent tutorial ! You have explained my problem because you included the only way on both right and left… now I have learned my new way especially the left side. Thank you. I just subscribed…. I saved this clip and will search for mor I forgot my brain

[@woodstock8d]

This is very useful tips 👍🏼 How do u do it with HDC and DC?

[@Donteatacowman]

This looks really fantastic and easy to follow... wrote down the instructions for later. I'll have to check your channel to see if you have any info on vertical lines.

[@Josie-a-cat]

Thank you so much. I'm struggling with this problem recently and you nail right into the answer for me ❤❤

[@FarhanaFaruq]

Great tip, thank you. Very well explained.

[@artgun01]

That's a tip I really wanted to know. Thank you so much!

[@YashibaSouma]

Wondering if this work in flat crochet as well as in the round

[@stringswithoutguilt-swg726]

I was trying to figure this out too. My return rows make a jagged edge too.

[@YashibaSouma]

@@stringswithoutguilt-swg726 right. It's so frustrating 😫. I'm gonna test it after I get done with my current wips. (None color changing sadly lol) I'll check back in when I do if I remember haha.

[@cindycook5348]

This is a game changer. I am working on a fox pumpkin, which is flat to start. I am going to try this method. Seems to be the best one I have seen, even in the round. Thank you for the video!

[@savannah4439]

This is so helpful - thank you!! For my future reference 3:00

[@donaurraca2497]

Thank you so much, this tutorial was so helpful. I just wonder how did you do the white stitch in the row where there's only one white stitch. Thank you again.

[@yummyicecream4172]

This is my concern too, have you solved it out?

[@rebeccabagley5446]

Great job on this video and thanks for sharing! Very helpful stuff.

[@timainwhitewolf]

Oh this is interesting! Thank you so much for this video, I will definitely try this!

[@DarleneAustin3424532]

I love this ! But my question is can this been done on flat lapghans?

[@lanlam-nunes6580]

hello, thank you for sharing your great techniques. How do you do decrease?

[@susieq5201]

Going to try this along side with your video❤❤

[@hoanglan517]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TECHNIQUE. IT'S VERY USEFUL

[@stringswithoutguilt-swg726]

This is a very interesting technique. It seems like it would only work in the round, carrying the white loosely across the back of the work. Is there a way of fastening the floats down so little fingers can't get snagged in them? For projects in the round however, it looks great, and I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing!

[@katarinakopunekova]

thank you for sharing, very clever method and very well explained. i will definitely try. 👍👍

[@kathrin2680]

Cool. Perfect solution. Thanks a lot for this tip.

[@connieann7969]

Thank you for your video.. this is amazing. I can use this to my amigurumi project.. ❤❤❤

[@JeimiJamie]

Such an awesome tutorial! The messy look is one reason I get annoyed with color work. Problem solved! I can't wait to try it! Do you use the yarn under method specifically when doing color work to create a tighter space that will help prevent color peeking through as well? Or is it just your preferred amigurumi style? Thanks for posting this! It's great!

[@patricia1463]

[@azizaazzahra7011]

[@PandasData-j6d]

Great tutorial. Very insightful!

[@fuenmartinez9239]

¿y qué pasa con el hilo blanco cuando tejes la parte verde? ¿La dejas y la tomas al inicio del blanco? Te quedarán las hebras sueltas por detrás, ¿no? Yo intente hacer una cabeza llevando el hilo estilo tapestry y se notaba bastante por delante. ¿Tienes alguna explicación al respecto?

[@bubble_bubble1]

Si, así es dentro se ven los hilos sueltos. Y si ajustas demasiado, de formarás la pieza, por eso se los deja algo flojos. O puedes cortar los hilos. También puedes tejer tratando de cubrir el hilo de atrás, para que al menos no queden sueltos.

[@robertanizzardo1262]

I used worst weight acrylic yarn and a 4mm crochet hook the last row I did a reverse sc.

[@MoonRover-3]

👏👏👏👏 super technic! Thank you!
