You'll Never Go Back to the Old Way After You See This! 🧶🤩

Check out this great color changing method that gives a clean and easy transition. Use it for any stitch height, for rows and rounds, and any location on your piece! This would even be a great way to add a new ball of yarn when you run out of color.

Hi Friends! Have you seen this method before? I've fallen in love with it! Not only is it great for color changes, it would work great when you run out of yarn and want to attach another ball. Let me know what you think. xx

[@charlotteetienne1371]

Yes I’ve seen it before but you explain it better 👍🌺

[@dinahbarnes6335]

This is the first time I've seen it and you're an excellent teacher! Thank-you for showing me how to make my work look better! 💚💜🧡💛💙💖

[@delladearest2511]

Genius ❣️👏👏👏 now if only didn’t have to weave in ends !

[@angieh3036]

I haven’t see it but I’m gonn used it, I’m a sorta new crocheter and I learn so much new techniques thanks ❤

[@rebeccahogenkamp9061]

Wow. 60 years at this and I still learn new things. I love this option.

[@PlantPerson58]

Me too. Amazing, isn’t it? I love learning new ways to do things.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Me too!! 😀💕

[@trd830]

Me too! I always struggle with changing yarn but this sure will make it easier

[@matildafishes9931]

Me too! Thank you from Texas!!

[@Kbuzmin99]

Same here. 😱

[@CraftHarlot]

Smart! The color change is essentially the same, but without the weird fiddliness of changing halfway through a stitch! So smart!💙

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Exactly 😀🙌🏻🧶💕

[@thursaziegler2351]

I hear ya

[@sallybrown9194]

WHY did I never think of this?

[@JazzyJude]

BRILLIANT! How I love it’s smooth transition and clean look with little effort. I’ll NEVER go back to the other way now. THANK YOU for sharing this worthy tip.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Some have commented that is more fiddly but I’m just not finding it to be. I’ve done the other way for years and this definitely feels better. 😆💕

[@Southernmaidbrat]

Life will never be the same!!! Thank you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

That’s how I felt too 😂😂💕

[@brendanelson9635]

Love this and will try it soon. Thank you!

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

This blows my senior mind, as everything is more challenging for me now. YOU HAVE MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!! I love you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you so much 😀💕

[@michelea9142]

Awesome! After 60 years I finally have a better method of changing colors! Thank you so much!

[@kayejc]

Always "a first". I've been crocheting for about 50 years and battling the "color change." Thank you.😊😊😊

[@brenda3650]

Me too

[@DazzlingAction]

what yarn magic is this.

[@barbsdee3831]

That’s amazing! 😱 I was holding my breath as you pulled the loop from the old colour, I thought it was going to unravel. Thank you for educating us ❤🇬🇧

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I felt that fear the first time I saw it too 😂❤️

[@yvonnesaladino110]

Lol ~ you guys make me laugh! Just glad I’m not the only one who had that feeling. I’m coming back to crochet after setting it down about 20 yrs ago. I thought it’d be like riding a bike… not so much! & at 61 the brain not as quick as it used to be. Anyway ~ THANKS for sharing this wonderful technique, and thanks to everyone else for their cute comments 🙂

[@susieq7621]

Me too😬

[@tickledpink9052]

Hahahahaha!! Me too 😂

[@maryt2887]

This method definitely gives a smoother change. Wonderful!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Glad you think so! 😀👏🏻👏🏻💕

[@Denise11Schultz]

Wow, this feels really good. I especially like that the weave-ins don’t start from exactly the same point. It wasn’t just the bump from the same point that bothered me. The overall stretch and flexibility was not the same as the whole rest of the fabric. Having the weave-ins start from two points eliminates that reduced stretch. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Fantastic observation and point! 🙌🏻💕

[@n3mutta]

This is revolutionary and I know I’m sold. I also know straight away it’s a better method than the ones I currently use. Thank you so much.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Wonderful! 💕👏🏻

[@jennierollins8789]

WOW! Where has this been hiding? Wonderful tip. Thank you. ☮️🌍🌲

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I don’t know ! 🤣 it’s magic , though ,and seems like it should be more well known , right? Thanks, Jennie! 🧶💕💕

[@jennierollins8789]

Yes indeed. I love it when you give us these great tips. I am so astonished at what you know and how you teach. 🌷🌷♥️

[@paulaskuse559]

Omg that looks so a lot less fiddly. Definitely will be giving this a try. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@pjsebby3194]

As always, thank you for teaching us, your subscribers, a new technique of changing color. This is definitely a “game changer.” Be well and be safe❤️

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thanks so much, have a great week 💕

[@susieq7621]

This is the best yarn change I have ever seen! Thank you💕💕💕💕

[@IslandKate]

This is going to make the granny square journey I am about to embark on, so much easier! Thank you!❤️🤗

[@melissaannboone3639]

Thank you! This makes a lot of sense! I have always stayed away from color change mid row, fear of failure. I'm going to try it now!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

You’re definitely going to love it then 👍🏻💕

[@bridgetn2575]

Same here! I’m paranoid about the project falling apart if everything isn’t super secure. I wonder how these color change areas hold up in the wash. 🤔

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@bridgetn2575 based on the way the yarn is pulled through the two bands , seems like it would be awfully difficult for the yarn to pull out once it’s weaved in. I think we are on to a winner here 💕👍🏻

[@barbaracabrera207]

No, I haven't seen this before. But, I'm going to try it. It looks BETTER. I'm crocheting an afghan right now, so I have to join new skeins a lot. I notice the 2 ends being loose, make a messy stitch. Especially with soft yarn. So doing this way gives more structure to the stitch you're making during yarn change. I'm excited to try this. I've been "binging" your videos all morning!!! Great channel. TFS! I will report back after I try it. Austin TX USA

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yes, that’s it! It at least eliminates one of those straggly ends. Well put 🙌🏻 Thanks so much for watching 👏🏻💕💕

[@franklinmimi]

Hello from Houston 🩷💕💕

[@Vee-qq1pn]

Wow! I thought I knew pretty much every hack but THIS???? This is GENIUS! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Glad it was helpful! 😀👏🏻🧶

[@dianneperretta7112]

I just finished an afghan - 28 different squares of picture color changes. I wish I had seen this method before. It would have made all of the counting easier. I like it. Thank you.

[@JD-ht4wn]

First time seeing this and I have avoided color changing..until now. Holy Cow, you’ve changed the game!!!

[@adriannapacheco4602]

Amazing now I wont be scared to do multiple colors. Thanks for sharing.

[@BacktheBlue60]

Oh my stars and garters. I didn't think there was anything left to learn about crochet at my age. I love this!!❤

[@klclthouse]

Absolutely an amazing way to change or add more yarn! I am so going to be using this method from now on! Thank you for sharing!!! ♥

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Wonderful! 🧶💕😀

[@debbyd5729]

This is so much easier than fiddling with the yarn the old way! Thanks for sharing.

[@patsyschull2846]

I can’t wait to try this I have 8 blankets to make with lots of color changing this looks like a big game changer

[@krystenemanthey5812]

I have learnt a easier and tail free change of colour or same colour join. The only thing is that you have to work out how much yarn you would need to get to the colour change or same colour join. I found it on Tik Tok. If you would like to see if it works please let me know and I will send the link. I've found it to be amazing.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Always interested and I’m sure others would love to see it too. Please share in the comments when you have time 😀👏🏻💕

[@Katatawnic]

I would love to see this!

[@krystenemanthey5812]

Did you see the link I sent? If not please let me know as Play Hookey with Me said to put it in the comments section

[@silverwolf2666]

Mind blown! Ive been crocheting for almost 50 years, but just started doing amigurumi in the past 3 years. Im going to try this with those projects and see what difference it makes.😊

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Keep me posted, please!

[@NLY1WAY4U]

Wowee! What a good way to change colors. Hate using the magic knot as that little knot leaves a hard spot in crochet. Thank you!

Wow what a novel way of doing something so simple. Thanks for your kind explanation 😊🎉

[@denisejf]

This is great. I'll try it out next time I have to change colors. Thank you so much for showing this to us.

[@evelynestes2176]

Oh my goodness! I’m enthralled with this technique! Thank you, thank you!

[@jdscandi]

😮 I was today years old!!!!!! I have been crocheting over 15yrs wow thank you

[@pamelawilliams5186]

i really like it, the color change technique you use to makes it more secure looking, I will try this very soon. Thank you for sharing this technique

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I think you’re right, it’s a more secure join. I often pull too tightly and lose that top stitch when I’m changing colors with the original way. And although it doesn’t really come across on camera, I find it’s less fiddly to do 👍🏻💕

[@noonieshell5556]

Love this method clever lady thanks for sharing. I also love the calm way you teach us all, 🙏 Thanks again 😊

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you so much 😀💕

[@fluffycat3946]

What a time changer! Great tip.

[@duarteshelia]

I love this new tip !!! It’s the best one I’ve seen in years thank you for sharing

[@suebailey4263]

The 'new' way is exactly the same as leaving the 2 loops on the hook and adding in the new thread. and finishing the stitch. I've been doing this for over 53 years.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yes , that’s not where it’s different. This helps to maintain tension which is helpful especially for beginners. I’ve been using the other method happily for 30+ years but enjoy this alternative very much.

[@GreatLakesGal-Diane]

Never seen this before, can’t wait to give it a try!!! Thank you!!!❤

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yeah! 🙌🏻👏🏻💕💕

[@madmommy]

Mind blown! I ❤ this new technique! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you! Cheers! 💕

[@cynthiajones1461]

My new favorite method the instant I saw it! The old method you showed first was how I was taught and I was always extremely frustrated with how loose the stitches were and how I had to fiddle to make them look right. This method totally eliminates that problem.

[@TranquilityBase69]

You cannot imagine the amount of swearing I have spoken during my changing of colors in the past. And some swear words I just made up because I was so frustrated during yarn color changes. You have changed my life. Thank you. No need to swear anymore. I'm good. 😃
