The more techniques you master, the better your work will look.
With this photo tutorial you will learn a nearly invisible way to carry our yarn along the sides when you crochet stripes.
Materials
- three colors of Pima Cotton yarn
- 5 mm crochet hook
Instructions
On the last stitch of row 1, change to the second color and on the last stitch of row 2, change to the third color.
It’s important to leave the strand of the previous color between the turning chain and the first stitch to hide it.
At the end of row 3, bring up the strand of the first color that you dropped after finishing the first row.
To do this, pass the strand of the color that you’re about to use over the strand you’re using to make the last stitch, then move on to work that last stitch.
Continue working the stitch into the turning chain as you normally would.
In the second part of the stitch, use the strand of the new color to end the stitch with the color you will use in the next row.
Again, make sure that the strand of the previous color is between the turning chain and the first stitch of the new row.
