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
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.
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. 😆💕
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 ❤🇬🇧
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 🙂
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.
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
@@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 💕👍🏻
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.😊
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.
I Love this idea I've kind of struggled changing colors and then haven't always been happy with the results. Thank you for this tutorial. Can't wait to try it.
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 👍🏻💕
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.
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.
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.
Worked great in the round with single crochet too! Im a new crocheter and switching colors was so clunky. I thought there had to be a better way and found this! Thanks for sharing!😊
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.
For all the years of crocheting and learning new things, right now I’d have to admit this is at the top of the list, absolutely shocking how easy. You are a genius, thank you so much for not keeping this gem to yourself and because of sharing this I have to follow, again thank you so much.
Wow, this is mind-blowing! Now that i am older. Not raising kids. I pick this back up. Of crocheting, and wow, what a blast! Making things for the family!. Wonderful tip!!!
I’ve been taking a few day break from crocheting because my hands and elbow been aching but I’m 24 years old and your videos are super inspiring , I was already inspired but even more now !!! There’s always new things to learn ! I been watching your videos and you are such help with a lot and have amazing creativity, thank you !
So happy to read this, thank you for telling me , KitKat! I’m glad you’re getting your crochet mojo back. Take good care of your joints. It happened to me too 🧶💕
Ohhhhh! That is so great! I’m trying it tonight! God bless you for posting this! (Been crocheting for 51 years, never saw such a beautiful way to change colors! You are amazing! ♥️🙏🕊✝️🙋♀️💜🕎💕🌹
OMG! I just tried it, and I LOVE it! Changing color/yarn will never be the same, yay! It's so simple, and so easy. Why haven't I seen this before now🤔 Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tip😊
I love this one and I use it more and more. I do think it goes better if you complete one or two stitches in the new color before you pull that loop of the old color through. It helps lock in that stitch and keeps the tension more even.
Wow, after all these years of awkward feeling color changes to find an easier way. Thanks!💜. Never thought to do this, just changed colors the way I was taught. Can't wait to use it!🎉
I watched this video last month when you posted it. I've just started a sharp chevron blanket, changing colors every two rows. I couldn't remember exactly how you did this and my cat was on my lap and my phone nowhere near me. I did four color changes the old way. Today, before I continued on, I watched this again. The color change went so smoothly! Thank you so much!!🥰
Well, I understand. It’s mandatory to stay put when your cat is on your lap. It’s the law! 😺😆 I’m glad you were able to try it later and that you liked it. I love it so much … I haven’t gone back! 🧶💕
I love this! It's going to be my go-to technique for color changes. I've been crocheting for 50+ years and am more excited about using this than I've been since I learned how to make foundation chain stitches. 🥰
Wow this has to be one of the best technics I have ever seen! I deter from color changes just because I can’t stand the hassle of switching this looks so easy I can’t wait to get home and try it!
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. 😃
Thanks for the great innovation. It's a tiny change, but a welcome one. I've been crocheting the same old way for decades. Now that we have TH-cam and Facebook groups, I'm learning dozens of new stitches and better ways, like this, to do things. Maybe the best part is that seeing new ways to do things has me thinking about new ways to do things on my own. That has to be a good thing, keeping my aging mind limber.
Wow, thank you so very much for sharing this. I have such a hard time making my yarn switches look good, especially when making a blanket. I'm most definitely going to use this new technique, actually in one more row, and I'm due for a color change.😉
I learned how to graphghan a few years back & I can't wait to try this on a portrait graphghan , especially with all the color changes!! I'm so happy & thank you for share this new color change method!!❤❤❤
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
Yes I’ve seen it before but you explain it better 👍🌺
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! 💚💜🧡💛💙💖
Genius ❣️👏👏👏 now if only didn’t have to weave in ends !
@@delladearest2511 🤣🤣🤣
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 ❤
Wow. 60 years at this and I still learn new things. I love this option.
Me too. Amazing, isn’t it? I love learning new ways to do things.
Me too!! 😀💕
Me too!
I always struggle with changing yarn but this sure will make it easier
Me too! Thank you from Texas!!
Same here. 😱
Smart! The color change is essentially the same, but without the weird fiddliness of changing halfway through a stitch! So smart!💙
Exactly 😀🙌🏻🧶💕
I hear ya
WHY did I never think of this?
Life will never be the same!!! Thank you!
That’s how I felt too 😂😂💕
Love this and will try it soon. Thank you!
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.
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. 😆💕
Awesome! After 60 years I finally have a better method of changing colors! Thank you so much!
Always "a first". I've been crocheting for about 50 years and battling the "color change." Thank you.😊😊😊
Me too
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 ❤🇬🇧
I felt that fear the first time I saw it too 😂❤️
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 🙂
Me too😬
Hahahahaha!! Me too 😂
Me, too.
This blows my senior mind, as everything is more challenging for me now.
YOU HAVE MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!! I love you!
Thank you so much 😀💕

Fantastic observation and point! 🙌🏻💕
I don't understand what u mean. How do u weave in the ends? Do u use a hook or needle. The ends look so short?
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.
Wonderful! 💕👏🏻
Oh my stars and garters. I didn't think there was anything left to learn about crochet at my age. I love this!!❤
WOW! Where has this been hiding? Wonderful tip. Thank you. ☮️🌍🌲
I don’t know ! 🤣 it’s magic , though ,and seems like it should be more well known , right? Thanks, Jennie! 🧶💕💕
Yes indeed. I love it when you give us these great tips. I am so astonished at what you know and how you teach. 🌷🌷♥️
Thanks for Tiktok crocheters😊
@@P.A.S.77 I saw it on Instagram so I say thank you to Insta crocheters! 👏🏻💕
I am new to crocheting and appreciate any tips. New subscriber!!!
First time seeing this and I have avoided color changing..until now. Holy Cow, you’ve changed the game!!!
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❤️
Thanks so much, have a great week 💕

Yes, that’s it! It at least eliminates one of those straggly ends. Well put 🙌🏻
Thanks so much for watching 👏🏻💕💕
Hello from Houston 🩷💕💕
Omg that looks so a lot less fiddly. Definitely will be giving this a try. Thanks for sharing 😊
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!
You’re definitely going to love it then 👍🏻💕
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. 🤔
@@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 💕👍🏻
This method definitely gives a smoother change. Wonderful!
Glad you think so! 😀👏🏻👏🏻💕
Amazing now I wont be scared to do multiple colors. Thanks for sharing.

You’ve changed the game of color changing. You rock, thanks so much!
This is the best yarn change I have ever seen! Thank you💕💕💕💕
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!!! ♥
