I love it but am very slow in absorbing the steps, is there a way you can show the sequencing in slow motion?
Hey Carol! I actually have this whole tutorial written online with Gifs and images that might help! clubcrochet.com/crochet-stripes-perfectly-amigurumi/
You can slow the video down. On a phone or tablet: tap the 3 dots up in the right hand corner, then tap "playback speed", then select 0.25x (quarter speed) 0.5x (half speed) or 0.75 (three-quarters speed). On a laptop or PC you can change it by clicking on the settings (cog wheel) icon which sits at the bottom right hand side. Of course, the sound track will be slowed down too but the video is perfectly clear. Hope this is helpful.
Carol Gatfield a just the playback speed
@@jgomes7195 I am so grateful you posted this reply. I have been watching TH-cam videos for years and had NO clue that you could change the playback speed. Thank you so much!!
This video has been crochet life changing(: all the steps are so clear and easy to follow!
1:43 : half colour change
3:01 : no-cut join
5:46 : invisible join
just for convenience, feel free to use it too! :)
Ur pfp😩
Thank you, that’s super helpful :)
thanks
wish this comment can be pinned so I can't lose track
@@shericelimTake a screenshot!!!! That’s what I do…..Then I also write it down on a sheet of paper and put it in my Crochet Binder for future reference!!!!!!!!! Along with all my written Patterns…..
I was crocheting a little bee and I had to change the color of my yarn after I changed the yarn my stripes weren't like it was supposed to look like. I wish I found this video sooner! But this definitely helped, thank you club crochet!
looks like i'm not the only one crocheting bees!
Same!
Same the instructions I was following before finding this video just told me to change colors thats it no explaining how or anything this video really helps I can now make my army of cute bees
Yes me too! I just made 2 bees one for me and one for my boyfriend and the stripes arent entirely even I and so going to be thankful for this video (I just started it now )
Game changer!
The half colour change just completely blew my mind. Absolutely genius! I'm in awe
Thank you! I'm a 11 year old new crocheter and I'm planning to make a bee and this video really helped me!
Hehe
hello! im guessing your 12/13 now, how ru doing? :)
@@littlecrisp8164 Hi!! im 12 now and i still love chrocheting! i dont have much yarn atm because it’s pretty rare to find good quality yarn in Jamaica. I’ll try my best to get some more ASAP!
Also.. thanks for checking up on me kind stranger!💕
I keep forgetting that I'm 17 because i get so excited seeing someone young also do the things i did when i was 11
Yo thats so cool, keep going bro!! Crochet is lowkey such a fun addiction, i hope your crochet’s going well
How is it going!? I’m barely getting into chrochet🤙🏼
I’ve never considered a technique like the half color change. Wow!
“After watching this, I concluded that I don’t care about the unevenness as much as I thought.” -wise woman on TH-cam
THIS IS GENIUS. I'M SO GLAD TH-cam RECOMMENDED THIS TO ME. I always hated making stripes. Now it can look beautiful.
I’ve been trying to do half colour change in the round whilst increasing and it’s quite tricky, the twist I’ve learnt is vital. It will take more practice but I love the straight line finish! Perfect for the zebra I’m making
Sorry to reply to a two year old comment but what's the difference between twisting and not twisting the yarn while doing this? I find it difficult to hold so i've been doing without for a little bit but I feel there must be a reason lol
Hi. How did you do this with increases?
Thank you for this!! I learned that when changing colors, if you hold one color to the back of the work every time and the other color to the front every time, it doesn’t twist like that! It helped me a lot.
But then you only crochet in the front loops. How do you avoid twisting your yarn balls all up?
I started making amigurumi last December after a friend sent me a pinterest link of a little Eeyore she wanted for Christmas 😂 This is a nifty little trick! This was a "issue" that I didn't know had a solution to it! 👏
The half color change is life changing! I can change colors so much nicer now!
Thank you so much for this technique, my jaw was dropping when I saw the result
The 1/2 stitch ( bottoms one color and tops second color) is a really amazing technique. Thank you for showing it 😊
Just like another commenter, I TOO was crocheting a chubby bee as a baby shower gift and I wish I saw this video because it came out looking weird on its belly where the seam was. Then after I gifted the bee, the pre-existing toddler older brother found the bee and claimed it as his own. 🤣 He sleeps with it and everything, its adorable. So NOW I am crocheting a SECOND, slightly smaller bee for the baby. I'm done with all of the color changes already, but due to my laziness I kind of discovered the no yarn change method. But it still looks a little janky because I've never before heard of half color changes. I work in a school and the bee is VERY POPULAR. So it seems as if I have quite a few requests for more bees 😂 I'm so happy to have found this video because it will improve all of my future bees! THANKS! Btw I made an account on crochet pals but I still cant download the pdf.
Thank you very much. I think I'll be using your first technique from now on, I don't mind the tiny inconsistency, it's still heaps better than the usual method, and your second technique makes me itch, I loathe yarn ends.
Yah I honestly very very rarely use the second technique because it's just not worth the work haha. I'm glad the video helped!!
This is the only well done youtube video on how to do color changes the right ways thank you!! And thanks for the bee pattern!! While I was watching this I literally thought to myself that I was gonna look up cute bee patterns to practice this technique with and now I don't have to!! ❤️❤️❤️
Every now and then I like to come back to this tutorial. I never needed it before but I just know I will some day
Thanks for being subscribed for so long by the way!! You rock!
I come back to this video ALL THE TIME and use the technique on all kinds of projects. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much, you can't imagine how helpful this was!
You taught me the best techniques I know! Amazing video, it's so clear for us to understand, thank you so much!!
Tears of joy!! Just amazing!! Bee army! Here w come! Thanks!
Dude, this is just a message of appreciation! I love to see young blood and guys in our crafting community, so you are double whammy. Im so happy! Keep being stellar, love from Finland :)
You just made my day! Thanks for the kind comment. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ClubCrochet That was my goal. I love it when my friends ask how I learned to make even stripes, I can tell then how a young Sir taught me the secrets :)
I just used this technique for the panda in Sarah Abbondio's amigurumi book and it made such a big difference 🙌🏽🙌🏽
How have more people not seen this?! I'm super glad I was looking through your videos again and this is an absolute gem. I'll be using these techniques in my future projects to make my work more clear. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the kind comment! I just started a brand new series called Amigurumi 101 that you might enjoy :) amigurumi101.com
Thank you so very much! Easily understood and great to have so many methods in one video.
The difference is incredible with the half color change thank you so much! Is it an official technique taught "in books" I never read or is it you who came up with it? In any case the explanations are crystal clear even if it remains hard anyway haha
This is absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for helping make my crochet Pokeballs seamless. 😁
You're absolutely welcome :) I'm going to be adding a pokeball pattern to this channel really soon actually!!
@@ClubCrochet oh gosh!! I've subscribed and turned on notifications. I can't wait. You're my new favorite channel.
Who are you? How have I missed your TH-cam stuff for months? This is fantastic. Thank you so much.
Hahaha I'm Louie! I actually have another channel called Louie's Loops where I make weird stuff with crocheting but no tutorials here if you wanna see more stuff that I make: th-cam.com/users/louiesloops
Thanks! I've been trying to figure out a pattern for a little amigurumi I want to make for myself, and this will be perfect for the stripes!
This tutorial was immensely helpful! Thank you!
No problemo!
Hi, i subscribed just for this reason. I always jog my colour's , but not any more thank you very much..Kim
owww thanks. this thecnique its so perfect. From Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you!!!!
Oii
This is gold. I can't believe I just discovered this
Love the techniques - so good of you to share your knowledge
This video came across and I watched it you're very easy to learn from I am learning amigurumi but I also crochet and still new to that but I found your tutorials very easy to watch I joined your crochet club as a member I can't wait to watch the upcoming I'm trying to ghost 👻 now having a little trouble but with your help I know I can get it done thanks for being a great channel
Thanks for this video, I struggled a lot with my amigurumi until I saw this video..
Will definitely help me in my next project.. thanks a lot
i love this really helpful i did the invisible color change and hid the tails between the rounds by crocheting over them
It's amazing to have a man teaching me about crochet!
❤
Your tutorials are brilliant. Thanks for taking time to do this.
Thank you for the nice comment!
Why don't they teach stuff like this at school... instead of leaving people like me frustrated by ugly color changes ;D
Thanks for a very easy-to-follow tutorial, I'm definitely going to give this a try.
I know it can be done because I see you doing it, but it is so hard to learn. Will keep trying😊
Hi! I understand the tutorials in full, and in practice, when you do it I end up with a large stripe. When doing the first round (with only the upper top being green and letting the bellow "half-of-the"sc purple = complete sc) you are adding an "half"-sc in purple and the top in green - that results in the bottom always being higher. I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying. When doing the comparison..imagine you have 3 rows of one color, and 3 rows of another.... making this method in changing color, you will be adding another row to the first color, since changing will give a little of the first color (bottom part of the sc) and then a little bit of the last color.
I understand what you said and I noticed that too. I still think it's worth doing the half color change because the cut is so much neater. I just accepted to have rows of one of the color a bit "thicker"
Got the technique right in the first 10 sec, thanks for the clear explaination!
Ooh that half colour change looks great!! Can't wait to try it on my next project 😁
This is brilliant! I so dislike when my stripes get crooked. Thank you so very much. Will need to practice but that is one of the things I love about crochet, never stop learning and trying new things. Keeps it very interesting 😎
i got frustrated with the no cut version because i kept getting additional stitches, so i decided to just go with the half-colour changes for now. turns out that you can strategically weave in the leftover tail of the second colour to smooth out the gap between the rows. it looks super neat :)
Thank you so much. This was great brush up on my skills. I suck at Amigurumi but I am going to try this.
I wish I found this vid yesterday lol but this is really helpful, I'll try it out and see how it turns out. Thank You!
thanks for this tips ! it help me a lot for my projects now
this video helped me alot on my striped bee i was recently making for a friend
OH...MY...GOD!!! I am in awe. This is perfect! I love this technique! It's gonna make my stormtrooper look perfect! Thank you for this!

YOU ARE THE BEST TEATCHER EVER. THANKS A LOT!
Is the half color change row an extra row or does it count as the first row with the new color on the pattern?
How have I never seen this before? Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing! The instruction given on this video is very clear and easy to follow, even for me. Lol. Very professional and well done. Bravo! Thumbs up and subscribed.
Mind blown.... been a long time since I learned a new crochet technique.
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for sharing this technique!! A game changer for me as I've been looking everywhere for the best jogless colour changing technique! Just one question... this techniques means you get an extra half row of the "old" colour and a half a row less of the "new" colour right??... so do you count the first half row (i.e. the half colour change) as your first row of the new colour? Thanks again!! :)
Hmmmm.. good question, yah I guess you would count the first half row as your first row of the new color. I guess it's mostly semantics though.
This popped up at an eerily perfect time. I was crocheting my very first stripe on an amigurumi yesterday and I was like “shoot I did something wrong. Why is the stripe lopsided?” And then I wake up and TH-cam was like “boy do I have a video for you”
thank you! the tutorial is as perfect as the stripes 😉👌
I normally cut the yarn and knot the new and old colour together good to know my other options
I've been crocheting for years and I never knew any of this, thanks so much!
Great techniques! Thank you for sharing!
You're very welcome!
Perfecto.

Great color change technique!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!!! I really appreciate the no cut technique. I am hoping to make a character from an anime, danganronpa. monokuma, a teddy bear which is half white and white black, split right in the middle!
Oh yah!! I know that character!! You totally can, you just might need to make your piece sideways / more of an oval pill shape. This is awesome! I can't wait to see!!
Love how everyone's making bees including me
The best way, the best teacher 🤩👏👏👏
Geez how did you come up with this technique???????!!!!!!! I commend all the people like you for sharing your informative tips…..you are so creative! I am not….😂. But ty for posting this…..I am working on Amigurumi dolls and Animals and this technique will definitely come in handy…………
I ❤ your explanation to make it even & neat your crochet especially for changing colors thank u so much ! 👍☺
Thank you im just learning this !
Awsome tips! Thank you very much.
Thank you this helped so much ☺️
I have a pattern that changes colour half way ( rounds 1-15 blue, 16-30 yellow). Noticed when I finished my last round of blue and then did the half colour change for round 16 that I had too much blue. So if you’re trying to make as close to exact halves as you can, do the half colour change on the last round of your first colour ( for me that would be 15, not 16)
Thank you! I was hoping somebody in the comments would explain better about when to do the half color change :)
Thank you for this tutorial video.
thank you for the tutorials but can you make a video of showing how to make the cube because i want to make it please🥺🥺🥺🥺📌✂️ and love your content😱🥰😳
Great suggestion! I'll work on one!
hi im new to crochet! when you do the no cut join, does the slip stitch and chain count as 2 separate stitches from the normal sc count? for instance if I had 18 stitches would it be a slipstitch, chain, and then 16 stitches? or would the 18 stitches start after the color change?
Yooooo those bees are so cute!!!!
Haha thank you!!!
La tecnica migliore che io abbia sperimentato. Grazie.
Very interesting! I never knew about half color changes.
Thank tou so much! I love this technique and the effect is very neat, but I have a question.. After finishing my first round with the new colour I always find myself with two more stitches compared to the previous round, is it normal or am I doing something wrong? If I need to work in circle without making increases it’s a problem if I have 2 or 3 more stitches that are not supposed to be there.
I’m very new to crochet and amigurumi so I’m sure that I’m not understanding something right, and I’d be very glad if you could help me. Thank you…
I know that this is an old comment but I'm a new crocheter and I'm having this same issue, have you figured it out since then? 😊
Many, many thanks brother for joining change colour tricks 🤗🤗👍👌
Wow!! Genio total! Te amo! 🤩💫🙌👏👏👏👏
Thank you! This is beautifully explained.
Hi, thank you for this video, it's really helpful! I do have a question though. I'm sorry if it's been asked before! I'm currently working on a project that requires a colour change at every row to create stripes. But when I used your no cut join technique, I ended up with wider stripes which made the project misshapen (I did an extra row after the half and half row, with the new colour). Is there a way to avoid this please?
Just change colors each round but make each round a half color change using the opposite colors each round.
Thank you for this tutorial.it’s quite irritating to look at that imperfection. 😅😅😅
Never saw half colour change before thanks
Love his detail and I love having a male voice. Easy to understand. Thank you
Genius!
Thank you for a great tutorial.
👍👍
This is amazing! Would either of these techniques work if my pattern has color changes that just go for one row before switching back to the original color?
A thousand likes this is super helpful
Un truco estupendo... Lo he puesto en prácticas... Gracias!!!
Wow this is a god send!
I really appreciate your video, but I was wondering if I have to twist the threads every time or if I could twist only for increase... What is the reason for making the twist?
I never knew I needed this secret
I really would like to do something as beautyful as the 100 hour owl!
Спасибо за видео! Thanks a lot for this video. A great technique! I'll definitely use it!
“Because I’m lazy.” Hahahahaha That’s so me 😂
Why does the no cut join make you want to create extra stitches (it happened to me too) - you kind of have to jump what looks like two stitches to bring it all back together. Trying to understand the mechanics of it.
It's the slst that you do in the beginning. It looks like an extra stitch at the end. It trips me up still to be honest, I have to avoid it lol.
Love this technique! Thanks for the turorial :)
