This is an amazing video in so many ways. I've spent the past 3 days looking for a solution to my problem and finally I found it! Not only is your footage of crocheting extremely clear, you're a natural performer. The intro is concise and shows your joy for teaching crocheting. Please continue to make videos like this, so, SO helpful!
Very well done- you speak clearly, at a good pace and without a lot of useless blather, or annoying music and noise in background. lighting and Camara angle really good, demo and tips excellent. THANK YOU ! Please make more, you’re a real pro!
I've watched several videos on this and this is the *only* video I found that was so well-explained! You're such a patient and incredible teacher! I wish I stumbled on this before my recent project, but at least my uneven line is going to be hidden for this project. But my next? I'm using this technique! And your demeanour really brightened my morning! :D I needed that bright spot to my day!
This is a wonderful technique. Am using it in a Japanese Knot Bag with stripes and I love it - no jogs! Can’t wait to use it in my amigurumi projects. What a game changer. Thank you.
Life saver! Just ripped out hours of work on a yoga mat bag because the pattern was so ugly not lining up and the instructions never explained how to make this right. THANK YOU! Once more into the fray!
OMG! You're just a genious! I'm crocheting my first amigurumi and I wasn't pleased with the change colour, but your tutorial is so easy and the result so perfect! It is absolutely unnoticiable!
Thank you,you have been very helpful, I’m just starting out, I have been a victim of abuse, and your use of this word does not bother me in the least, I am looking forward to learning more from you in the future. I like the way you take your time to explain, thank you again and have a very happy and save new year
As I can't speak or write English, I used the Google translator. I apologize for the errors. Just to thank and congratulate your explanation of the "famous step" in crochet work where colors are changed. It was the best explanation I found. Thank you from Brazil.
Really enjoyed your video. I've been crocheting for 16 years and have never liked the continuous spiral patterns people create for amigurumi besides for heads. I'm constantly "fixing" patterns I find to fit my own opinion of what looks better. Nice to see someone who also thinks "outside the box" and has so much experience. :)
Al fin alguien se tomó el trabajo y la paciencia de explicarlo súper bien para nosotras las principiantes, lo he comprendido y no es mi idioma, gracias, gracias.
Your technique borders on Genius. My only regret is, I wish I'd seen your video years ago. Colour changes have always been a rather big obstacle to overcome, and I've ALWAYS tripped over where the colour changes are in my finished project. I LOVE THIS BRILLIANT AND HOBBY CHANGING SOLUTION! I now cruise through the changes with your technique and ABSOLUTELY love the final result! A BIG THANK YOU to you! BTW I love your voice. It's perfect and very pleasant. Easy to understand too. Also, no "fluff" added---goes right to the subject!👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks a lot, you're the best one in explaning how to change the colors. I had a look to different videos, but could not find one with a real invisible change. Now I am happy and I can continue with my work. Sorry for bad english. 😘
I have been primarily using full loop crochet for amigurumi but after seeing how smooth the color transition was with backloop crochet I am eager to experiment with it. Thank you, this was incredibly informative 😊
The Circle Join does work with both full loop and back loop. Try both and see how you like it. Just remember that, even when doing back loop, the circle join is still done in the full stitch. I'm so glad you found this video informative.
I’m so glad I found you only too late!! I’m from Michigan and a Detroit Lions fan. For Christmas I made 7 different beanies for the Fam… Color change Hawaiian Blue with gray and I was so dissatisfied, because of the seams🥲🤪. I’m looking forward to make a couple more beanies, with your technique 👍 THANK YOU soo much. Good job showing and your details were perfect! GO 🦁’s!!
Thank you for making this video. Sometimes you just have to go that extra mile in order to get the look that you want instead of "oh well". Many years ago a kind crocheter quickly taught me how to join the rows on a hat that I was doing. I had never thought about what she taught me in minutes (on the bus). I never forgot that lesson because I had made dozens of hats without doing the invisible join. I also saw how to decrease without leaving a gaping hole in the work. I laughed and laughed at how I decreased, but, it did work, it's just that it didn't look perfect and you could see what was done real easy. I'm a visual learner and these videos are just what the doctor ordered. You helped to bring back my joy of crocheting. Thank you again for sharing with us.
Juanita, I can't thank you enough for this very kind comment. You are very welcome. And I thank you for sharing your story. I love getting to know the people who are watching.
I cannot thank you enough for this video! I was making Christmas Gnomes for my Daughter-in-law for Christmas. The legs are circular striped red and green, the pattern calls for continuous rounds. When it came to the legs I was lamenting over how messy they looked with the jaggedness. I was going through videos and yours came up. My Daughter-in law may be getting her present late but with your help it went from ho hum to awesome. Thank you again!
Beautifully explained and demonstrated. Probably not possible, but old eyes like mine would LOVE it if you could zoom in on your trickier moves, or when pointing out a particular part of a stitch. THANK YOU for taking the time to do these! I'll be watching more of them!
Maybe this will work for you www.amazon.com/Technology-123D-Magnifier-Bluetooth-Speaker-Enlarger/dp/B082RG7CBZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=phone+magnifier&qid=1591136826&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzTVg1NU9TM1FMT0pXJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzkzMDk0NjM0VElOTUpYNUVMJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTEwNDM2MjAyTjdZTEdDVzkyTE1VJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
Thank you for this video! I've watched a couple other 'invisible' colour change videos but they all seemed so complicated... your method is really simple and easy to do! xx
i have only been crocheting for about 6 months, followed lots of tutorials as well as a friend showing me. This tutorial helped clear up a lot of stress i had trying to change colour and join my circle seamlessly in the round. Clearly explained, easy to follow. Thank you for saving me!
Thank you I have been crocheting off and on for 18 years and have just started making toys. I normally make hats scarves and Afghans. This is helpful for me. The first you I made is all one color so you can’t tell to much.
Thank you for that very clear explanation. I'm teaching myself to crochet and have already taken a hate for those jagged lines you get from colour changes. Thanks to you, I'm gonna look like a pro!
I'm glad you're enjoying and learning. I think one of the best things about TH-cam is that people can ask questions, and I can talk to them (even if it is just writing). :-)
I have never met a person that explains things better then you do! I am so glad I found your videos! :) My crochet projects have never looked better. Thank you!
I have been crocheting for 35 years and always hated the color change on the row change I hate how it looks I also don’t like how when you do it that way the starting point for the row moves this keeps it straight thank you so much for this
Thank you. Fabulous teacher!!! extremely well done, easy to follow, instructions clear, visuals clearly presented. Thank you. I will watch everyday as a reminder.
This is one of the best crochet channels out there. I have been wracking my little beginner brain for the last couple of days wondering why some channels recommend a circle join while others don’t and now I know !!!! Thank you !!!!🙏
Just purchased my first book on tapestry crochet and I am finally getting the courage to start. Your tutorial made it easy for me to see the difference between a visible and an invisible join. Loved the bobby pin, I use paper clips. Keep the videos coming.
Your first book on tapestry crochet, what an adventure. Be careful or you'll be hooked for life, lol. I'm glad I was able to help. The bobby pin started decades ago. Bread wrapper closing tabs work pretty well too. :-)
You are such a great teacher/tutor. 🤗 Your tutorials are so comprehensive & clear. I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for your effort & work. God bless you. 🙏🏾
Be careful, you'll get hooked (pun intended). Once you start tapestry crochet, you'll love it. Check out my channel, I'm doing free lessons. You're very welcome.
You remind me of my mother with your mannerisms. Once, when we first had 8mm home movies, the sound went out on the projector. Then we realized my mother's hands were going up and down, back and forth, and she looked like she was doing sign language. Same as you. You made me miss her. Sooo much. It's a good kind of miss. She loved me and i knew it.
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial Sandy-Maree. In answer to your questions, I mainly crochet amigurumi so the majority of my crochet is in the round. However, I am learning to make mochila bags and your tutorial has made my colour changes so much neater!!
I absolutely love your video. It has helped me tremendously. I still need to refine it but I am really pleased with the difference it’s made in my amigurumi.
Your techniques are absolutely amazing! I’ve been crocheting for a while and a lot of online info and videos goes through the same 5-10 tips. But I haven’t heard your tips anywhere and they are so great!
You're very welcome. I think it might have something to do with my age, lol. I'm 64 and part of my learning came from little old Ladies about 50 years ago. So these aren't new. Just very old and almost forgotten. :-)
Thank you for this, I have searched high and low for a method that won't jog every time I join!!! Clearly explained and well illustrated. Love from Christine in China.
@@CrochetFiberArt I had been watching countless videos on this and this is the only method that ACTUALLY WORKS!!! Now my amigurumi will look beautiful thanks to your method.
Actually, yarning under instead of over is also one way to control the slant of the stitch on joining, so your surgery is serendipitous for showing the better way to stitch for no-show seams!! Thank you for the really clear explanation!
Yes it is. And, going back through my VERY OLD (hehe) notes also reminded me that to yarn under is called a Square Single Crochet, so it's a real stitch, lol. Thank YOU for pointing it out {{{hugs}}}
It was one of the times I was out and about with a crochet project, I needed a stitch marker, I had bobby pins in my hair, LOL. Been using them ever since.
Thank you so much for this well done tutorial! It goes at a perfect pace and the camera shows the technique very clearly! One of the best videos I've seen in a long time!
I didn't know that you are the change the color guru, I have been waiting for 45 years. I'm suddenly embarrassed to say that but I thank you too much for it. Because I would make a really pretty amigurumi or what not, and I was so unhappy with the lalaloopy of colors lol.🙏
Thank you so much! I'm making my first amigurumi mini pig! For my father in law for his birthday! It's back and white and I've never needed to do the perfect color change before! Looks complicated but you make it so simple with ur directions!! Greatly appreciated 💜
Wow I just found your channel. Is so strange a friend of mine (Christyn from Christyn's Crochet Corner) is just learning Amirgrumi and asked if we knew of any videos to help smooth her color changes. And BOOM there was your video. You explained it so well. I'm going to try it myself because I love Amirgrumi. Is one of my passions.
Very detailed. Thank you for repeating so many times! You do it enough times so I can really GET it, not just see it.👍 Your crochet is really art. New subscriber!
You are very welcome. Way back in school (about 40+ years ago, lol) I was told that to teach you need to repeat about 3 times, trying to use different words. I'm not always good at using different words, lol. I'm glad this helped you.
Thank you so very much for creating this video! You are so good at teaching us how to do the Invisible Join! I hope you have been doing well since you made this video a few years ago.
I'm so glad I found you! Your teaching technique is perfect! I have been having such a hard time making this basket with color changes. Your video cleared it up for me!
Do a search for Mocilla Bag and you'll see what back loop looks like. I also think there's a Facebook group that teaches how to make the Mocilla Bags. :-)
Good morning Sandy, I just came across your channel. I absolutely love you already 😘 your so pleasant to listen to. I look forward to seeing more of your work.😍😍😍 Have a fabulous day. 😗
Thank you for the detailed explanation. It made it very easy to understand! I've been doing amigurumi for a bit now and this will help it look just that bit better 😊 Recently I've tried doing back loop single crochet for amigurumi and have really been enjoying how it looks!
Thank you, SO MUCH, for letting me know you're enjoying both the circle join and back loop. It really warms my heart to know people are using things like this.
This was AWESOME! Huge favor. Zoom in closer to work so you can see what you are stitching into and where you are pointing the tapestry needle. Or......Use a larger yarn so you can see what you are doing. GREAT explanation though! Thanks for sharing!
First, thank you. Second, this video is scheduled to be redone. It was only the second video I ever created, lol. It will be a little while before I can redo it as I'm currently in Florida helping a friend move.
Thank you, I'm starting a mosaic blanket and in the pattern after every round it called for an invisible join and I didn't know what that was and you explain it so perfectly
Oh my, a Mosaic Blanket! I sure wish there was a way to share pictures here on TH-cam comments. I'd love to see it. You are welcome and I'm glad the video helped you.
I love this technique and used it on my very first Mochila bag. I have seen many tutorials now and wonder why, why, why I have not seen the invisible join on any of them. I just did a simple one-stitch increase on the bottom and until I reached 100 stitches with 8 sections so a 10-stitch repeat. And then did a two-color design like flying geese in quilting. Except for changing colors over the join, which I had redo a couple of times, it was so easy and it is practically invisible. And as my first project ever, it looks great !!! I wish I could send a picture to you.
I AM SO HAPPY that you are enjoying this. I would really like to see a picture as well. Are you on Facebook? I have a Facebook group (not a page) where we all share pictures of what we are working on, join the group and you could share a picture with me (and about 6,000 other folks that love crochet) bit.ly/2MoiIOh
Oh my, thankyou thankyou for this detailed tutorial, what a game changer for me, I'm just starting out in amigurumi, and working on my skills before making a pattern that I bought for inspiring me to practice before so attempt it...of course I'm now your newest subscriber⚘ when a lesson is needed a teacher will appear....Hello teacher⚘

I’m making teddy bears for Samaritan’s Purse and have tried to find how to change the colours. This is the only video that makes sense. Thank you

So awesome!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to show people how to do this. I have no idea where I would be without this kind of stuff right now. Thank you

I giggled when I saw the bobby pin- that’s exactly what I use! They work great! 😊
As I'm making videos I'm learning there are a lot of folks that use bobby pins. I'm glad you giggled. 😊
Me too ❤️
I am now! I was using fish hook earrings but they slipped off a lot. Bobby-pins are the best!
Hahaha, i felt related , i use it a lot , very smart idea 😄✨
The masters share their secrets. Thank you.
I've never been called a master before. I actually had to read this to one of my friends. Thank you kindly (I've been smiling since I read this.)😊
You explained this so well. Best video ever. Now my rounds with color changes look great. Thank you.
This is a wonderful technique. Am using it in a Japanese Knot Bag with stripes and I love it - no jogs! Can’t wait to use it in my amigurumi projects. What a game changer. Thank you.

Your explaning is very useful and it's sooo clear that I'll use it from now on. Thank you xxx
Thank you for the compliment. I'm so happy I was able to help.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just ripped my sweater apart to restart with this tip. I'm so much happier with the results.
😂 you hate to do that but you were so happy to have learned that clean color change, ha! Happy for you
I have been searching for this technique for ages. This is the best out there and it actually works. Thank you very much. Brilliant! xxx
I'm glad it helps you. Thank you, very much, for your nice comment.
Using a bobby pin like that is so creative!
It was one of the times I was out and about with a crochet project, I needed a stitch marker, I had bobby pins in my hair, LOL. Been using them ever since.
Thank you ! I'm a new crocheter and this tutorial is priceless to me.
Thank you so much for this well done tutorial! It goes at a perfect pace and the camera shows the technique very clearly! One of the best videos I've seen in a long time!
Thank you, so much, for your wonderful words. You've really made my day. :-)
Such a lovely clearly instructed video! Thank you so much!
Thank you 😊
I didn't know that you are the change the color guru, I have been waiting for 45 years. I'm suddenly embarrassed to say that but I thank you too much for it. Because I would make a really pretty amigurumi or what not, and I was so unhappy with the lalaloopy of colors lol.🙏
Hi Me Me! Beautiful socks, lovely colorway and stitch pattern. Lovely happy mail from Edna. Thanks for sharing. Take care.❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I'm making my first amigurumi mini pig! For my father in law for his birthday! It's back and white and I've never needed to do the perfect color change before! Looks complicated but you make it so simple with ur directions!! Greatly appreciated 💜
You are very welcome. :-)
Wow I just found your channel. Is so strange a friend of mine (Christyn from Christyn's Crochet Corner) is just learning Amirgrumi and asked if we knew of any videos to help smooth her color changes. And BOOM there was your video. You explained it so well. I'm going to try it myself because I love Amirgrumi. Is one of my passions.
That is so awesome, I'm so happy that the video was there to help you - when you needed it. Thank YOU for the nice comment.
Wow, this is excellent! Very professional indeed! Thank you very much for this helpful technique that I will apply to my future crochet projects.
The best tutorial to changing colors that I could have found! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much. You've made my day. :-)
I mainly do Amigurumi so I use single crochet mostly - thank you sandy - great video 👏👏
Very detailed. Thank you for repeating so many times! You do it enough times so I can really GET it, not just see it.👍 Your crochet is really art. New subscriber!
You are very welcome. Way back in school (about 40+ years ago, lol) I was told that to teach you need to repeat about 3 times, trying to use different words. I'm not always good at using different words, lol. I'm glad this helped you.
I’m only three years younger than you, I remember the use it three times and it’s yours😉. It’s so true.👍
Love all three vidz so far, thank you very much,More please.
Thank you, Andrea. Every Tuesday another one is released.
Lol, What you mean to say .... I must wait until tomorrow? Gosh another whole 24 hours, Ahhhhhhhhhhh. LOL
Yep, sorry about that. :-) I'm 62, I don't do a lot of things fast, lol.
Never heard of a circle join until i watched this vid. Cant wait to give this a try tomorrow
Thank you Sandy, for a very clear explanation, I have been struggling with this.
Thank you so very much for creating this video! You are so good at teaching us how to do the Invisible Join! I hope you have been doing well since you made this video a few years ago.
That was fantastic, Sandy. You blew my mind!
I'm so glad I found you! Your teaching technique is perfect! I have been having such a hard time making this basket with color changes. Your video cleared it up for me!
This is the BEST video for this technique that I have seen.
Thank you very much! :-)
This is great. Thank you for your very helpful tips.
I always do full loop simply because I've never seen back loop before! I've been crocheting for almost 20 years and I still have so much to learn!
Do a search for Mocilla Bag and you'll see what back loop looks like. I also think there's a Facebook group that teaches how to make the Mocilla Bags. :-)
The best one I have yet!
Well thank you :-) You've made my day 😊
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I don't know you but I feel that I want to give you a big hug for making this video!!!

Talented LADY! WOW!
Thank you, :-)
Thank you for the detailed explanation. It made it very easy to understand! I've been doing amigurumi for a bit now and this will help it look just that bit better 😊 Recently I've tried doing back loop single crochet for amigurumi and have really been enjoying how it looks!
Thank you, SO MUCH, for letting me know you're enjoying both the circle join and back loop. It really warms my heart to know people are using things like this.
Thank you for sharing this technique. You explained it so well. Gonna try this out. ❤️
You are VERY welcome! Let me know how your first try goes :-)
This is the best colour change tutorial, I’ve watched lots of videos and this is definitely the best easy and very effective 👍🏻🧶🧶🧶🧶thank you 😀
Thank you for this excellent teaching of a tricky procedure..
You're very welcome.
Crochet Fiber Art Thank you love, no problem!! Deb x
You are an amazing teacher..Thank you from Atlanta, Ga
Thank you for the wonderful comment.
OMG ~ NEVER SEEN THIS INVISIBLE STITCH BEFORE ~ SO 😎
I'm so very happy you've learned something.
This was AWESOME! Huge favor. Zoom in closer to work so you can see what you are stitching into and where you are pointing the tapestry needle. Or......Use a larger yarn so you can see what you are doing. GREAT explanation though! Thanks for sharing!
First, thank you. Second, this video is scheduled to be redone. It was only the second video I ever created, lol. It will be a little while before I can redo it as I'm currently in Florida helping a friend move.
ive tried so many different color change tutorial, and in so glad i watched this one. I finally got it!
I'm SO GLAD this one helped you.
Thank you, I'm starting a mosaic blanket and in the pattern after every round it called for an invisible join and I didn't know what that was and you explain it so perfectly
Oh my, a Mosaic Blanket! I sure wish there was a way to share pictures here on TH-cam comments. I'd love to see it. You are welcome and I'm glad the video helped you.
I love this technique and used it on my very first Mochila bag. I have seen many tutorials now and wonder why, why, why I have not seen the invisible join on any of them. I just did a simple one-stitch increase on the bottom and until I reached 100 stitches with 8 sections so a 10-stitch repeat. And then did a two-color design like flying geese in quilting. Except for changing colors over the join, which I had redo a couple of times, it was so easy and it is practically invisible. And as my first project ever, it looks great !!! I wish I could send a picture to you.
I AM SO HAPPY that you are enjoying this. I would really like to see a picture as well. Are you on Facebook? I have a Facebook group (not a page) where we all share pictures of what we are working on, join the group and you could share a picture with me (and about 6,000 other folks that love crochet) bit.ly/2MoiIOh
Oh my, thankyou thankyou for this detailed tutorial, what a game changer for me, I'm just starting out in amigurumi, and working on my skills before making a pattern that I bought for inspiring me to practice before so attempt it...of course I'm now your newest subscriber⚘ when a lesson is needed a teacher will appear....Hello teacher⚘
I'm so, SO glad I was able to help you. 😀
