Changing Colours
Also known as: Colour change, stripes
Switching to a new colour cleanly so the new colour starts exactly where the row does. Our patterns say "With rust, …" on the first row in a new colour.
How to Changing Colours
1. Work the last stitch of the row before the change until 2 loops remain.
2. Drop the old colour, yarn over with the NEW colour and pull it through.
3. Carry on with the new colour.
💡 Pro Tips
For thin stripes, carry the unused colour up the side instead of cutting it.
