Changing Colors

I haven't posted in awhile. Life has a way of getting hectic sometimes. My younger sister asked me how to change colors when you are crocheting. I took some pictures to explain how to change colors in the middle of a row. This techneque can also be used to change colors at the end of a row also.

The pictures show how to change colors when you are working with single crochet but it is done the same way with any stitch you are working on. The first picture shows working the first part of the single crochet with the old color. (insert hook into stitch, draw up a loop,) then attach new color to the yarn of the old color in the back of the work, then yarn over, then pull the new color through the two loops on the hook.
