Hi so i never know the best way to color change and it really bugs me especially with crochet plushies how with the way I color change it is always off somehow no matter what I do
I also really don’t like how when you do a color change at the beginning of a round it looks off if anyone has any advice it would be highly appreciated thank you!
Support space is for Ribblr related issues :) Moved this to crochet.
Sadly there’s no real great way to change colors going in a round without having an obvious change. Doing joined rounds (slst at the end and ch1 to start new round) does a bit better for color changing if you do the ch1 in the new color.
For color changes, I typically finish my stitch in the new color (so for sc, you pull up a loop in the old color and yo/pull through with the new color). You’re edges will be a bit off but that’s the cleanest way I’ve found without getting really complicated.
There’s also a way to make it super clean when you’re doing an entire row in a new color, which is you pull up a loop in the old color and then finish in the new color, but you do it for the entire row. So it’s great if you have something where the bottom half is one color and the top half is different.
For belly changes, also note that sometimes repositioning your decreases and increases can have an impact. But that’s even more complicated to figure out
Probably not much help here in this wall of text but suggest looking up youtube videos too if you can for different peoples methods of color changing
For the round I do the last stitch of the round in the back loop only, and when I come back around in the new color I crochet the last stitch into the front loop that I left in the previous round :) hope this helps!
