Multi colour crochet projects

Once you have learned the basic stitches of crochet, it is fun to experiment with different colours in your crochet work. If you work with different colours and different yarns, it is important that the yarns you use have a similar composition and thickness (yarn weight). This way you ensure that the stitches and tension of the crochet work are more or less the same. Alternating colours can be done in different ways. We practised our colour changing techniques with a fantastic crochet Intarsia cushion pattern.
