How to Crochet Better Color Changes
Louie's Loops
Beginner
Hey there! I’m Louie, and in this tutorial we’re going to be talking about crocheted color changes.
We’ll be talking less about how to make a color changes and more about how color changes behave, so if you want to learn how to actually make a color change, check out my first tutorial here and come back.
We’ll also be working with specifically single crochets and when working in the round or in a spiral without turning, the most common way to make amigurumi.

The Pattern
01The Single Crochet Dissected
The Top Loop
This is the top of the single crochet. It is made first, by pulling through the two loops from the previous stitch with a new loop. Often this is thought as finishing up a single crochet, but you can think of it as starting a new stitch as well. The top loop can be any one solid color.
The "V"
This is the V like formation seen from the front of the stitch. This is made secondly for a single crochet and can be made a different color than the top loop.
