How to Seamlessly Change Colors When Crocheting in The Round
When we change colors in crochet, we would always like to keep it seamless for the best finish. When working in a row, this is achieved by joining the new color when you have two loops left on your hook as shown in the tutorial here, but how do you change colors seamlessly when working in the round?
There are two ways you can do that or even three. I show you the 2 easier methods and why one is better than the other in this tutorial. A video is also provided at the end of the pattern.
Common Method of Changing Colors When Working in the Round
Insert your hook into the first st, yarn over the new color and pull through the stitch and the loop on your hook to complete the slip st.

Your instructions are so-o- complete. Thanks
That made my day, thank you so much :).
Thank you!
I am making a striped elf hat. Do you have a tutorial or detailed explanation on how to pick the yarn back up when changing colors back and forth in the round so I can avoid weaving in numerous tails?
Thank you.
I am sorry, I do not have a tutorial on that.
You crochet the other color with the current one you’re working with. Like, say you’re working with red, the green would be on the bottom like if you were working with a tail you didn’t want to be seen when you begin.
