How to Change Colors Every Row Without Fastening off in Crochet
Do you love striped afghans but find it discouraging that you have so many ends to weave in? Learn to change colors in crochet without fastening off. Yes, I am talking about 2 colored stripes where you cannot drop and pick up the previous color as it would be at the opposite end of your work.
This crochet tip is meant for Afghans with borders and will work with stitches that look the same on both the sides.
Watch the video below to learn how.

Thank-you so much. Perhaps now I will dare to tackle such an afghan!
You are very welcome. I am glad you found this helpful.
Love it. Thank you very much. And looks so clean, no knotting and weaving in. Wonderful.
You are very welcome, Lesley. I am glad this was helpful.
What if you are using more than 2 colors–maybe 5 or 6.
I wouldn't recommend this method for color changes of more than 3 colors. The reason being there is more chance that the ends might snag in the washer.
Very creative way to change colors without the typical clipped ends! I will try it. Thanks for sharing this method.

Thank u for the video. It was very helpful. I have been crocheting for 30 years now and I never thought to change colors that way. I always cut the yarn and then had to hide the strings. Thanks again.
