In crochet this usually comes down to finishing work, not many people really want to weave in ends. So when looking for a quick project that meant that we often avoid work with multiple colors, yet I have a simple trick to share.<\/p>\n<p>This trick works best with a two row repeat, meaning that the pattern has you repeating the same two rows throughout, like when you see \u201cRows 5-95: Rep Rows 3 &amp; 4 forty-five times\u201d. This \u201crep 3 &amp; 4\u201d indicates a two row repeat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"googlepublisherpluginad\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7137946423488559\" data-ad-slot=\"9962387228\" data-ad-channel=\"WordPressSinglePost+pso-lv-9\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\"><ins id=\"aswift_0_expand\"><ins id=\"aswift_0_anchor\"><iframe id=\"aswift_0\" name=\"aswift_0\" width=\"584\" height=\"72\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/div>\n<p>Now if you change colors after ever row repeat, meaning work two rows of a color and then which to the next, that you will be changing colors on the same side of the work. Now if you use two colors you have a relatively small distance between these changes.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of cutting the yarn and changing colors it is easy to pick up the color needed for the change and \u201ccarry\u201d the yarn along the edge. You want to ensure that you do not pull the yarn too tight, or too loose, during these changes. The picture provided shows what I am attempting to explain.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Carry-edges.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2478 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Carry-edges-280x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Carry-edges-280x300.jpg 280w, http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Carry-edges-768x824.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Carry-edges-954x1024.jpg 954w\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"300\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So to finish off this technique you simply work an edging on the side. This can be a simple row of single crochets or something more elaborate, but you want something that will prevent theses \u201ccarried\u2019 strands from becoming snagged.<\/p>\n<p>I find I work designs more like this in the \u201crush\u201d time up to the holidays. I use to do a lot of one color projects, but now I want something that looks a little more stylish and intricate so I work these simple color changes to save the time on finish work. Less ends to weave in, means I finish that much faster.<\/p>\n<div class=\"googlepublisherpluginad\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7137946423488559\" data-ad-slot=\"2439120421\" data-ad-channel=\"WordPressSinglePost+pso-lv-9\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\"><ins id=\"aswift_1_expand\"><ins id=\"aswift_1_anchor\"><iframe id=\"aswift_1\" name=\"aswift_1\" width=\"584\" height=\"60\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/div>\n<p>See if it helps speed along your project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"entry-meta\">This entry was posted in&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?cat=374\" rel=\"category\">Crochet Understanding<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?cat=362\" rel=\"category\">Patterns\/Design Thoughts<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?cat=2\" rel=\"category\">website<\/a>&nbsp;and tagged&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=carry-along\" rel=\"tag\">carry along<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=change\" rel=\"tag\">change<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=changing-colors\" rel=\"tag\">changing colors<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=color\" rel=\"tag\">color<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=crochet\" rel=\"tag\">Crochet<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=dean\" rel=\"tag\">dean<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=design\" rel=\"tag\">Design<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=finish-work\" rel=\"tag\">finish work<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=finishing\" rel=\"tag\">finishing<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=ideas\" rel=\"tag\">ideas<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=inspiration\" rel=\"tag\">inspiration<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=linda\" rel=\"tag\">linda<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=linda-dean\" rel=\"tag\">Linda Dean<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=linda-dean-crochet\" rel=\"tag\">linda dean crochet<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=pattern\" rel=\"tag\">pattern<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=stitch\" rel=\"tag\">stitch<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=stitches\" rel=\"tag\">Stitches<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=weaving-in-ends\" rel=\"tag\">weaving in ends<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?tag=yarn\" rel=\"tag\">Yarn<\/a>&nbsp;by&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/?author=1\">webmaster<\/a>.
