There are a few different techniques available to join new yarn to your work – one way is with a slip stitch. It is a very easy way to attach your yarn.
How To Join New Yarn with a Slip Stitch
Step 1: Insert the hook into the specified stitch of your work and then place a slipknot on the hook.
Step 2: Draw the slipknot through the stitch and chain-1.
Step 3: Continue with the pattern instructions, working the first stitch in the same stitch as the join (unless the pattern states otherwise).
Step 4: This photo shows how the stitch looks followed by 4-single crochet stitches.

Hi Judy, When I finish off one color I weave it into itself in multiple directions. I try to make sure I don’t weave it into a different color. Is this what you mean? If it isn’t please let me know so I can try to help 🙂 thanks, Rhondda

How do you end with one color? I’m having problems with tying the yarn without it showing

This is helpful, thank you! Changing to another color has always intimidated me but this makes it sound fairly simple. I can’t wait to try it!

Changing colour & bringing in new yarn – ‘To knot or not to knot?’ Personally I don’t like knots, they produce weak areas, can unravel and have the most annoying habit of moving to the front & spoiling your beautiful work that has taken you hours to create – the following are a few examples to help you eliminate the need to use them.
