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.

![Boo! Make this cute little pumpkin today!
You will need DK Weight Yarn [3] and a 3.25 mm (D) hook OR to make a larger pumpkin Medium Weight Yarn [4] and a 4 mm (G) hook.
I used Patons Astra Yarn that I purchased from Michaels in Waterloo.
I used 10 mm safety eyes for my little pumpkin container but you can use felt instead.
If you want to make this as a softie instead I've included instructions in my post to help you! Tap the link in my bio @oombawkadesigncrochet to go straight to my post.
I do have a PDF version available for purchase in my Ravelry Shop.

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
Good stitches
Thank you for the Happy Scarf Pattern! I can’t wait to make it! Sincere Affection, Lizzie
You are very welcome Amy 🙂
You are very welcome 🙂 I’m happy to help!
Very welcome!
interesting, thank you so much<3
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!
I have always had a hard time joining new colors. Thank you.
I agree about knots! They can be quite troublesome. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave a comment! Rhondda
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.
