Did you know that you can take any grid color chart and use it with a variety of different crochet techniques to make all different kinds of things? In Camp Colorwork, Robyn goes over four of these crochet techniques in detail. I cover how to use them for knitting. And then you can use any of the charts in the course with any of the techniques to make ALL THE THINGS.
This is classic single crochet using tapestry crochet techniques to avoid stranding on the back. It creates a mostly-reversible design. Each row is worked in two colors. Each block on the color grid represents one single crochet stitch in that color.

To change colors in the middle of a row, stop crocheting with Color A right before the last loop is pulled through. Then, put Color B on the hook, and use Color B to pull through the last two loops on the hook. After that, you can continue crocheting across the row with Color B.
Work until there are only two loops left on the hook, drop the first color, and pick up the new color. Finish the stitch by pulling the new color through both loops on the hook. Then, crochet the first stitch of the next round in the new color of yarn.
Ever wondered how to add a new ball of yarn when crocheting? Or how to change color in the middle of a row? Or what the heck is the difference between Fair Isle, tapestry, and intarsia crochet? Look no further than this post! Learn everything you need to know about crochet color changes right here.
Thank you for this amazing thing you are doing with Crochet Academy. I will like to ask which method do you recommend for C2C? I started a C2C blanket and I am at the point where I need to start adding the color to my work (: I am freaking out a little bit though.
This is so great!!!!! I am so excited to have this. I have a coworker and we were just talking about color changes and our ineptness at this; and here it is made simple. I shared with her (I hope that is okay because she missed signing up for this academy)!
After learning how to read crochet colorwork charts and all the techniques you can use with them, you get to make the Somerset Garden waistcoat stitch hat. Crocheted from the bottom up, 3 colors are used to create a beautiful and unique motif around the body of the hat.
Watching a project go from a flat fabric to a three dimensional object that will fit a foot is a pleasure all by itself. But mix that with a textural stitch pattern that also highlights the colors in a yarn and you have a pattern that will be a favorite.
Time to try a unique way to combine colors in a striped fashion without a jog. Helix knitting is a technique that creates single-row stripes when knitting in the round when you have at least two different colors of yarn.
I love learning new techniques and original patterns such as The Nebula Cowl. I'm 75 years old and have been knitting and crocheting for as long as I can remember. I like to challenge myself, Marly and her team have come up with patterns that require focus, concentration, and skill. If you want to create a crochet project that really stands out they you'll be happy with Camp Colorwork and other Marly Bird projects and events.
Since most of my tapestry crochet patterns use single crochet stitches, here, I will show you how to make an invisible color change working in regular single crochet. However, you can apply the same steps when using single crochet in the back loop only or the waistcoat stitch.
After working up the free crochet pattern for my Retro Christmas Tree Towel, I decided that some may find a color change tutorial helpful. I also added a couple of helpful tips below, under "Reference Photos for Carrying Yarn".
Happy Tip Tuesday! Last week, I talked about how to crochet with 2 colors of yarn, using a technique called stranding. This technique works wonderfully when there are only a few stitches between color changes.
There are some people that prefer projects using just one color and that is okay. However, there are also some people out there that tend to stick to one color for their projects. This is mostly because they are scared of multicolor crochet techniques.
I have compiled a list of some basic multicolor crochet techniques that anybody can learn. Some of these techniques are quite similar. This means that if you learn the basics of one technique, you will be able to master the next one by changing just one small step. And changing small steps does not sound that scary after all.
Graphgan is an afghan that is made from a graph. It is an interesting multicolor crochet technique. I used it to make a portrait of my late boss. I used a photograph of him which I turned into a graph.
This is such a gorgeous technique that you should definitely try. There are some wonderful projects using tapestry you have seen but thought they might be too difficult to make. This might be due to using multicolor crochet techniques.
However, tapestry crochet is not that different from traditional crochet. It uses beginner-friendly single crochet stitch but instead of one color, you might need to change to another one to create a picture. Sometimes working into the back loop only gives neater results.
Fair isle crochet differs from the other techniques by carrying the secondary color along. This means when you are not using the second color you can carry it at the back and crochet over it every few stitches as you go to fix it into position.
Tunisian Crochet is another technique that is quite easy to use for crocheting with multiple colors using a graph. You can use it very similarly to standard crochet graphgan where your multiple yarns are held on separate bobbins.
It contains colorfully mixed pattern stitches such as waves, prongs, diamonds, woven effects, or chains. For each pattern, there is a clear crochet chart and detailed, row by row written instructions.
You might think there will be lots of ends to weave in in these multicolor crochet techniques, however, the yarn not in use is simply carried along until you need it again. So you do not need to cut it off and join again creating lots of ends.
To make the crochet plaid you will need a minimum of three colors. You will use a dark, a light, and a mid shade color. If you stick to this basic rule you can create plaid stitch with just about any color combination.
However, in mosaic crochet, there are no changing colors within rows! The patterns are created by working 2 rows in one color, followed by 2 rows in the second color, and so on. Now that does not sound as scary!
Mosaic crochet uses charts too however they are read slightly differently. Each square on the chart represents one sc. If the chart calls for a different color, you miss the required number of sts and chain that number.
Earlier this week, I shared a tutorial on basic corner to corner (c2c) crochet stitches and how to read a c2c chart or graph. Of course, the corner to corner stitch can be used to create a solid colored design and it actually looks quite lovely and textured that way, but the real fun comes in "illustrating" pictures with many colors of yarn.
Learning how to change colors in corner to corner crochet is easier than you might think. It's minimizing the ends to weave in and keeping your yarn organized once you've attached several colors to your project that can get tricky. I have a few ideas on that, but first, let's learn how to switch colors.
When your c2c chart or graph indicates that it's time to switch colors, you will actually begin the color change in the last double crochet of the original colored tile. These photos illustrate how to change colors in corner to corner crochet, but there are additional written details below.
Step 1: Do not complete the last yarn over of your third double crochetStep 2: Instead, yarn over with the new color to complete the double crochetStep 3: Slip stitch to ch-3 turning chain of next tile and chain 3Step 4: Work 3 double crochet in ch-3 turning chain as you usually would
Once you start adding multiple colors of yarn, you can quickly tangle yourself into a tizzy. I have tried many ways to keep my yarn organized with varying success. Sometimes I simple put each ball into a Ziploc bag and zip it as far closed as possible around the strand of yarn in use. This helps keep the balls from unraveling and getting messy, but it doesn't do much to prevent the different colors from getting twisted. 2ff7e9595c
