Thank you, this helped me fix the issue of having little lines of color where they shouldn't be. Never thought to include inside the last weave of the block. I had only done bars of diagonal colors, this is my first attempt at making a picture
Thank you so much! I have watched a bunch of color changing for C2C and no one really shows how to do the different ways to approach the different situations like you do. I think I am finally understanding how to handle changes from one block of color to one that is farther away.
This will be hard for me, however I completely understand it. I had an ah hah! moment. I've been crocheting for under two years and have scoured the internet for patterns etc and your patterns and tutorials have been the easiest to read. Thank you so much! Especially because I have no patience for learning new things.
Legitimately the most helpful video I've ever found for crochet. I love doing C2C but I can't just about manage stripes 😅 I would love to be able to do a graph pattern one day.
Can you do another video in corner to corner where you have to make a block that is one or 2 blocks over and then do a color change with the color from the previous row.
Colorwork gives me a huge headache and this was massively helpful more than any other tutorial!! The only thing I still can’t get is when a color isn’t used for one full (c2c) row, how do I manage that? It’s a color that will make up the major of the background in the pattern and it would be a huge pain to have to cut and weave in ends every time this happens 🥲
Thank you Tamara, all very helpful. I've just started making my fourth graphgan (I'm more of an Amigurumiest, but C2C gives me more of that crochet-for-days action 😁) and though my...um..."method" works "ok" (I'm a tight crocheter), I wanted the colour changes to be even more less visible, whilst having fewer ends to weave in...we all hate those ends, and the graphgans I've been making (all by Two Magic Pixels) have A LOT of ends!! Whichever method a person uses, there's going to be some, erm, finessing of the next yarn colour. I'll give your methods some more practise. I'm liking them so far 😎👍🏻 Especially carrying a previous colour over a few blocks from the left side (purple colour at the end of your vid), looks great on my practise piece. The other method I like is bringing the next colour yarn up to the height you need for the slip stitch...that one I need to watch a few more times and practise. Happy crocheting and great video!! 🥰
Thanks for your informative way of doing a color change. Could you explain how different in looks if instead of doing a double crochet on a c2c pattern if I do the c2c pattern in half doubles?
I’m on my second crock and have watched several videos your video is my favorite thanks it has been very helpful thanks but I have a ? can a square be changed after the work Has been completed
I'm not sure exactly what sort of changes you're thinking of, but I do recommend blocking your squares, either with just water or steam. That can help them look a lot better! Beyond that, you can add or remove rounds, or even add some surface crochet!
After some morning coffee, I wonder if you're asking about changing the color of a "pixel"? That... would be very very tricky! Possible, but very fiddly.
THANK YOU I was getting so irritated with the lines showing when I color changed, when going back the other direction. I’m going to use the weave technique from now on 12:53
Hi, this is great. You showed how to pick up a colour that is one block "ahead" and two blocks "ahead", but how far ahead does it stop making sense to do it this way? Or can you do it any number of blocks ahead as long as your tension is fine?
It's a matter of personal comfort, but I'd probably only do up to 3, just because it starts getting really difficult to keep the tension right. Thank you! ♥
Hi Tam, could you please tell me where you buy your crochet hook? I like the idea of the solid shape and all in one. I also use my hooks in the pen stile but in the UK I have not seem this kind of pattern. Thanks Bob…
That hook looks comfortable! What's it called? I'm making my first graph and of course I chose one that looks complicated lol. I'm hoping to finish it by Christmas! Thank you for clearly explaining how to neatly change colors.
Why do we try to avoid weaving in? Is it just because it’s extra work or does it make a messier product? Could you show how you weave in the ends for neatness? There aren’t long strips of consecutive stitches like in Granny squares or row-crocheting to make it easy.
A little bit of both? Weaving in ends adds bulk, and it is most people's least favorite part of colorwork. When you don't have a lot of space to weave in the ends, I recommend using the method where you send the yarn through the stitches in one direction, and then turn 180 degrees and go back the other way, being sure to split through the first section with your yarn needle. As long as the yarn cooperates, that's the most secure weave in, within a small space.
Hopefully it is indicated in the pattern as you begin, but if you're just working from a graph, then usually you start with square one in the bottom left corner, and consider that the Right Side - so odd numbered rows on the right side, even numbered rows on the wrong side. :)
@@bba.by.marilyn It depends - if it's attached to a bobbin, you'll want to leave it in back to pick it up on the return. If you've cut the end, then you can just weave it in on the wrong side when you're done. :)
This video focuses on the color changes within the fabric. You only chain 6 to begin each row when working corner to corner crochet. :) You might want to check out this video first: ua-cam.com/video/4wPWAbsd3fk/v-deo.htmlsi=GN9Gz3PlvZ7kdURX
If you want to use the same bobbin, you'll need to crochet over that color in the stitches in between, tapestry style. If it's more than a couple blocks, you'll probably want to start a new bobbin.
Thank you for your Tutorial on this. I'm really going Crazy trying to make a Giraffe C2C for my Grandson. I know the stitch but the different color changes are driving me Bananas 🍌 😫 😐 😫 .
This was way more helpful than other tutorials that I have watched.
I'm so glad it helped, thank you!
This video was soooo helpful! I was so intimidated on color changing that I almost gave up. Thank you! The butterfly bobbles are a game changer!
Thank you! 10:30 - 12:00 was exactly what i needed! ❤️
** & 12:30 - 13:30 !! ❤️
*** & 5:20
You rock!
This is super helpful, thank you! Carrying the new color up the last double is genius!
Thank you, this helped me fix the issue of having little lines of color where they shouldn't be. Never thought to include inside the last weave of the block. I had only done bars of diagonal colors, this is my first attempt at making a picture
This is brilliant! Thanks! I thought I was going to have so many ends to weave. I am so glad I found your video
Thank you for showing all those color change and yarn carry and clip techniques, Tamara.
Yes!! Clear instructions. So happy i found your tutorial.
Thank you so much! I have watched a bunch of color changing for C2C and no one really shows how to do the different ways to approach the different situations like you do. I think I am finally understanding how to handle changes from one block of color to one that is farther away.
I'm so glad it's helpful, thank you! It's hard to try to cover *every* scenario but hopefully, this gets you off to a good start!
Great explanation for different types of color changes. Thank you!
I’m soooo in awe as I watched your techniques for color changes in C2C! I’ve saved it to my Crochet Tips folder! 😀

I am so excited to learn this to make picture afghans .
Can you do another video in corner to corner where you have to make a block that is one or 2 blocks over and then do a color change with the color from the previous row.
This..I need to learn this. It’s where I am stuck on bringing back a colour from behind
Thanks!
you did a great job explaining how to change all the colors, working on my granddaughters blanket now, Thank you!!
Very Helpful for a newbie graphgander
Love the blanket can I get the full blanket wood love to make it
Such a cute blanket. Maybe in the future I'll try it.
I have seen other videos where they have these big clips that I could not find in any store, but seeing your video I realized I can use clips.

Thats where you use bobbins - let it hang out until you need it again. Sometimes the background color has lots of bobbins!

Thank you so much! It's definitely one of those "use what works best for each move" situation!
Thank you so much for these tips, they were very helpful. I am doing my first C2C blanket and excited to try your tips.
Thank you so much, this will help me greatly.
I love your video but can you do a video on how to change colors with the slip stitch.i tried to slow the video down but couldn't get it work.
Thanks for your informative way of doing a color change. Could you explain how different in looks if instead of doing a double crochet on a c2c pattern if I do the c2c pattern in half doubles?
The squares are just smaller! :)
Perfect! Thank You. I’ve watched a few other videos, this is so much cleaner.

Fantastic thank you so much for sharing this video ❤
Awesome tutorial and tips. Thank you so very much!!!
Thank you! Can you please tell me where to find the instructions on how you make your “butterfly bobbins”?

can I just use chain 3 through out the pattern

Could you do c2c dolphins. And a. Whale c2c please

@@mooglyblog thank you so much!
Good teacher and i really do thank you for taking the time to make this video but “ Go Ahead” 47 times in a 20 minute video!
How do you know which is the right side and wrong side?
Hopefully it is indicated in the pattern as you begin, but if you're just working from a graph, then usually you start with square one in the bottom left corner, and consider that the Right Side - so odd numbered rows on the right side, even numbered rows on the wrong side. :)
@@mooglyblog so when you change colours it doesn't matter if you leave the old colour at the back or bring it to he front? Thanks.
Try to leave any hanging tails or bobbins on the wrong side as you go, but you can always pull an end to the back before weaving it in if needed. :)
@@bba.by.marilyn It depends - if it's attached to a bobbin, you'll want to leave it in back to pick it up on the return. If you've cut the end, then you can just weave it in on the wrong side when you're done. :)
Definitely helpful but I think it would have been easier to see using white in between and going a little slower.
Hi Gail! I recommend using the gear icon to change the speeds on tutorials - that way you can make it as fast or slow as needed, right when needed!
Im learning c2c why arent you chaining 6 isnt chain 3 for decrease
This video focuses on the color changes within the fabric. You only chain 6 to begin each row when working corner to corner crochet. :) You might want to check out this video first: ua-cam.com/video/4wPWAbsd3fk/v-deo.htmlsi=GN9Gz3PlvZ7kdURX
Sorry, and what about picking up again a colour that you dropped a few blocks ago?
If you want to use the same bobbin, you'll need to crochet over that color in the stitches in between, tapestry style. If it's more than a couple blocks, you'll probably want to start a new bobbin.

Honey, I'm still working on Mr. Giraffe! I am making progress!😂
Not sure what you mean by “once” you know which is RS and which is WS…
Go ahead...x100 😅
