    Great video, but I am a bit confused as to what is the right and wrong side of the work. The piece on which I am presently working has the right side working from right to left on the pattern, so should the yarn be on the back of the piece in this case? It would be so helpful to me if you could clarify this . Thanks so very much and have a great day.

      You can technically float the yarn behind, or crochet over it to carry it but I wouldn't recommend doing it very far at all. Those are different techniques though, but I combine this technique with occasionally carrying the yarn through when it will just be a few stitches away that I use it again.

    So I can drop m yarn always to the front? I’ve seen other videos saying it always has to be on the “wrong/back side” of work so sometimes you have to drop yarn at back or front depending on what side is facing you. Now I’m confused haha

    Thank you for this lovely insightful video. Your projects are always so beautiful 💖💖 . Well done. I would like to try my hands at working with graphs... when doing Graphghan Crochet or Tapestry Crochet, do you have always turn your work at the end of each row??? It can be quite confusing getting familiar/understanding the differences with Graphghan Crochet, Tapestry Crochet and Intarsia Crochet. THANK YOU for your help 😊😊

    Great and clear video although I don’t do graphgans, thank you! However, does this work with amigurumi that are worked in rounds? Or is it just unnecessary for amigurumi as one side of the piece would be hidden?

    Question! I have a star wars millennial falcon blanket I'm doing. It has 3 clones that interchange constantly, but the project requires me to chain and turn at the end of each row. How to I do multiple colors while keeping it neat? For instance, it'll have me do 50 black sc, 3 light grey sc, 2 dark grey sc, 1 medium grey sc, 3 dark grey sc, 2 light grey sc, 1 medium sc, etc...how do I possibly keep the image clean and neat on one side while change colors so frequently? Any tips?

    @sealpup9341 8 місяців тому

    It might be a long shot but I'm wondering how you would do a color change by pulling a color that on the previous row is on the right hand side of your stitching? Not sure if this makes sense but if my pattern has like... O being the light cream color and X being the darker brown C being a green color...
    5 OOOOO
    4 OOXOO
    3 OXCXO
    2 OOXOO
    1 OOOOO
    (Its a sort of plus sign?)
    im on the 4th row and the brown from the 3rd row is to the right of my stitching. I couldn't really carry it through the cream because its up a row and also darker? If i pull that brown up, there's not really a way to hide it, it just kindof makes a line behind the work and I'm trying to make a blanket. Would I have to make a separate litte pile of my brown yarn for movement on a diagonal like that? It was easy for going at an angle on the other side, but now there's nowhere for me to hide the brown. Sorry if this is a bit complicated! I'm very new to this type of crochet! If anyone can help I'd be super grateful! This channel has been a must have for learning how these complicated color changes work, so thank you for the tutorial video!
