Adding in a new colour

This is how you add in a new colour of yarn to your work:

Step 1: Introduce new yarn:
  • To begin to change yarn colours, make a little loop hook with your new yarn.
  • No tying, nothing difficult at all. Just a little hook right that we will put over our right knitting needle.
  • Keep your yarn somewhat taught in your right hand while knitting.

Step 2: Knit new yarn through
  • Knit the second yarn colour through.
  • You are now knitting with only the second yarn colour (white).

Step 3: Continue knitting with the new yarn
  • Continue knitting with the new yarn colour.
  • And once we come around, we are just going to knit into that very first white stitch of the second colour while holding everything nice and tight.

Step 4: Cut and weave in your old yarn ends
  • When you are ready, cut the original yarn colour and weave in your ends.
