Step 4: Color Changes (Optional)

• You can change yarn colors at the beginning, middle, or end of any row.
• To change colors, start your last double crochet of the row with the old color but do not finish the last yarn over.
• Grab the new color, finish the double crochet with it, chain 1, and continue.
• Weave in yarn ends later; the mesh stitch conceals them well.

• Feel free to alternate colors every few rows.
