How do I change colors of yarn in knitting?


Answer

This depends on what kind of knitting you do. If you are knitting a stripe pattern using different colors in rows then you can just attach a new color at the beginning of a row. You can do a cross tie and then weave the ends in when your work is done or you can do a loop and knit both strains of yarns together as shown in this video below;

If you're doing picture knitting or intarsia, you can add color yarn right where you need it. Leave enough tail at the beginning to weave in later.

These are just some examples I want to show you. There are many more on Youtube.com.
