By Amy O'Neill Houck PHOTOGRAPHS BY JACK DEUTSCH ‘The next time you embark on a new crochet project, take a minute to think about the many ways you can infuse your work with your own creative touch. Even if you're following a pattern’ i instructions to the letter, you can put your own spin on a design just by changing the colors. You may be surprised to find yourself creating your own colorfll masterpieces by simply changing a few hues. ‘When adding color to a piece, it can be difficult to know whether a combination will work. Look for color inspiration every- ‘where—something as simple as a bouquet of flowers or pain for yarn, choose shades that match your inspiration image. When color is the focus of your erocher, stitches and tex ating you love can provide you with a color palette. When shopping ture often take a back seat, so choose a pattern that features a solid fabric in a basic stitch, and you'll have more room to play. Now, let's get started. A Step Ahead The most important aspect of crocheting with color is knowing how to change from one color to the next. To do this, begin while working the last stitch of color A. Work that stitch until the last yarn over, then yarn over with color 8 (lef) and complete the stitch. Work the next stitch entirely in color B; this will ‘appear as the first stitch worked in color B. Ifthe stitches look a bit loose, pull gently on the yarn ends of each color to tighten slightly. Use this technique any time you change color, Between the Lines If stripes are what you'd like to add, it couldn't be simpler. ‘You can begin a new color at the start of any row, and carry unused colors up the side of your work so they're tidy and at the ready when you need them. Always finish the last stitch of the row with the new color as described ahave. { Bae ‘Sas Round and Round | ‘When working a striped project in the round, the basic concept is the same as ‘working in rows. Instead of carrying the yarn along the edges, you'll carry it on the wrong side of the work at the end of each round. TE you are joining rounds as you work, you'll achieve concentric circles, like a bulls-eye (fig. a). To do this, join each round with a slip stitch (work the slip stitch in the new color; ie, the color you'll be using for the next round). Working the rounds in spirals rather than joining with a slip stitch, will result in a “jog” ‘where the color skips up 2 tound (fig. b). To minimize the look of the jog, you can scatter your color changes arniind the rirele "The stripes will not be identical but the jog won't be as evident.Paint a Picture in Yarn of the fabric you're creating. Tapestry Crochet This method creates a fabric which is quite stiff and strong because you crochet over the color or colors that aren‘t being used. Typically, taper- try crochet is worked tightly tohhide the carried yern; color changes are worked just as described at the ginning ofthis article The trademark technique in tapestry crochet involves | crocheting over the non- working yarn by holding the Unused yarn on top of the stitches of the row below and working the current row's stitches over the carried yarn (above). Tapestry crochet is most often worked in single crochet When worked in the round, the stitches slant slightly due to the shape of the stitches (right). IF tapestry crochet is worked back and forth in rows, the colorwork will slant one direction on one | row, and the other direction on the next row, giving the illusion of a straight line. Intarsia With color and crochet, you can essentially design your own colored and patterned fabri images within your crochet, and there are a variety of ways to do it. Here are several methods for creating images by changing color. Each style or technique will affect the look: and feel Tes easy to create simple Back Loop or Bosnian Crochet If tapestry crochet is worked in the round, in the back loop only of each stitch, the resulting image will have straight lines as shown at left. This technique gives a thinner, softer fab- rie that works well for garments and wearable accessories. This technique is sometimes called Bosnian Crochet. Stranding Stranding (also know as Fair Isle) involves carrying the unused yarn cr yarns on the wrong side of the work, Instead of crocheting over ‘the unused yam, simply “float” the strands on the wrong side. Strands should be carried no more than four or five stitches at a time; if you have blocks of color that are longer then this, "lock in” the carried yarn by exocheting over it every few stitches. With this technique, the carried strands are visible on the wrong side of the project (bottom right. Inall of the other types of color work explained here, the unused yam is carried along the back of the work, adding to the thickness and structure of the fabric you're creating. These techniques work best when you have a repeating pattern that is carried across the work. Often, however, you might want to crochet an image only in one part of the fabric, and it wouldn't make sense to have the colors carried along Finishing if you're not going to reuse them. Here’s where intarsia comes in. With intarsia, the colors are started and ended only when needed. To accomplish this, small bobbins of colored yarn (usually only a few yards each) are used to cro- chet the small sections of color. Working in intarsia is easy. Begin 2 color as described at the beginning of the article, then, when you're done with it for that row, let it drop. IF you'l need the same color on the ‘opposite side of the chart, you'll need a second When you're finished with a colorwork project, there are often Tots of yarn ends to weave in. They'll be disguised best if theyre woven under like colors. ‘You can also crochet over your ends to save time, but you may find that this adds unwanted bulk, so experiment to see what ‘works best for you. m bobbin, but you can carry a color up one side (at the back of your work) and use it in subsequent rows. Unlike stranding or Far Isle, with this method, there are no carried yarn strands visible on the back of the work.crocnet Qoctor® expert advice Our pro tells you how to change colors perfectly, work a flat circle and make lacy yarn ends stay put. By Linda Permann When I switch colors, I always have an extra loop of the previous color in the first stitch. How can I prevent this? ‘This is a common problem for beginners, but one that is easily fixed. Because the last yarn over of a previous stitch becomes the “top” of the next stitch, you'll need to switch the colors before you begin the first alternately colored stitch, For instance, let's say you are changing from red to blue yarn. While working your last red stitch, make the last yarn over of the stitch in blue, and pull it through the final two red loops on your hook. Then continue stitching as normal with the blue. Ifyou are working in rounds, the same holds true. Make the last yarn over of the last stitch of the round in blue, join, and continue stitching in blue. ‘This will give you a seamless color change. Oo 7 I'm trying to crochet in the round, 2 , = What is the best but my circle keeps warping. How do I make = way to weave a circle lie flat? = A: you'll put 2 stitches in every fourth in yarn ends on lace or 2 Im glad you asked, because stitch of the fifth round to get the 2 there's an easy formula for making _ correct number of increases. You'll thread crochet? flat circles. The general idea is this: find this simple trick extremely Pe wae wave wth tac aces ‘You need to add the same number helpfilifyou put your project down | hreag, leave a longer (8) tal and use a of stitches you used in round 1of between rounds—you can simply, é your circle to each following round. count to see which round you're on, For example, if round 1 is 10 stitch-_and you'll know where to make your es, round 2 should have 20 stitches, increases. round 3 should have 30, and so on. But how do you know where to put ‘those stitches? In the second round, you'll need an extra stitch (also known as an increase) in each of the 10 stitches from the first round in order to make 20. In round 3, you'll only need one in every second stitch; for round 4, every thied stitch. Subtract 1 from the round number you're working, and thet's where youll add each extra stitch. For example, § minus 1 is 4, so yarn needle to weave in your ends. The blunt end of the needle will keep you from splitting stitches as you weave. Weave the yarn into the backside of your work in one direction (diagonals work well) then come back in the opposite direction to make sure the ends are snug, If your lacework project needs to be blocked, weave in the ends before blocking, but dont trim them until after the project is blocleed, jst in case they are tempted to slide out during the blocking process. Once ‘you do cut the yarn end, you may want to dab abit of fabric glue on the end to ensure that it will stay secure. mSieienacsse secre Uiaesscuat een stit ae Seneca led ee lias Bree ciaei aie rule) Te@iec ose Gxoren gical Coneclomescanoel ice: eworoonamn sean Sy RaUlLaMmra FoR ease a Sie aM, Pines akeyr sy hioesodc KE EE RAMEN PUR SOUNJD'S PAM.mesh cover-up Perfect for a day at the pool or a walk on the beach, this tunic is all about cool comfort.
