I crochet to the changing point, then, marking that point on the yarn, rip out enough to do the join – say 10 inches or so.

Then when I go back and redo the last few color 1 stitches, it changes to color 2 at the point it should.

It’s already about 3 to 4 feet wide so it’s a bit too late and frustrating to pull out and fix now. I just tried this however on a jester hat where I used the last of one skein of yarn and simply joined the new skein to it seamlessly and I love it! Thanks so much for this.

One of the strands is the tail of your working yarn, and the other is the new ball you’re joining in.

Can you picture it now?

I’m going to have to try it soon, plus I think I’ll link to this on my blog. Thank you so much for sharing!!! <3

Can’t wait to try it – hopefully it will stop all that fumbling around trying to get a good join!
