Here is how you should do it:

Come to the point where you need to change colors. It does not matter if it is the end or the middle of a row/round. The point is that the last stitch of main color has to be finished with the new color. When you have two loops left on your crochet hook and you are about to complete a stitch (single crochet, double crochet, triple crochet, etc.), pick up the new color and finish your stitch with it. Here is our photo tutorial to make the process clearer. It describes how to change colors while working single crochet. However, the principle is the same for other type of stitches.



“A” stands for the main colour, “B” stands for the new colour.

1. Work with your main yarn up to the point where you want to change colors. Leave the last stitch unfinished. You have two loops on your hook.

2. Pick up the color B yarn, leaving a tail . Pull the color B yarn through both loops on the hook.

3. Continue working with the color B yarn. Work the next stitch as follows. Insert your hook into the next stitch and then under both the colour A yarn and the tail you have left when you joined the color B yarn. Yarn over with the colour B yarn and complete the single crochet so the colour A yarn and the colour B tail of yarn are crocheted into the fabric. Work two more stitches the same way. Make sure yarn tails that are crocheted over do not tighten the piece.

4. Cut the color A yarn and continue working with the color B yarn.

5. Leave the last stitch unfinished. You have two loops on your hook.

6. Pick up the colour A yarn, leaving a tail. Pull the color A yarn through both loops on the hook.

7. Continue working with the color A yarn. Work the next stitch as follows. Insert your hook into the next stitch and then under both the color B yarn and the tail you have left when you joined the color A yarn. Yarn over with the color A yarn and complete the single crochet so the color B yarn and the color A tail of yarn are crocheted into the fabric. Work two more stitches the same way.

8. Cut the color B yarn and continue working with the color A yarn. As you can see, you save yarn working this way, get a nice right side as all the tails remain on the wrong side of the piece. Your work is neither tightened nor misshapen.
In conclusion, we advise that you practice the technique with some scrap or leftover yarn until you are satisfied with the result and ready to practice it with your project.

Oh, changing colors in amigurumis and wanting them perfectly aligned? Now that’s a skill that separates the casual crocheter from the pro! The secret is to plan your color changes at the end of a stitch rather than the beginning, so your new color starts cleanly without any awkward bumps. I like to finish the last stitch of the old color but don’t complete that final yarn over—instead, yarn over with the new color and pull through. This way, your stitches line up like a well-rehearsed choir, all singing in harmony. It takes a bit of practice, but once you master it, your amigurumi will have color changes so neat even your grandma would be impressed!

To change colors in amigurumi and keep it neat, I suggest you work in spiral rounds and join new yarns at the beginning of each round. When switching, make sure to leave the old color's tail long enough to weave in later. Try to keep the color change right at the edge of the stitch, so the join is neat and aligned. It helps to pull the new color tight when you begin to prevent any gaps!

When you change to the new one, make the fist stitch of the new color is a slip stitch. Jope it helps
