Yarn Yarn
Posted on Tuesday, June 17th, 2008 at 7:13 pmHow do I join in new yarn and carry yarn up a row in crocheting???
Can anyone explain or have a website link that can help me with carrying yarn up with granny squares. I am trying to do a granny square with alternating colors in each row, since I will be using the first color again in the next row I don't want to have to cut it and weave in ends each time. i'm not quite sure how to join in new colors and carry up the previous color I used to a new row! Please help!!
To carry a yarn "up" the work, you're going to need to "lock" the "carry" yarn within the stitches.
To do this, after completing row 1, on the very last stitch do your color change. When creating your turning chain, ensure to trap your 1st color with each chain created: hold 1st color against back of hook, yarn over with new color and create chain. Note that the 1st color should be "trapped" -- not created into a chain with 2nd color! Repeat for each additional chain; then drop "carried" yarn and work rnd 2 as needed.
At last stitch of rnd 2, you'll need to "trap" the main color again, but this time within the body of the stitch you're working with. If you're working with double crochets, yarn over with color 2 and hold color 1 on backside of hook, insert hook into desired space/st, yarn over & draw up loop (3 loops on hook & 1st color "trapped") Yarn over and remove 2 loops; 1st color is now in position to help with color change for rnd 3.
I know this sounds a little confusing, but with practice it does become quite easy to do.
