The Pattern
01Half Color Changes
Before I teach you the two techniques, in order to truly crochet stripes perfectly, you need to first know how to do half color changes with the single crochet. Without them, sure you can get a pretty seamless vertical join down the back, but you won’t get a really clean horizontal line between the stripes.
For a Half color change we’re crocheting the top of the stitch in one color and the bottom in another. This can be used to make really detailed designs in your amigurumi, which I’ll be discussing in a future video, but for now here’s how it’s done.

I’m trying to download the pdf for changing colors in the round. I joined as a member but it’s not allowing me to do this. I would appreciate help in trying to retrieve this info. Thanks. Bea0525
I am having the same issue
Thank you
Thank You for your Wonderful techniques!!
Have a question, if you please!!
After our last color stripe though, how do we proceed to make it on the round without it going at an angle?
Like a hat sitting on at a slant?
Thank you for making crocheting so easy.
Thank tou very very much
