🧵 How to Cleanly Change Colors

  • On a single stitch: Before finishing the last pull-through of your sc, switch to the new color and pull it through to finish. This gives a clean transition.

  • For jagged face borders: Use a staggered change over a few rows rather than switching all at once to avoid a harsh line.

Happy crocheting! 🧶🦊 May your Arctic Fox bring warmth and charm to your handmade collection—feel free to customize the colors or add a snowy forest backdrop for an extra magical touch!
