🧑‍🎨 Color Change Tips

To change color cleanly, work the last yarn over of the stitch before the change with the new color.
For smooth transitions on the chest, muzzle, and legs, carry the yarn inside the piece and crochet over it.
You may use the invisible color change technique by switching yarns on the last pull-through of the previous color’s stitch.
