✨ Color Change Tip

When switching from one color to another (e.g., for muzzle or belly):
On the last stitch of the old color, insert the hook, yarn over and pull up a loop (you now have 2 loops).
Instead of finishing with the old color, yarn over with the new color and pull through. Now continue crocheting with the new color. This creates a smooth transition without a bump.
