HOW TO CHANGE COLOR WITH SINGLE CROCHET

Picture 1. Pause one stitch before it's time to change the color.
Picture 2. Start to make the next single crochet as usual but pause when you have two loops on your hook.

Picture 3. Take your new yarn and put it on your crochet hook.
Picture 4. Pull the new yarn through the two loops on your hook.
Tadaa! You've changed the color!
 
Cut off the old yarn if you don't need the old color any more. If you're crocheting in the round you can tie a knot with the two yarn ends. The knot will be hidden inside of your projekt. If you're crocheting back and forth you'll get a nicer result by weaving in the ends.
