Tip: Get straight lines with self striping yarns

I think self striping yarns are a BRILLIANT invention! Whoever makes up the colors so they just seem to work is wonderful. The only thing is sometimes I wish I could avoid the “jog” in colors and create a pretty, straight line.

I picked up the AMAZING Red Heart Yarns neon and primary stripes LOVE them! I knew I wanted to give them a try right away.

See how gorgeous they are! We were on a trip so I made little bags we could use in the car and on our adventures. Click HERE for the FREE crochet pattern.

 

Sometimes I wish I could make stripe yarns look like I actually changed yarns each stripes. I was designing a witch, Miss Snappycadabra, and wanted the colors from the neon stripes for her socks. I was determined to eliminate the “jog” between color changes.

LOOK! I did it!

But how???

I hope you will give this a try. It is for single crochet worked in the round. I am working on other stitches too.

If you give it a try please post below in the comments and let me know how it goes.

Remember to crochet happy 🙂
