Today’s video is a quick tip / tutorial that shows you how to switch colors for striped crochet patterns, and avoid the odd little jog or color “bleed” that you can get if you finish the last stitch with the same color.
An easy change that makes a big difference in the finished product! Hopefully we’ll be filming more very soon.
Also, please note the new pattern and video menus on the right side of the page!
These menus should make it a lot easier to find the free moogly crochet patterns, knit patterns, and video tutorials available on our site. As the lists get longer, these may change to drop down menus, we’ll see. There have been a few other tweeks to the blog this week, and we hope to continue to improve in both looks and usability. If there are any suggestions you have for the site, or comments on the video, please let us know in the comments! And come back for another free pattern on Friday!

I am a self taught crocheter and I just stumbled onto your site I love the free tips and the video tutorials I am learning sooo much more, I have a question can you show or tell how one blocks acrylic yarn I have also heard it called killing it don’t really understand the process. Thank you so much for the teaching and sharing

I’m on my phone out of the house so I can’t link, but if you use the search bar at the top of the page, and type in “acrylic killer” it should bring up a post I did on just that! Thanks for reading!

Shoot! I don’t know if I successfully published my question! It was: do you weave in yarn ends every two rows when you change colors on the blackberry baby blanket? Your video says to carry down the side and then snip and weave in. Isn’t that a short end to snip and weave? Do you have a video of how to neatly secure ends?
Hi again, I think I answered your questions on the Baby Blanket post.
