You can substitute another colorway or yarn for the Simply Soft Paints yarn to get a different look for your tree.
- If you use a weight 3 yarn, hold two strands together. To get a marled effect, pull the starting strands from two different points in the color pattern.
- If you use a weight 4 yarn, only use one strand. However, if you use a thinner weight 4 yarn (such as another colorway of Caron Simply Soft), you might have to use a looser gauge with it than with the Caron One Pound yarn. Alternatively, you could try holding 2 strands together, though you’ll need more yarn if you go this route.
To avoid getting my yarn tangled as I worked and having to weave in a bunch of ends, I cut a several-inch tail every time I changed colors. I wove the tail through the square it came from so it was sticking up into the next row. Then, when I got to the matching color in that next row, I crocheted over the tail.
- If I didn’t use the same color in the next row, or if there wasn’t enough of that color in the next row to cover the tail, I went ahead and weaved in the tail as normal.
- You may need to leave longer tails and/or do more weaving if you use Simply Soft Paints or any other Simply Soft yarn, given how slick it is.
If you use a colorway with white in it for the “leaves,” make sure you don’t work any of the edge squares entirely in white. A square like this will blend into the background color and make the tree look asymmetrical.
