– Color changes will happen every 4 stitches. You will finish out your last Hdc with your new color. DO NOT CUT YOUR YARN!
-You will NOT crochet over the tail of each color as you go. You will drop the working color and pick up the new color to finish out your last Hdc stitch.
-When you pick up your new color you will pull it across the 4 stitches you just made. This creates a float which will keep the “bumps” of the pattern intact. Make sure to pull the float tight to create the bump effect of the slipper. ← VERY IMPORTANT! See photos below for reference.
– You will also anchor each new color UNDER the old color. There are pictures provided that helps show this. See below.
– For the very last hdc of your row you will anchor the old color before finishing the stitch. Your last squares will roll over onto itself.
