Lion Brand tip for working with Amazing yarn:
When working the double crochet pattern, we used 2 balls of yarn. On every second row, we changed balls so that 2 rows were worked with one ball, then 2 rows were worked with the second ball alternately to distribute the yarn colors. We worked the bands using just one ball.
