It's time for Part 2 of our Christmas Skittles Crochet-Along!

Hello crafters! We hope you enjoyed part one of this Christmas Skittles crochet-along. Next up are two adorable elf skittles and a stripy ball. It’s the perfect opportunity to practise colour sequences. Want to know how to create an invisible change and avoid unsightly sections? As you make the last stitch in the old colour, pause before the last step of that stitch. For the final ‘yarn over hook and draw through all loops on hook’, substitute the new yarn, so you draw the new yarn through your loops. Hey presto! The ball is given an even stripier finish with a touch of surface crochet too – simply check out our Great Advice for guidance on how to do it. Do let us know how you’re getting on!
