"In this segment we will be talking about choosing colors. Now you can get a color wheel at any art supply store and this can help you in choosing your colors to find what looks good together. This will really help you be more artistic with your work and now to switch colors you take your first color and there are two different ways of doing this. You can take the second color, make a slip knot and put it on the hook with the first color and you draw the yarns, both of the yarns through the loop then you can cut off the first, the original color and continue on with your second color like this and the second method of switching colors is to cut off the first color and then you take the second color and add it in with a slip stitch. And that's how you can switch colors in crochet."
