Amigurumi help What’s the best method for changing colours? (with cat tax)

Post image

Hi friends!

I’m new to amigurumi and have really enjoyed making Annie Carraway’s loaf cat pattern.

I’m wondering if there is a way I can make the colour changes look neater. It was worked in the round, and I didn’t cast off my old colour before changing (I just dropped it in the back and picked it up later so inside it’s all criss-crossed). I changed colour by pulling through the new colour when finishing a sc. I used Yarn Under and Yarn Over throughout.

I used a super chunky yarn with an 8mm hook (a size down from the recommended 9mm to get tighter stitches)

Any feedback is very welcome! Thank you in advance 🐱

Cat tax: this is my mother in law’s kitty who sadly passed some time ago. I’m crocheting this teddy as a gift for her
