* As you can see we work half of the row with ColorA and half of

the row with ColorB

Row2: ColorB ch 2 then dc across until you reach ColorA and finish

the last st of ColorB with ColorA then drop off ColorB and then

for the first Dc of ColorA instead of normal dc put the hook behind

the ColorA yarn that you picked up then dc through three

loops( front loop and back loop and yarn ColorA that you picked

up).

*do this so the place of changing the color looks cleaner.
