This DYI craft video featured a hopscotch game made using printable iron-on templates featuring characters from Nick Jr.’s “The Backyardigans” TV series. Overall concept was to show how easily a parent could create an indoor version of the kid-favorite outdoor game, using the colorful assets from “The Backyardigans” show.

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet with multiple colours.

The principle when crocheting with multiple colors is to use a separate ball for each color field. In the last stitch of a color wait with last pull through and pull through with next color. It is important to plan the next row when you are working a row, so that you bring the thread to where it will be used on the next row.
I.e in this video the pink will be used from the start of the next row, so when you are finished with the pink color on this row and you continue green, you crochet around the pink yarn so that you bring it to the edge. When changing colors also make sure to twist the strands, and tighten, to avoid holes between colors.

In this DROPS video we show how crochet stripes.

When you crochet stripes, or want to change color, this his how you do it; when working the last stitch with the old color wait with the last pull through. Take new color and now pull trough.Tighten the old thread. Turn work with a ch and keep working with the new color.

If there is a longer distance between the stripes make sure to twist the new color around the previous one when you reach the edge, so that the old color follow the side of your work until you will use it. If this is a sweater the threads will run along the inside of side seam, if it’s a potholder, you can make a crochet edge around the potholder afterward to cover the treads along the edge.
