How to Change Color

Work the last stitch in the previous row as normal until the last step and you have three loops left on the hook; drop the old color, pick up the new color, and draw through all loops to complete the stitch. 

Notes

When substituting yarn, choose a soft yarn that drapes well. Also, I found going up a hook size helps to give this stitch a lacier look and softer drape.

Beginning chains made at the start of rows and rounds do not count as stitches.
