Follow the directions for turning or not turning at the end of each row, carrying unused yarn up the side. Only cut yarn when directed to do so. To change colors at the end of a row, work the last stitch of the old color until two loops remain on hook, yarn over with new color and pull through the last two loops on the hook to complete the stitch.
