Step Two
Now that you have your supplies ready it is time to make the pillow front.
When you change color, when you are on the last stitch of the color you are using start the stitch as normal, insert it into the stitch, pull up a loop, but then rather than finishing the stitch with the old color, grab the new color with your hook and pull it through to finish the stitch.
Also, there are different methods for doing colorwork project like this as far as the way you carry your yarn, some people prefer the clean look of using bobbins, I chose simply to carry my yarn along the back of my project since it was going inside and no one would see it.
When you work a color change always leave your yarn ends hanging on the wrong side, when you are working a wrong side row you will need to pull the yarn to the wrong side before continuing with the next color.
to make the front begin with the gray yarn and H hook
