Color Change
The success of your crochet depends on the right technique of changing color. It is crucial to change the yarn while working the last stitch in the initial color. That is: Insert hook into indicated stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop. Then wrap the new color around your hook and complete the stitch as usual by pulling the yarn through both loops on the hook. The next stitch is the first in the new color.

Finishing
Fasten off and leave a long tail to close the hole. But before closing make a hanger:
Change to color C, leave a long thread at the beginning and crochet chain stitches (approx. 14 cm). Fasten off and leave a long thread again. Knot both threads to make a loop and cut the ends short.
To close the hole, thread the long tail onto a needle (see next picture, it shows the steps of closing):
(1) Insert the needle into the next front loop from the outside to the inside. Repeat for the next 7 stitches. \
(2) When you have drawn the thread through each stitch, put the knotted part of the loop into the opening and pull the thread tight.
Draw the thread through the loop too and tie a knot to secure. Weave in the end.
