If you haven’t quite mastered the art of changing colors in crochet, then don’t worry; variegated yarn makes it possible to create multicolored crochet patterns without learning how to change colors. This particular type of yarn is often referred to as self-striping yarn because the yarn automatically changes colors as you crochet. When you’re done, you have effortlessly created a beautiful, multicolored masterpiece. It’s always a fun adventure to crochet patterns using variegated yarns!
Practically any crochet pattern can be made with variegated yarn, but because of the self-striping effect, there are certain patterns that work better than others. It can sometimes be hard to visualize what a certain pattern will look like worked up with variegeted yarn, so we’ve made it easy for you to get started.
