More Than 2 Colors

Use the same techniques as for 2 colors, except that you should not crochet over more than 1 or 2 strands of yarn. If you are working with more strands, leave them behind the work for a few stitches, and pick them up when needed. In knitting, these threads on the wrong side of the work are called floats.

This is the back of a leaf on the Rose Square. The green stitches are worked over the off-white yarn, and the pink floats behind.
