as i promised

As I promised, I made another hanging kitchen towel. This is my favorite so far. Please remember, I am self-taught. I can see some improvements already, but I like to write the pattern as I did it in the pictures. I am sure I will crochet several more towels in the future and be able to update a revised pattern. For now, I think this will get you through. Have fun choosing your favorite colors, or choose one out of the ordinary. If you have any questions, just ask me here or on FB in the Stitchery.

Some photos of how I switch colors in the last two loops.

I drop the strand of yarn that I have been using before I yo and pull through the last two loops on my hook. I pick up a new strand of a different color yarn. 

Here, I have yo'd and pulled through the last 2 loops with the new strand. You will want to continue as normal for at least 3 to 5 stitches before you snug the ends.
