Dealing with lots of ends with lots of colour changes

making anything in stripes means lots of colour changes and lots of ends......dealing with them can be a pain.....just chain a few stitches, and add a small circle to the end of each colour change.

For each colour change chain a few stitches...about 20 then make a small ring at the end of the ch20 by doing 9sc into the 2nd ch from the hook.

4sc one side of the 20ch sts, and 5sc the other side of the 20 ch sts, making a small ring of 10sc. Cut and weave in ends
