Note: For seamless color changes, introduce the new color on the last yarn over of the stitch before the one you want the new color shown. Put another way, the new color is introduced on the final yarn over of the stitch before. If you need a more visual example of color changes, see this photo tutorial How to Seamlessly Change Colors in Crochet.

Love the peppermint candy design. The back is very messy. How do you change colors without making the item look so messy?
I had this same problem so I made a solid back and single crochet them together. Now it looks super neat and it adds stability to it.
