If you are crocheting single crochet stitches, your work looks like that:
1. In order to change the color, you should start making a normal single crochet stitch - insert the hook in the next stitch.
2. Yarn over and pull a loop.
3. Before you work the final yarn over, drop the old yarn and pick up the new one with your hook, yarn over.
4. Draw loop of the new color through the 2 loops on the hook to finish the single crochet stitch.
Leave a few cm/inches tails at the end of both yarns - the old and the new one. Probably the stitch where you've changed the color easily looses its shape. To avoid this, you should secure the end of the old yarn right after changing the color. Depending on the pattern you are crocheting, you can just make a small knot with both yarn tails. Tiny knots are acceptable if they lie in on the back of your work.
Continue crocheting with the new color yarn.
