When switching skeins, pay attention to the last color in the first skein and the first color in the second skein. To maintain the pattern, you may have to end the first skein before your thread runs out. 

For instance, my pattern was purple, green, white, blue. The end of my first skein was purple, but the beginning of my second skein was white. I crocheted the remainder of my first skein up to the end of the last patch of green and the beginning of the last patch of white then joined my second skein after snipping the first. I carried the remainder of the first skein and the tail of the second while crocheting the beginning of the second skein over top.
