Before you yarn over and draw through the last two loops on your hook, change color. Use the new color to complete the last action of the stitch, and the color change will be seamless. Now, another concern is how and where you keep your yarn in the back of your work. This won't be much of an issue if working in the round, but if working back and forth, you will need to work a bit harder at hiding the new and old colors. It will also matter how far apart the different color stitches are. If you carry the second color along the back for too long, you run the risk of it pulling stitches too tight. HTH!
