      it's a good idea to tie it so it's more secure but it might unravel if it's cut too short. you can always tie a knot and still crochet the ends in

      @Zoey5374 Год назад +82

      What if you followed what she does in the video but also tie the tails of the yarn together? I’m not sure how it would work but it might add a little extra comfort since the knot would still be there but hidden and secured with the technique used in the video. I haven’t switched colours much when crocheting and haven’t crocheted in a little while but definitely want to start again soon. I’m definitely the same way though, I tie knots whenever I’m worried about how a yarn project will hold together (knitting, crocheting, etc).

    Those ends are not secure. You must "weave" in your ends back and forth. These will work their way loose and leave holes as the blanket gets used and washed ✌️❤️😊

      @rla8125 Год назад +25

      I always tie a knot before I crochet over my ends. I had a blanket come out of the wash with an end undone and unraveled about 6 rows once. After that I ALWAYS tie a knot. It works the same, you just tie a small knot before you work over the ends. :)

    • @stefanilabbe7497
      @stefanilabbe7497 Год назад +13

      I use this same technique, although I leave the tails a bit longer. I usually crochet them into the row for about 10 stitches and then weave the tail back on itself twice. This ensures the yarn goes a different direction 3 times so it won’t come out. Tedious, but I’ve never had a project unravel doing it this way. Crocheting it into the row the first time just saves you from weaving it once.

  • @yourfac377
    @yourfac377 5 месяцев назад +1

    I would throw just a quick little double knot on there, and I do because I've had projects come apart like this because just weaving in those ends isn't going to necessarily secure it enough to prevent that from unraveling. Especially if it's a blanket or something that you've told the person they can wash in a machine, even on delicate

    Although I knew this, thanks for telling me that I can crochet around the tails so that I won't have to weave it again later! This definitely saves time!

    This is how I’ve always transitioned my colors. So much easier than weaving in all the ends

    Wow! I just learned so much 1 don't tie your ends when you change colors it looks horrible. 2 how to change the color and 3 how to make it look flawless. ❤

    Love this idea! I’ve crocheted with the tails but never around them. That looks way easier😍

    THANK YOU FOR WEAVING YOUR ENDS IN LIKE THIS its how i do it and this is like the first time i’ve seen anyone else do it like this and it makes so much sense because everyone complains about weaving in ends and i’m just like screaming “CROCHET IT IN AS YOU GO” at my phone 😂

    This is how I do my color changes and it saves me so much time at the end and that way I don’t have 3000 ends so weave in.
