      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

      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).

      Good 😆 better than hours of work to get oofed in the wash.
      The only thing that that would be a good idea with is wool because it felts to itself and makes a fleece.

  • @yourfac377
    @yourfac377 6 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

  • @jewelofgod4262
    @jewelofgod4262 Год назад +17

    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 ✌️❤️😊

      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.

    Thank you 🎉 I have watched at least three different videos of how to do this and they have all done it differently and it is messy. This is how I figured out how to do it myself the way you did it🎉

    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.
