You're great!! 50 years of crocheting, and I've never seen this! I absolutely love how younger people like you have modernized the craft! So fresh and fun! Thank you ❤
This end-of-the-row hack is great! I’ve used the knot in the middle of the row but not at the end. Thanks for this tip. (I’ve been crocheting for almost 60 years. There’s always something new to learn!)
I've been knitting and crocheting for YEARS. This is my first lacey project and I've been trying to figure out how to weave in tails when I add my new skein. I will ABSOLUTELY take a teeny little knot if it means I don't have to do my least favorite part.
I love the way you worked out how to get the knot hidden in the last stitch. So clever. I also understand why someone wouldn’t want all those knots (even though they’re small), but I tend to weave in like the world is ending so the bulk of all the back and forths would be bigger than a knot anyway, making this a big improvement for the things I make. Thanks for sharing!
My concern is whether washing and drying will cause the knot to fall apart over time. I think I need to make a doll-sized blanket with lots of color changes, and wash and dry it a number of times. Maybe then I could relax and enjoy this technique. I truly hate weaving in ends, and I do avoid projects with lots of color changes.
I've been doing this for a long time and love your explanation on how to do the knot at the end of a row. I also find that if the knot at the end is a little noticable, a border will hide it. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! This is a total game changer for me. I’ve watched several other magic knot videos but yours is the absolute BEST! The others were just too confusing. Yours is simple and comes out perfectly every time! Thanks again! ❤
I hope both sides of your pillow are cold, I hope you hit all green lights while traveling, and I hope you know you are a blessing for this. It may be an old trick but your video came at the perfect time
#lifesaver I'm working on a blanket with multiple color changes right now and just tried this magic knot method for changing colors (I've always use the magic knot to add same-color yarn, but never used it for changing colors). It's official...I will never weave in another end again 😂. MANY, many thanks!! Keep the tips and tricks coming!!
Hey girl, omg this is a great tip for projects like temperature blankets. I've used that knot to continue projects when I run out but never thought about using that trick other ways. Thanks for sharing
This is sooooo awesome! I really don’t like weaving in and I put knots in my weave ins anyway because I’m scared of things unraveling so this is perfect!
I've been using this magic knot for a couple years. I found it here on RUclips but don't recall the lady's channel. The only time I've ever had it come out is if the knots weren't tight enough & too close to the ends. So, be sure knots are pulled as tight as possible.
Great video! I’m working on my first bigger project with lots of colour changes and it’s been a nightmare to weave all the threads. This has helped so much and got me excited to continue again!
Oh my goodness you are a life saver! I’m one of the people that avoided many projects or changing colors often simply because the stupid ends CONSTANTLY poke out and make my work look bad so I avoided as many color changes . I love the rice stitch and it looks best with lots of color changes so now I’m going to be using this trick forever! I hate weaving ends in and it looks terrible anyways. Your amazing!😮
Oh my gosh! I’ve used the knot when switching from one ball to another because I ran out of yarn but using it to change colors is brilliant. Thank you for sharing this. I will definitely be using this.
I love the magic knot. Discovered it about a year ago. Thank you for showing how to use it at the end of a row. I think it makes my work so much neater. I never have been very good at weaving in ends.
Thank you! Just started my temperature blanket and started out the first couple rows by crocheting over the ends (weave in as you go method) but I hate the little ends that poke through, and all the extra bulk it adds to the beginning of the new row. Im going to switch to the knot method and just pray the ones i already crocheted over will hold. Thank you for saving my sanity as I finish this project. I cant tell you how many times ive avoided projects because i didnt want to weave in ends.
I just used this trick on some baling twine on my goat's hay net, total game changer. I'll be sure to use it in my crochet too! Thank you!😍 Love from Maine, Deb
I use this when a ball of yarn ends but Not when changing colours but I will be now I didn’t even think about using it when changing colours that’s brilliant thankyou for showing us this.
I don't mind the almost invisible knot, it is worth it! Thank you for giving excellent directions! I am learning these tips and tricks that are saving us! Thank you!
Your eyes are very pretty! I do tiny knots as well, but before I turn my yarn threads into a knot, I add a tiny dab of glue and then do the knot process. I do the first step like you are tying a shoe. Then I add my tiny dot of glue, and then I make my knot. It just helps it be a bit more secure, and nobody notices it because you are putting a border around your project anyway😊!
This is perfect timing. Today im starting a twin size blanket every row is a color change 😌 I've been putting it off for years they don't even make some of the colors anymore but I'm determined to start and finish it this tip is perfect 👌 had I known about the knot trick I might have started 10 years ago. Thank you very much your knowledge is appreciated 🙏 😊
I like the first tip better because I am working on a tapestry, I only have about 16 hours to weave in hundreds of ends. It’s for an event and I think this might’ve saved me so much time, thank youuuuu
😂Haha I'm actually working on a temperature blanket this year and wanted to start tying in all my loose ends so I don't have to do it all at the end of the year. I saw this video and was like, this might be the answer to my problem Lolll
Ahhh...thank you. Just finished a blanket with a billion weaved in ends. Shoot, wish I would have known this. I was just thinking, well it looks ok now but the first time it's washed there's going to be a billion ends sticking out. Doing these knots next time FOR SURE!!!!😆
I have not done this yet but I am sure it will save me A LOT of frustration. I am the type of person that when I find imperfections within my projects I hate the whole thing and want to start over but I think this might be perfect!
Glad I watches your video . I tie a knot like you showed in the middle of a row , but I never saw that you trim the yarn . So I would do the knot and leave a tail , but I guess I have double security from coming loose . Ha Ha Have a great day .
To answer, "then what?": if an end happens to reveal itself, don't trim! Weave it back in. I also tell that to anyone I gift or sell a make to. I leave the tails a little long on purpose, and weave them very well, but even so, it can happen. This method would prevent that, so it appears to be a good method. Thanks for the video.
It’s such a great hack but surprisingly it came undone when I had to pull really hard- even after I had tugged really hard on it to secure it before snipping the ends! I was so surprised but glad it came undone when it did before I went further with my stitches. And I followed how to do the knot step by step. 🤷🏻♀️ it was a soft cotton so I don’t know if that’s why? Maybe more slippery than other yarns?
I think the tutorial I watched said to go over the top of the working yarn when tying 1 knot & under when tying the 2nd knot. It seems to make a difference in how the knots seat together.
You’re not doing it right. This knot has MANY names and MANY uses and probably originated thousands of years ago. Going fishing with my Granddaddy is where I learned, tying a new fishing line on so ya can keep fishing if you snap your line. Rock climbing, creating a solid rope with 3 or 4 short pieces. Practicing this knot may be easier to learn using a thicker yarn or even a couple shoe laces.
This is a clever connection. I've used it for making pendants with leather cord.... so, why didn't it dawn on me to use it on a million color changes over the years ? LOL Thanks !! be well 🦋
I use the magic knot a lot, but you have to be careful, if you're using a slippery type of yarn, like a dk I've just finished 3 blankets with, magic knots can come undone (ask me how I know lol)
I swore off knots in all my stuff a while ago. Magic knit hasn't come undone yet for me but it looks terrible in knitting. Decided to knot (hehehe) risk it unraveling on me and to just suck it up and weave in the joins.
You're great!! 50 years of crocheting, and I've never seen this! I absolutely love how younger people like you have modernized the craft! So fresh and fun! Thank you ❤
Does this work for c2c crochet
OK, this is really awesome. I’m perfectly OK with with tiny knot - that’s so much better than weaving in dozens of ends!
My thoughts exactly!
OMG!!! where have you been all my life, the magic invisible knot?! 🥰🤩💝💖
This end-of-the-row hack is great! I’ve used the knot in the middle of the row but not at the end. Thanks for this tip. (I’ve been crocheting for almost 60 years. There’s always something new to learn!)
Yes! That’s one of the reasons I love it so much!

I've used this knot for quite some time and have never had it slip. Happy crocheting.
@kayhansen6959 Thank you!

My wife says ::MINDO BOMB:: and thanks for the tip!! Love the humorous approach to crafting.
I hope both sides of your pillow are cold, I hope you hit all green lights while traveling, and I hope you know you are a blessing for this. It may be an old trick but your video came at the perfect time
I love this hack! I'm making a shawl of many colors from my blanket leftovers for a church friend who is always cold.
This sounds perfect for that!
#lifesaver I'm working on a blanket with multiple color changes right now and just tried this magic knot method for changing colors (I've always use the magic knot to add same-color yarn, but never used it for changing colors).

I just started using the knot to add another skein and loved it so much, this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!❤
Thank you, like others I have used this to connect in the middle but not the end. Hack accepted!!! You are a life saver!
Hey girl, omg this is a great tip for projects like temperature blankets. I've used that knot to continue projects when I run out but never thought about using that trick other ways. Thanks for sharing
That first hack has been a life saver for me!! Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks!
Wow!!! Thank you! You may have changed my life. 🎉
You're so welcome! 😄

Good morning. I use this all the time now. I found this out a few months ago and I will not go back weaving in ends. Love your channel. Hugs Donna 💚
Hi Donna! Good to hear you've had success with it too!
Great video! I’m working on my first bigger project with lots of colour changes and it’s been a nightmare to weave all the threads. This has helped so much and got me excited to continue again!

I'm a beginner on my first color block blanket. This knot is amazing!
I use this when a ball of yarn ends but Not when changing colours but I will be now I didn’t even think about using it when changing colours that’s brilliant thankyou for showing us this.
Sure thing! It took a little practice getting the knot situated just right for it to be hidden in the stitch, but I'll never turn back!
I don't mind the almost invisible knot, it is worth it! Thank you for giving excellent directions! I am learning these tips and tricks that are saving us! Thank you!

Thanks for saving my temperature blanket! I was ready to give up. This is an amazing tip!
THANK YOU !!! YOU HAVE SOLVED ALL MY CROCHET PROBLEMS ❤️TYSM😭❤️
I LOVE YOU FOR SHOWING THIS HACK. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH.
I have been crocheting for over 45 years. I never saw this before, it's awesome. Thank you so much
I learned this knot from tying onto my fishing line! Always have used it in crochet too!
I've used this to add another skein but never at an end, very helpful thank you.🤛👍
This is great! Thank you! Starting my temp blanket next year. I’m ready!
I use the magic knot all the time. It helps if you keep your hook in the stitch when tying on the new color/skein
Good to know! I'll have to try that :)
😂Haha I'm actually working on a temperature blanket this year and wanted to start tying in all my loose ends so I don't have to do it all at the end of the year. I saw this video and was like, this might be the answer to my problem Lolll

Oh why didn’t I see this idea BEFORE I started my Temperature Blanket last January 1!!!!!!
But I will start this the rest of the way! Thank you 😊
I have not done this yet but I am sure it will save me A LOT of frustration. I am the type of person that when I find imperfections within my projects I hate the whole thing and want to start over but I think this might be perfect!
Glad I watches your video . I tie a knot like you showed in the middle of a row , but I never saw that you trim the yarn . So I would do the knot and leave a tail , but I guess I have double security from coming loose . Ha Ha Have a great day .
This teally helped. Did skinny Hogwarts scarfs and this hack worked wonders. Thank you so much.
Fantastic! Do you think it works with velvet yarn aswell?
Just magical. Thanks soooo much! ❤
Thanks so much for this amazing tip which I've already put to good use in a couple of projects. Thank you
Thank you for this absolutely fabulous hack.
I love the magic knot.
This is the best tip ever
That is an awesome idea Tiffany
I use this technique all the time.
When I add new skeins I use a double square knot
Me, too - or a 'surgeon's knot. No angst whenever I crochet.
I am going to try that thank you for sharing
To answer, "then what?": if an end happens to reveal itself, don't trim! Weave it back in. I also tell that to anyone I gift or sell a make to. I leave the tails a little long on purpose, and weave them very well, but even so, it can happen. This method would prevent that, so it appears to be a good method. Thanks for the video.
I did it ; I did it!,, finally😂😊
Do these knots ever come undone?
❤ thank you! amazing videos you have
I didn't think about doing it on the ends, I've always done it to attach another skien but not to color change. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
BRILLIANT!
Great tips Brittany! Thanks for sharing!🤗
So glad I watched this! great tip
I’m doing a rectangle blanket but had to buy 2 different colors and I will do this to hide the knot !!
Thank you !!! 🙏🏼 ❤
Thank you so much 💗 💓 💛
WOW! WOW! WOW! Thank you! ✨💖✨
Do you have a video to use this knot in knitting please?
I do this all the time.
Thank you, Dear One! 😘❤️🌹
Can you use it on super bulky yarn? I'm starting a blanket soon and will use 2 colors.
This is a great video to have and I’ve shared it 😊
Ohhhh I didn't know how to lone ot up at the end of the row! I've used it for a colour change in the middle
Wow!!!!❤ I love it..thank you ❤️
It’s such a great hack but surprisingly it came undone when I had to pull really hard- even after I had tugged really hard on it to secure it before snipping the ends!

I love the Magic Knot. I hate sewing my ends in. The more you do it, the better you get.
I like weaving in. 😃
This is a clever connection. I've used it for making pendants with leather cord.... so, why didn't it dawn on me to use it on a million color changes over the years ? LOL
Thanks !!
be well 🦋
THANK YOU for this! Why I haven't done this before, I have no idea? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Big help thank you!
Please help, I'm already one month in with my temperature blanket, is it possible to make this knot on ends that are already poking out?
great video
I don’t mind having a knot in my project, but I’m afraid it will come loose. Is this really truly secure?
That's so cool 😎
Can I do this for granny squares too?
I use the magic knot a lot, but you have to be careful, if you're using a slippery type of yarn, like a dk I've just finished 3 blankets with, magic knots can come undone (ask me how I know lol)
Thank you!!
amazing!!! thnaks
Thank you so much for this and confirming weaving in ends is pointless. I also love your sense of humor.
Thank you 🙏🏽
I love this (new guy) !
Can you do that with knitting
I swore off knots in all my stuff a while ago. Magic knit hasn't come undone yet for me but it looks terrible in knitting. Decided to knot (hehehe) risk it unraveling on me and to just suck it up and weave in the joins.
I prefer the magic knot.
Love this tip! Thank you 💕
You're so welcome!
