- Too good to not share! I absolutely hate to weave in ends so I color change using the magic knot. Such a time saver and no pesky yarn ends will come peeking out after a few washes. Check out my Amazon affiliates links for some crochet must haves!

I have seen many many videos show how to do the magic knot. Almost none show how to actually use it to use it to change colors at the end/start of another color stripe. Thank you so much!!! Excellent explanation and demonstration! ❤ New sub!
Thank you! So glad it was helpful. And thank you for subbing!
Perfect explanation! New sub here, too.
@@sharonopstbaum1023 thank you! 🤗
Very confusing
The last bit was enlightening ❤
What's so great for me regarding your demonstration is that there is now a video that I can keep in my arsenal for the times I forget how to adjust the knot! I truly appreciate this. Thanks so much!
Thats great! So glad you found this helpful. Thank you for watching! 🙂
Moving the magic knot to a better position is just brilliant!!
I’ve been doing the magic knot and just fudging where the knot is made and, yes, trying to pull the knot through the stitch.
And the secret is not to pull both yarns, but just the working yarn.
Thank you!!
So glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching 🤗
Yesssss, Exactly why I've not used it much. But THIS 😮❤ WOW!! I'm gonna practice this TODAY 😊
THANK YOU for Sharing this technique!!
@@regeenapz thank you! So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Thank you for this wonderful tip! I have found when using knots that are trimmed close, using a drop or two of Fray Check on it will help take any worries of it eventually coming undone, It dries a bit stiff, but will soften and become unnoticeable after a couple of washings. It is made by Dritz and is found in the sewing notions area. It is just an idea to give that extra feeling of security for yourself.
Great idea! Thank you 🤗
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love the fact you don't have to weave in the yarn ends!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching 🤗
Brilliant! And yours is the best explanation of the magic knot that I have seen. It always looked so complicated before. Thanks for the great video! 🧶
@@planahealthylife thank you! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching 🤗
I’ve seen this before on another channel but never tried using it because the tutorial didn’t quite explain it good enough. But your tutorial is great. Thank you so much!!! I hate weaving ends but now, thanks to you, I am definitely trying this method.
Great video!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching! Glad it was helpful for you. 🤗
This is the method I use. It’s easy to hide the knot…and it’s much more secure. Growing up with my moms, afghans, coming apart in areas…I have always worried about that happening to mine. So I learned this knot technique, when I first taught myself to crochet. You did a great job, teaching others to do it 🩷
Thank you for the kind words! And thank you for watching
August 26, 2024: Thank you for the best overview of tying the knots. I have come back to crocheting this past month and finally got my ends straight but changing colors at the end is a struggle till viewing your insturctions. I had long tails to weave in for fear of it not staying in place. Your work is so clean. I know practice I will get there with your expertise. This is now a part of my go to. Thank you for sharing your talents in both instructions and how you have your camera.
@@orapronobis2149 thank you! So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤗
I knew how to make a magic knot, but never heard of or thought of using this instead of weaving in ends. I just started a project similar to a temperature blanket with colour changes for every row and this came across my feed. What perfect timing! Now I'll only have the ends to weave in for the 7 rows I've completed so far the rest will be done like this! Thanks so much for this tutorial!
So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching 🤗
❤❤❤ Knew how to do the magic knot, but didn’t know how to get the knot to a specific spot before. Many many thanks 😊😊😊 !!!!!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. Thank you for watching!
I feel the same. Love the color changes in patterns, yet, hated having to weave in a strings. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Hope this helps save you some time!
I use this knot all the time. Very durable and tight. Hides super well. I use to when i start a new skein. This is very smart idea, will definitey be using it
That’s great! So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤗
I always used this method for joining yarns of same colours. Will try it for joining other colours. It will be a challenge. Thank you👋🇨🇭!
@@luxmifrei9759 good luck! I seldom do color change any other way! Thank you for watching 🤗
This is the best demostration and technique to change colors at the end of a row I have seen! I don't like to change colors because I dread hiding all those ends when done with a project. This is awesome! The algorythm showed the video in my feed and I stopped scrolling out of curiosity. So glad I did! I liked that you take your time, I mean, that even in your voice I know you are in no hurry to end the video. You just want to be clear and teach us how you do what you do. My anxiety really appreciates your soothing voice. 😂 You have a new subscriber! ❤
Aww thank you! That’s very kind. Appreciate you watching and subscribing! 🤗
Fantastic, a life saver. You have just changed the face of crochet !!! Thank you
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🤗
As someone who just finished a ripple baby blanket and has sooo many ends to weave in, I wish I had found you sooner 😂. THANK YOU for this wonderfully done explanation that even a novice (like me!) can follow ❤️
Aww ☺️ that’s what made me start doing this! I made a ripple queen size for my oldest daughter and just couldn’t handle all the ends! Thank you for the kind words and for watching! 🤗
Thanks so much for tutorial! Very helpful - I too hate weaving in ends of yarn! Thanks again!❤
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🤗
Old dog just learned a new trick. 😂 Thank you.
lol that’s awesome! Thank you For watching! 🤗
Ditto😊
I’m definitely going to practice this! I hate to change colors due to the weaving ❤
Just be patient! It is sooo worth it!
Thank you! You might want to consider better lighting so your work isn’t in shadow.
Appreciate the suggestion! Thanks for watching. 🤗
I love making striped scarves, tried several different techniques for the color change, this one is brilliant , thanks for the video!
@@MelodyCrowson thank you! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Really good tutorial. I love your teaching style. Thanks for showing us a few times- it really helps.
Thank you! So glad it was helpful for you.
OH! I know it’s one! It’s SO EASY and you can trim the knot ends ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE KNOT ITSELF and it will not come undone! It’s a fantastic join!!
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you for the video. You are right, I don't do striped projects because of the color changes. Now I am going to try this out. Thank you again!
Hope it works out for you! Thanks for watching! 🤗
I've been doing this for quite a while now, and i love it.
I didn't know that only one yarn moved though. i thought it was both 😮😁
Thanks for watching! 🤗
New sun here! I just used this method today! I can’t believe I’m seeing this because I’ve been thinking about this for a few days. And here we are! ❤
@@patriciaratchford2826 so glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching 🤗 and for the sub!
I've 💕 Luved this knot too. Great 👍 Demonstration! Always remember, your Left yarn ends up continuing to the Left; & your Right yarn continues to the Right!
Thanks for watching🤗
Great job of explaining and showing. I used to have to play with my magic joining until it was as close to where it was supposed to be!!! Thank you again, love it!!!
Aww thanks! So glad it helped. Thank you for watching!☺
This is by far the best video showing how to do this! I appreciate this so much
Thank you! 🤗 hope it helps!
I finally figured this knot. It's a fancy term for a Square Knot or a Reef Knot! Thank you ever so much!!!
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching 🤗
Fantastic tutorial. I never knew how to get it right at the end of the row. Thank you 🙏
Great! So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤗
It took me a couple of tries, but I finally got it! Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial… it is truly a game changer for me! I really hate it when I wash my afghans, and then have to re-weave all the loose ends back in! Bye-bye loose ends!
Great! So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching 🤗
This will be great to use on granny squares!
Absolutely!!
This is very similar to a fisherman's knot that I used for a flagpole line. Very cool.
This is awesome, thank you!
Thank you! And thanks for watching! 🤗
I wish I knew this when I was making blankets with different colors,,, how nice, thank you so much
@@nadinepierce3016 hope it helps! Thanks for watching! 🤗
Great demonstration--easy to understand. Thank you!😊
Thank you! And thanks for watching! 🤗
I am so happy I found your video!! I know how to do the magic knot, but I could never get the spacing right and it never looked tidy. This was so helpful. 👏👏👏
@@sarahporter9979 thank you! So glad you found it helpful. Thank you for watching! 🤗
Hi, you've been so clear to explain and speach . I'm Italian and thanks for this tutorial. Lidia
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. 🤗
Thank you SO much for sharing this tutorial! It has helped me tremendously!
❤😊❤
That’s great! So glad you found it helpful. Thank you for watching! 🤗
This is great. You are so easy to understand. I've seen others explain this but this is much better. Thanks!
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🤗
Thank you for this. I’m self taught so I get resistant to learning new things but this is just too helpful to ignore. I’ve even taught myself to join wool by unraveling the ends and respinning it together a fee inches. This is less headachy.
So glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 🤗
You have clarified a lot for me. Thanks bunches!
@@judyhock5422 thanks for watching! 🤗
If I find Im slightly out with where the knot ends up I adjust my tension. Pull out 4 or 5 sts & then slightly change ur tension to move the knot to where you need it to finish up. Too far thru the last stitch then slightly loosen ur tension in the last few sts, if the knot ends up thru the last stitch a tad too early then slightly tighten ur tension. Its a very tiny adjustment in the last 4-5ish sts that can change where ur knot ends 🙂
Absolutely! Thanks for watching! 🤗
I think this is the knot demonstrated for connecting braided fencing "rope" on Greg Judy Regen Ranching. It allows the metal strands in the braid to touch. I use it in fence lines, knitting, and crochet, too... versatile!
Great tutorial. I am sure you will have many grateful crocheters.
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🤗
Wow that is a great tip thank u so much for sharing. I’ll definitely try this technique in my next project w/ a color change.
Thank you! So glad you found it helpful. 🤗
Thank you, you explained it so well, so easy to understand.❤🌹🌹.
Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial! Simplified & clear! Thank you!
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you for showing how to do this.
Thank you for watching 🤗
This would be fantastic, especially making a temperature blanket when colors change on each row. Thank you, I will try. 👏
Awesome! Thanks for watching 🤗
That was geat no ends thank you so much
@@KayDavis-q4c thanks for watching! 🤗
I love joining this way when I need to join the same color or using yarn in random stripes but never could join the way you demonstrated. This is a game changer. Off to practice, lol. I’ll be 84 in December so you are never too old to learn! Thanks so much!
🤩 thank you! Good luck!
Fabulous video, thank you ever so much!!
@@darlenepatrick9688 thank you! And thanks for watching! 🤗
You are a LIFESAVER 👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻! I was literally just thinking about how to fix this problem (I’m a newbie to crocheting) and your video came up as a suggestion, talk about perfect timing 😃. Plus it was posted recently, so lucky 🍀 me. Thank you so much for sharing! Already rocking this on a new scarf 🧣 I’m making.
Thank you! So glad you found it helpful! And welcome to the crochet world! Thank you for watching. 🤗
Brilliant! I have seen this done other ways but they “guessing” where the change will be. You make is exact. I am a new fan💕
Thank you 🤗 and thanks for watching! Be sure to sub and watch for my other videos!
I love this metode, since I hate to weave in ends, I allways uses this knot
So much better, faster too.
Thanks for watching! 🤗
So helpful. Thank you.
Glad you liked it! Thank you 😊
Neat!!! I'm gonna practice until I get it down pat. Thanks so much for your demo - very helpful!!
Thank you! 🤗 and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much ! God bless ❤
Thank you for watching!😀
Very informative! First time I’ve understood it!
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🤗
Thanks so much for your tutorial 🤗 There have been so many times that I wish I had known this method of knotting.
Thank you! And ☺thanks for watching!
Caron Simply Soft is my go-to yarn as well. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for watching!
This is how I join ends also and I love it. Another benefit to this method is that if you need to frog your work, you don’t have all those woven ends to fight. Tfs
@@anwe9508 great point! Thank you for watching! 🤗
Great idea
@@onasutton2892 thanks for watching! 🤗
Agree shadows in the way❤
Thank you. Maybe I’ll try to re-record 🤗
Wow, Thank you, I'am new can't wait to see more of your work.
Thank you for watching!
Wow this is the best way. Im currently working on a temperature blanket and the ends have been a nightmare. This is so helpful. Thanks so much! 😊.
Wonderful! So glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤗
I’m doing a temperature blanket too. Must try this!
@@Carolyn-qd8mj hope you find it helpful!! Thanks for watching. 🤗
@@Carolyn-qd8mj so I struggled with this because the knot kept popping out and in an attempt to hide it it unraveled so I kinda ended up with a problem I was able to fix it somewhat just looks a tad bulky in that area. I had to add more yarn over it so ensure it wouldn't come undone. So just be careful! And just don't mess with it like I did 😅.
Genius...!!! I learned something extremely useful today thanks to you...!!! Bless you...! Thank you for sharing your tip to make our handworks better and more beautiful...!!!
🤗 thank you for watching and for your kind words!
Such a useful video. I’m a new subscriber. Thanks for the information. 😊
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🤗
Thank you I will definitely try it. A suggestion I’d like to make is to perhaps swap the dark purple yarn for a lighter colour. It would be easier to see the stitches then
Thank you! Big lesson learned 🤗 I thought the dark light contrast would work to show the knots. Thanks for the suggestion! And thanks for watching!
That is awesome!! Yay! You have save us all hours of time!
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you SO much! I knew the knot tying technique, but not at ends! I subscribed!🤍🙂
Thank you for watching and subscribing! Glad it was helpful 🤗
Fantastic tutorial.Thanks with love fromGoa.❤❤❤
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🤗
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been using this knot but didn't know this trick. Excellent!!!
Thank you! So glad I could help. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Cool! But try and use lighter colors please.those dark colors are hard to see.😊.
Yeah I’ve had a few suggest this. I thought the contrast colors would help. Thanks! 🤗
Great video! I made it twice. You give great instructions.
Thank you 🤗 hope it helps save you some time! Thanks for watching!
Just subscribed . I want to see more of your works and hacks. Thank you on how to use this knot in the beginning og color changes. No weaving!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
I use this knot to add a new skein. This is great! I will learn to use it in color change as well, thank you! I wonder if you would do it the same way for knitting. BTW, Caron Simply Soft is my favorite as well! I only use other yarns for craft crochet. I try to buy a lot of Caron simply soft when I find it on sale lol
Me too!! I like to keep a good stash of it. I’m not a knitter but I would think this method of pinpointing the color change would work too! Thanks for watching 🤗
Super !!! Je ne connaissais pas cette technique , Merci 💗 !!!
Merci! 🤗
This is genius! Thank you 😅
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🤗
Thank you! Great turtorial.
Thank you!
Thank You So Much!
Thanks for watching! 🤗
Good tutorial 🎉
Thank you! Thanks for watching! 🤗
Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching!
Tha k you very good
Thank you!😀
I have always heard about this join but could never figure it out for colour changing as I could never work out how to get it placed where I wanted the knot to be. So I only used it when I needed to change same coloured yarns when making a large project such as a blanket. Your explanation and video showing how to work out where to place it was freakin’ brilliant! I have been crocheting for near enough 50 years and I hate sewing in all the ends with a pretty colour changing blanket so I tend to make envelope borders to hide them away, so this is going to be a game changer for me!
Thank you so much for this! I have subscribed on this video alone…I cannot wait to watch the other videos. Also, I would like to thank you for allowing the closed caption. I am disabled with a spinal injury and bedbound. I don’t get to sleep much these days and so get on my tablet while hubby is sleeping next to me with the sound off. The channels with subtitles allowed are the ones I watch while the family is sleeping. It sounds silly, but I get excited when I find a new channel I can add to be nighttime list as there do not seem to be a lot of them around. So I appreciate you allowing it.
Sending love and appreciation from the Highlands of Scotland. ❤
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words! So glad it will be helpful for you! Nice to know the CC’s work. Thank you for watching and subscribing! Sending cheers and well wishes from US South East area! 🤗

New to your channel. Saw your link on Ophelia Talks. This is a great video. Definitely going to share this video to my Yarnie friends 🥰❤️🧶
Thank you!! Appreciate the share and sub! 🤗
Fantastic
@@PAMSTEPHENSON thanks for watching!
Thank you! Best explanation yet!
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🤗
I have been crocheting since I was 7 years old.
And I have been crocheting over the loose yarns so I never have any ends ever because I crochet over all the extra yarns.
Yes I used to do this but they can tend to work themselves loose over time.
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this technique.
Thank you! And thanks for watching! 🤗
Aaa there's even a better way. I did something similar to this 4 days ago it is just that i have to readjust few times before i get the right "stop" for the knot.
Wow! I have been using this knot for years and have always had trouble joining in a specific spot. You are my hero! ❤️🧶
So glad it was helpful!
Awesome 🤩
Thanks and thank you for watching! 🤗
excellent. thank you ❤
Thanks for watching 😁
Ditto!
@@admlanthony4625 thanks! And thanks for watching! 🤗
Agree with. You on weaving end in…… I switched to tie knots a few yrs ago
Makes such a difference!
Thank you❤
13:46 Oh my gosh!!! This is the trick, you let the loop off and that's how you know where the knot needs to be!!!
I'm glad you showed this three times, as the first explanation was not very clear.
Thank you.
Wait. But why do you pull it up at 14:00? 🤔
14:23 "inchmark"????
I'm confused 🧐
I do hope this method actually works 'long term' (normal use and washing). I love Caron Simply Soft due to the vast array of beautiful colors. However, I quit using it after I had to repair large projects over and over again due to 'unraveling' of the joins and using Magic Loop starts that would just "let go". SS is slicker than snot on a hot day, and I have found it just will not stay joined due to the long fibers having no "tooth". I will do a test piece and run it through the gauntlet before I ever do a project again with that yarn. It is disheartening when so much time, love and design go into a project for those you love and they return the item and it looks like it barely survived a war due to normal wear/use. I will try this, and hope. TY.
Oh goodness! I’ve never had an issue with the knot or the Caron yarn. Guess I’ve just been lucky. I’ve had a few suggest a spot of fabric glue on the knot so maybe that would be a good option for you. Good luck! And thanks for watching. 🤗
