    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!

    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!!

    Wow! All these years of doing the magic knot / invisible join and never once have I even thought that it could be used to change colours at the end of a block. I also didn't know that only one knot moves so wouldn't have tried it as I thought it would move to where I didn't want the join. This tutorial is BRILLIANT - thanks heaps!

    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 🙂

    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.

    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 🩷

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!

    I have been crocheting since the age of 11/12 yo. I have "accidentally" done this type of joining for years & never knew any different. I also have done this type of joining "mid-project', when making a motif or such, but I leave the tail of the "main yarn" & crochet into the project "hiding the end".

      @@nanalisa8 hi! It’s the same way. Just mark (mentally or with removable marker or pencil) your spot and have the working yarn knot end up at that mark. The new color knot is the top knot, new color bottom knot. Pull together. Fabric glue if you choose. If you’re just adding the same color then no worries on where the knots end up. Just do the magic knot towards the end of your one strand and good to go! 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 😅.

    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.

    I have a thread and a cord burner, for use in finishing braided and beaded jewellery. It melts /fuses the thread ends together . I Must give it a go with this technique, after trimming close to knot, so it cannot unravel. Maybe useful in one ply lace yarns when knitting too.
