As a new crocheter, I found this very helpful; I'm still in the dishcloth stage so still learning a little here and there. I looked for your video showing how to weave in the ends when you have multiple colors, but couldn't find it. Did you find time to make a video showing this, and if so, could you please tell me the title of the video or give a link for it? Thanks so much!
I'm so sorry. I got distracted with other videos and neglected to do that one. I do have one on how to change colors here (join new yarn) - studio.ruclips.net/user/video-JDC5L7Jwhs/ and you can weave in different colors pretty much the same way I did in this video if there are BLOCKS of color, but if you're doing thin stripes or you just don't want to mess with the tails later, then it's better to weave them in as you go. Here is a good example from another channel - ruclips.net/video/3GZozjoAQS8/видео.html I will have to get to doing one myself after the new year!
I feel like this common technique would still unravel. I'm sorta new to knitting on 5th project. I knotted 1 end on a pillow just to be sure but that would look unsightly on a blanket
Good question. It's been so long, I don't really remember. I think it was a wool yarn that I had ordered online, and I used to order from KnitPicks, if that helps at all. I don't have any left, so unfortunately, I can't be of much help.
That's not much to work with and will make it difficult to thread through the needle and weave in. Instead, try weaving the needle into your work FIRST, leaving the eye of the needle poking out where your tail is, THEN thread the yarn into the eye of the needle (but don't pull the thread all the way through the eye - just barely thread it in). Now, pull the needle and thread all the way through. If this doesn't work, then just try and knot it somewhere securely that doesn't show too much. I never recommend knotting, but in this case it may be necessary to save the piece from unraveling later.

I tried make a crochet square but it ended up as a heart-
Thank you. I used this to finish of my first crochet project! And my cats first scarf, he loves it.
I always end up tying a knot cuz I'm afraid it'll come undone
Thank you SO much I used to just tie a knot at the end and it looked messy
Every time I do this, the end comes untucked and peeks out. 😞
Use a longer tail. I generally use about a 6-8" tail and weave in both directions, as the project allows.
thank you for this! i recently learned how to crochet a while ago and i’m loving it!
Thank you so much for making this video-very helpful! :)
Hahaha can you find it yes
could you please make a video for beginners to learn how to fasten off multiple colors ?
ty a lot
I feel like kind of an idiot for not figuring that out myself
Same. Someone had to show me, too. :)

In a blanket, I think I would just use a longer tail and weave it in one direction, going with the flow of stitches in the blanket.
Thanks for making this video it’s helped me a lot
Glad to hear it!
thankyou! so helpful:)
So simple and yet so important. Thank you!
Any time I tie off it comes undone. Is there a particular knot other than weaving ends to secure it?
It should secure fairly well when you fasten off using the method in the video, but you need to weave in the ends afterwards to fully secure it.
Same thing always happens to me too
What yarn are you using here? I like the looks of the blend.

It actually looks like a blend that I am currently using. Wool-Ease in Wheat by Lion Brand Yarn. www.lionbrand.com/wool-ease-yarn.html
what happens if you only have like two inched or so left of the tail?
That's not much to work with and will make it difficult to thread through the needle and weave in. Instead, try weaving the needle into your work FIRST, leaving the eye of the needle poking out where your tail is, THEN thread the yarn into the eye of the needle (but don't pull the thread all the way through the eye - just barely thread it in).

Ty i always forget how you do this
TY, VERY HELPFUL!!! 😊🌴💖🦎🌺
You are so welcome!
Thank you! This was very helpful!
What if you don’t have a weaving needle
Technically, you can use your crochet to pull it in and out of stitches. It's just more time consuming.
