How to Weave In Ends as You Knit (Any Knitting Style)

[@monicaanderson981]

I love you videos! You are clear, concise and have a lovely voice. Thank you for getting to the tutorial without a bunch of music,and stories.

[@monicaanderson981]

Your videos..

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much, Monica :-)

[@millennialgarbage]

I’ve been knitting for 15 years, and this blew my mind. Can’t wait to try this on my next project!

[@tds603]

Thank you! This is very helpful. I usually don't mind weaving in the ends but I am in the middle of a fair isle project and the ends are endless. This will help immensely! You went slowly enough for me to see what you were actually doing. Great video!

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Teresa. I am happy I could help :-)

[@marilynbrown8947]

My Mom was self taught knitter from Europe and I never knew there were two ways of knitting. I really like this lady’s uncomplicated instructions which I have not seen before.Thank you

[@joanwelch4583]

Thank you! You made this so much clearer than I've seen in other videos.

[@10rowsaday]

I am happy I could help :-)

[@gardenlove2782]

You give the best tips and it’s a pleasure to listen to you! And that’s it!

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much, my friend :-)

[@roztollman7851]

I am knitting a large blanket - four 15cm corner pieces, joined together to make a large square. Using 3 different colours means many pieces of thread needing to be tidied up before sewing 40 corner pieces together to make 10 large squares. I wish I had seen this video when I first started knitting!!! My job would have been no effort at all had it been done your way! THANK YOU SO MUCH - will use this method to make the other squares to finish off this blanket.

[@marilynbrown8947]

I like how this lady makes it easy to understand . I haven’t seen this method before but I think my Mom who was a wonderful knitter and never got the chance to show me this ,worked her colours this way. Because her sweaters always looked neat on the inside. A really good explanation and method to secure the other colour of yarn

[@bjornorchard3693]

This is the best method I've seen for weaving in ends as you go, and I've been watching a lot of videos about this. I am starting a striped blanket and I think this method will save me so, so much time. Thank you so much for sharing this method!!

[@lorrainemarcketta489]

Thank you for this demonstration! Your manner is so calm and your way of teaching is very easy to follow. I taught myself to knit by following a few videos on KZbin and sort of found myself using what I felt was an easier way for my arthritic hands. Then, one day I happened upon a video showing Russian knitting, and I never realized that what I was doing was Eastern (Russian) knitting. For me it's so much easier than the English/American way. Thanks again for so generously sharing your experience!

[@madhubalababycaretips6244]

Absolutely love you, your channel..you dont know how much help and encouragement it gives to a naive like me to knit for my 2yr daughter:) thanks

[@10rowsaday]

Oooh, thank yo so much :-) It warms my heart to know that my tutorials help you in your everyday knitting. Thank you!

[@Jesterjones9073]

Thisnis fantastic, I found your method hid the colours and tails the most effectively. Thank you so much!

[@10rowsaday]

So happy to hear that, Anne :-) Thank you!

[@pamelawheary2155]

What a wonderful tip!! I usually knit the two tails together, but then the piece has extra bulk. I’m excited to incorporate this method into my knitting!!

[@sylviakemp]

Thank you so much how nice to see a fresh method.

[@npeace312]

I just finished a scarf made from scrap yarn and this was so helpful with so many ends to weave in. Thank you for the very helpful tip!

[@VHaeberle]

How interesting! I just finished weaving in LOTS of thread ends on a bonnet (two times, because the first time I did it on the wrong side!) and I was looking for an easier way before I start my next project. Your explanations are very clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much!

[@lw9248]

Wow!!!😊 I love this technique. I will keep this technique highlighted in my knitting reference notebook. It’s simple and easy to do. Yay no more ends to weave all at once😊

[@Brdstfff]

THANK YOU! This is the most efficient, easiest way to weave in ends. I was weaving the ends in after finishing the project, but in a project with lots of stripes, it takes forever and it's bulky. I was avoiding striped patterns because of all the ends but this solves my problem.

[@dorothytaylor7127]

Oh wow! I wish I had seen this three days ago! Seemed I had a gazillion ends to weave in on a shawl/wrap. Nevertheless, I now have this video saved, and will never have to worry about weaving in those pesky ends again! Thank you so much. 💕💕💕

[@10rowsaday]

Oh, Dorothy, sorry the timing was not perfect. No more "gazillion ends to weave in" from now on :-)

[@ivonnaansone6752]

This is amazing. I'm currently starting a project with a few colours and i was already dreading the weaving in. This is so simple and perfect, thank you ^^ you made my week

[@TheRightRead]

So glad that I found you! Love your video! If you ever figure out a way to weave in the tails with a reversible pattern, you will be beyond the knitting genius that you currently are!! Thanks for your fantastic videos, and keep making these great videos! And let us know if you find a trick for weaving in as you go for a reversible pattern-- if that is every possible!

[@10rowsaday]

My dear Cindy, Thank you so much for the kind words! To make sure the tails don't show on either side of the work, join the yarn with the "secure knot" (www.10rowsaday.com/secure-knot). This knot is so reliable that we can confidently trim the tails right after we join the yarn. No tails, nothing to weave in :-) Happy knitting!

[@kountryedge]

You're one awesome lady! Thank you!!! On another note, your work is very clean and neat, great job! I crochet and knit, and I'm so disgusted at all the ends from the many multiple colour changes in the granny squares, that I'm deterred from finishing them to complete the afghan as I'm just anxious to start another knitting project! Tale sew in party at my place! I'll supply the wine! ;) Stay well and be blessed!

[@10rowsaday]

Oooh, Staci, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm happy you enjoy my tutorials :-) As to the tails in granny squares, it's super easy to deal with them - simply place the tail on top of the work as you make the next few stitches. This way the tail gets hidden inside the work. Wine helps too :-)

[@kountryedge]

10rowsaday I fear that the tail in the granny square isnt being held good enough to keep from easily pulling/coming out. I started to do my own weaving tail while working the row, but it isnt attractive as you can see the difference in the backside. 😞

[@10rowsaday]

I find that it's better to hide tails inside the row. This way the tail won't show on the wrong side. If the yarn is slippery and the tails get out of the hiding spot, insert the wool needle inside each strand (splitting the yarn) when you weave in each tail. It also helps to go through a few stitches in one direction and then through a couple of stitches in the opposite direction. I hope this explanation makes sense to you :-) If it's not clear, let me know, and I'll make a video tutorial about that.

[@Pluviophile218]

The easiest way to get rid of the ends in crochet is just to crochet over them (and the knot) for about 2 inches, then kind of pull the ends to the left and cut them, then smooth out the fabric. This hides them really well. I have been doing this for years and you never see the join.

[@BzerkBnny]

My solution was to think about it differently. AS long as my ends are not weaved in, I do not consider my project done XD but I will definitely give your tip a try!

[@10rowsaday]

That's a great approach! Love it :-)

[@joeynelson4176]

Damn, that is a really great method. Thank you so much. I am a beginner, but am already having difficulty weaving in my ends, so this helps a lot. Now if I can find out how to weave in the beginning and ending ends, I will be set.

[@10rowsaday]

Technically, you can use the same method to weave in the cast on tail in the first row of the work. Or, you can simply thread it into a wool needle afterwards and snake the wool needle through a few stitches on the wrong side of the work. Good luck :-)

[@constancemancuso1342]

[@icelander0361]

Fantastic and easy. Thank you.

[@Purple_Box]

There’s no need to twist when knitting continental. You can just hold both yarns in the left hand, the working yarn farthest from you, and pick that yarn first from above the yarn closest to you and then from below the yarn closest to you. Alternate this is for a few stitches and you are done.

[@10rowsaday]

That's a good idea. Thank you for sharing it with all of us!

[@Fraususemil]

You can sew the tiny tails down with some stitches done with sewing thread in a fitting colour. That is especially useful with slippery yarns. With wool it is not necessary, I always felt the ends down with my finger dipped in soapy water. Perfect!

[@10rowsaday]

Absolutely! It takes some time, so, just like you, I only do it when I knit with slippery yarns. Do you sew those tails the same way as I do (I explained my way at kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpy8eHdue9uYoqs), or do you do it differently? Thank you :-)

[@Fraususemil]

@@10rowsaday The link does not work. Do you mean the example where you pulled the short tails diagonally through the splitted stitches with a sharp needle? I do that as well from time to time, but what I meant is, I weave in the ends as shown here and at the end I secure the tiny ends additionally with sewing thread (from my sewing machine), or with a thin thread of the yarn when that yarn contains of multiple thinner threads. I do this from time to time when the perfectionist part of my personality takes the lead ☺ or, as mentioned before, when the yarn is really slippery as securing the ends prevents the in-woven tails from slipping out when the garment is being expanded while pulling it on or off.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much for sharing your way of taming those unruly ends :-) Sewing thread is a sure way the tails will stay put no matter what. Happy knitting!

[@10rowsaday]

Sorry, the link doesn't work. I have no idea why - the link seems to be correct. The video is called "How to Fix Unravelled Yarn Tails in a Finished Project". Search for this title on KZbin, if you are interested. Thank you :-)

Your instructions are very clear and precise for me to learn. Please answer me one concern. How would you use this tip when you are slipping your first stitch. Thank you so much for teaching me to knit the correct way.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Marilee. I'm happy you find this tutorial helpful :-) As to the slipped first stitch, the edge will look better if you don't slip it in the row when you change the colour. This way the first stitch will be in the same colour as the rest of the stitches in that row. Happy knitting :-)

I think I have mentioned before how amazing you are with all your tutorials and thku sooo much. This is so magic for joining in ends using different colours. We have been asked as a group of knitters to make mother Theresa vests booties and skull caps for premier babies !! So just to ring the changes I decided to try and incorporate the colours of our South African flag into the front of the vest. 6 different colours and this tutorial worked so well for me Thku again Ruth Clive-Smith from Durban South Africa . How could I send you a pic so you can see the finished set?

[@10rowsaday]

Ruth, what a great idea to decorate the vest with the colours of the South African flag! Such a cheerful splash of colour to make everyone around the babies smile. I would love to see a photo of this project. You can email it to me at maryna [at] 10rowsaday.com, or simply reply to one of the emails you receive from me on Fridays. Thank you :-)

[@trevorhughes506]

How do you use this for joining yarn for a contrast toe, I can see how it works. But what about using it for contrast heel where you do not want to cut of the original yarn.

[@10rowsaday]

To use this way of hiding the tails when you work in the round, weave in one of the tails in the first round worked in a new colour, and weave in the other tail in the second round worked in a new colour. Happy knitting :-)

[@paulanicholson5393]

A nice neat method provided the back of the work will not be seen and you do not want to use the ends in sewing up a seam when it is critical that the stripes match e.g front sides of a cardi with the back.

[@10rowsaday]

You are absolutely right, Paula - if you plan to use the tails for seaming it's better to let them hang at the edge of the work. Happy knitting :-)

[@himtbexplore2075]

Thanks U so much vidio like👍👍

[@chan58]

Great video, would this be too obvious for a garter stich blanket? Ty 😊

[@10rowsaday]

As long as the ends are hidden within stitches in the same colour as the yarn tail, this method works fine for reversible projects. If the blanket has a lot of yarn tails, make a quick swatch to see whether you like the look of the tails hidden by using this method. Good luck!

[@Dory_Darko]

This is great, but how would it work in the round, when you don't have an edge and need to attach a new ball? I pretty much exclusively knit in the round, so any advice would be super helpful. Thank you!!

[@10rowsaday]

Hi Dory. It is always better to attach yarn in a place that is not too visible. For example, when I knit a top down raglan sweater, I attach yarn very close to a raglan line or close to one of the sides. No matter where you attach the yarn, you can still weave in ends as you go. Simply weave in one end in one round, and the other end in the next round. Happy knitting :-)

[@Dory_Darko]

@@10rowsaday Thank you so much for your reply, I'm definitely going to try this!

[@GewoonelsJustels]

This is just what I wanted to know, if I knit a rib stitch do I twist the yarn the other way?

[@10rowsaday]

No Els, the twist is always the same. It stays between stitches, so the stitch pattern is irrelevant. Happy knitting :-)
