🤯Hate sewing in ends? This crochet tip is a game-changer! 🤯

[@ChristinaFromFlint]

When I see " sewing in ends" and "game changer" in the same sentence, I'm clicking faster than you can imagine!! Sewing in ends is SUCH a chore to me!!! Thanks for the awesome tip!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Absolutely!!! Thanks for watching!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Did you see my new tutorial? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX_coXZve5lna68

[@kerrynwright]

Wow.... that was a derr moment for me watching that! I often crochet over my ends but have never flip flopped the yarn like you just did! Brilliant! I go through bursts of not minding sewing in ends & other times of hating it & procrastinating! I'm in that phase now, so I've designated "Finish It Fridays" for sewing in ends & sewing on buttons on baby cardigans which I detest more than sewing in ends!!! Once I get started, I wonder why I make such a fuss of it as it's done in no time at all! Anyhow, love that tip, Clare!! I just have to remember to do it! 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

[@coraldeandean1119]

Love it. Much neater than just crocheting over the tail and much more secure! xx

Thanks. I'd always crocheted over the tail on top of my previous row. I like this much better.

[@anitastevens-davis8826]

I don't like sewing in all those ends even though I really enjoy doing multi color works. Going to try your idea soon. Thanks much.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Something else about carrying a different color is that it makes the work thicker, which is nice for winter season hats, etc. And the carried yarns don't show as much as you might think...

[@CrochetwithClare]

Absolutely!

[@patricia92949]

Wow I've never seen such an easy way to trap in the yarn. Thank you.

Oh Yes, this is great. Made a granny square afghan with 12 color changes and 24 ends per square. Had 20 blocks. I was so tired weaving in the ends. Thank you for the tip. 🤗

I seem to remember years ago you did a video where you crochet over the tail. This is soooo much nicer and probably more secure 🤩

[@judigums9172]

This is amazing. I'm in the middle of 50 scrap lapghans. I've had a lot off tails. These are going to the local dialysis center. I came within days of needing their services before receiving a kudney transplant. It's my way of giving back and letting God know i appreciate it. Thanks again.

[@CrochetwithClare]

That is a beautiful gift 🥰

[@donnasstitch-in-timecroche8903]

Thank you. Game changer. I took it a step further. As I burying it through the stitch the way you show, I am also weaving it under the stitch. Crochet over it first, the finish the way you show. Now it is going three different directions… back, forward, and under.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Oooo I like that Donna

You are so welcome!

[@mubeenaatcha8391]

Wow! Just WOW! Who would’ve thought that flipping the tail end front and back of the work in progress would eliminate the need for sewing in the ends!!! Thanks for the tutorial. It’s truly a game changer. I’m now going to wait for instructions on how to make the kind of blanket you’re working on!! Looks like a great project 👍🏼👍🏼

[@KatytheNightOwl]

Funnily enough, I discovered this way of hiding my ends by accident, Clare, as I loathe sewing in ends! It's a great way of hiding them 🤣 I also do the same for the ends at the opposite side, too, just grabbing up the ending, as I begin a new line, catching up the old ending in whatever my first stitch of the new line is. Of course, it's much easier when doing rounds, but works so well with flat pieces, as you showed us! 😀 Anyhoo, I rarely have to sew in ends any more 🤣 BTW, Clare, I can't wait for this tutorial, as your piece looks glorious - & I have a load of leftover balls of yarn to use up! ❤️

[@CrochetwithClare]

Twinsies! Oooo I will have to try on the end as well.

I would love to make a rug with this stitch and all if my scrap yarn!!! I just heard the beginning of the video.....please do a tutorial on this stitch!!!!!

[@Shaktipaj]

I love your tips!! They are all so organic to the work. As a knitter of literally decades, a very similar method is how I always worked in ends. So it was natural for me to do it when I picked up crochet from YT during the pandemic. I never thought anything of it, since it was automatic for me. I'm glad it works so well for you!! I've always believed some techniques between the two crafts were interchangeable. Which one you work is simply a matter of preference at the time. It doesn't seem to me that there was always such a separate 'tribe' feeling about different methods - it was all just fiber handwork. BTW, there are ways to hide contrast colors and work it on the other end, both are a bit more involved, though. To hide the contrast, flip the tail up and over right after the first yo, but don't bring it front. Then flip it after the first loop is pulled up, but again, don't bring it forward. The worked in end will resemble a very short Fair Isle knitting carry. Little specks of contrast will be visible, but your eye will ignore them. For the end of the row, start a few stitches from the end. Keep the yarn attached, pull out a very long amount of yarn, then work over the end still attached to the ball with the end attached to your work. Once you get to the end of the work, pull the worked over end snug, and cut it. Like I said, a bit more involved. But it works. Sorry if sharing this seems impertinent, it certainly was not my intent. Just something to try. 😊

[@CrochetwithClare]

I love the tip for the end if the row!!! I need to try that. Thanks for watching my video 🥰

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

Thanks for sharing! I do use this method! I also 'sew in' my ends at the END of my row! *At the end of the row, fold your last tail back and lay it on top of your working row. Crochet over the end and after your last stitch, give your work a slight tug to straighten your edge if needed. Cut- Stitch- Repeat! * LIFESAVER/TIME SAVER! I use this method especially when I am working with mosaic Crochet. I hope you try the ending of the row method! God bless and happy stitching ❤

[@CrochetwithClare]

Ooooo that's a fantastic idea!!!!! I will try that on my blanket

[@johntally4579]

When I learned mosaic crochet, the pattern I did used the tails on each side to make fringe.

[@ymottspice]

I had started choosing projects based on how few ends I would have to sew in at the end, which is annoying because I love colouful and scrap projects. I find sewing in ends to be a boring chore! Thanks for the tip!

[@Kokum11]

I started doing this a few years ago when I made my first Sophie’s Universe. I use a needle to just go through a few stitches toward the start just to make sure that little tail doesn’t unravel. It really just takes a min and gives me extra peace of mind. You can do it for those tails on the other end also. When you are several stitches from the end lay the tail on the top of the existing stitches, then weave it as you go just like you did with these tails. No need to use a needle on these ones since the yarn goes both ways. I hope that makes sense.

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you for the great tips!

[@GrannyL]

That's brilliant 👏

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@speppers1983]

[@MignonB1]

I dislike sewing seams or ends in that I have even re-worked a whole sweater pattern on 4 and 6 needles so I didn't have to sew seams or ends in!! lol!! So I started doing this trick years ago!! It certainly has been a game-changer!! M

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@HortonzEgg]

Brilliant!! No need for a knot? It really won't come out in the wash? And btw Clare, you were certified with all of us even without that piece of paper but congratulations!! :-)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes! Thank you!, you can knot it if you feel better with the know :)

[@dianne1214]

Going to have to give it a try. Do they seem really secure, like they won’t start poking out. I was always told to go back and forth to keep the ends in.

[@CrochetwithClare]

It doesn't seem too. I think because it trapped in the stitch at so many places. Yes I was taught that too

[@cbarkins]

Would this work with the granny square and changing the colors?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes 😁

[@KahudMom]

You can do the end the same way. When you get close to the end, just lay it up across the top/back of the row, and simply crochet over it :)
