How to Crochet WITH Your Ends 😉 Time Saving Crochet Hack!

[@grannybekmakes]

I just recently found this video and it’s a game changer! I use this method now every time I crochet and I love it ❤️

[@leslieparks6380]

I’ve crocheted for 50 years and have never seen this! Genius! Definitely a game changer for me. 💜

[@cindyh112]

Great tutorial. I use a similar method but crochet the whole stitch with the tail. It does add bulk so I will try your half stitch method. Great tip, thanks again.

[@janicebatya8145]

Wow! I just knew there HAD to be a better way to deal with colour changes. I’ve begun avoiding projects with lots of colours. Thank you so much!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You are very welcome! I always avoid weaving in ends if I can!

[@vikiknox4447]

Me too!!! I cheat and use self striping and variegated yarns. 😁

[@jacalynpillion516]

Omg….sewing in these ends is torturous. This is wonderful!

[@marjonmooj8021]

Super! Only crocheting over the end as normal isn't secure enough for me, love it!

[@denisewalters6358]

OMG! Where has this been my whole crochet life?!?! Thank you so much!

[@karenlafave5892]

I am crocheting an Afghan with wide stripes. Discovered your video when I was half finished, with many color change ends to have to weave in. I had a hard time trying to do this method with the chain 1, skip 1, single crochet pattern. After many tries I finally found a way to do it. I chained 1 with my working strand and used your method for the single crochets. Voila! No more ends to weave in on the remaining half of my afghan. I have never seen such an ingenious method before. Thank you!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome Karen, I’m pleased it helps. Enjoy making your Afghan.🥰🤗 x

[@KristinWhitehead]

I've been crocheting for almost 30 years and have never seen this! Genius!

[@FurtasticFriends]

OMG!!! I'm definitely trying this! I really hated having to weave in my ends when I did a lot of color changes. Probably why I avoided doing multi-colored blankets but not anymore!!! This is a game changer!! Thank you!! And thank you for the scrunchie video, I've made several and plan on making more for Christmas!! ❤

[@cyanl1]

Me, too!

[@noracampos7426]

I do exactly the same thing 🤗🤗

[@annmariecurrivan480]

can this be used in a granny square

[@TheKasey5356]

This is absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE to crochet, but I HATE, HATE, HATE weaving in the ends. I'm not only going to try this method, but I will be spreading the word about this method and this video in particular to my crochet friends. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

[@LovinLife-pv7op]

I am very skeptical of almost all techniques on youtube since I've been crocheting for 50 years and have made every mistake possible, but I must say THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! This eliminates the "bulk" issue of leaving long ends. Thank you.

[@jackiesmith5255]

I’ve just seen your crocheting over ends technique. What a game changer! I just wish I’d seen it before the 10 blankets I’ve crocheted. Truly amazing 👏🏼👏🏼

[@VioletClematis]

I'm new at crocheting, and have been wondering about changing yarn as well as how to hide the yarn end in such a way that it won't come loose. This looks like a great method - thank you for this tutorial! 🙂😍

[@HookedbyRobin]

It works so well, I am glad you found this video Cathy! 😃 How are you finding crochet so far?

[@greer_z]

I despise weaving the ends in .....LOVE your simple solution. Brilliant!!

[@alexandra.french]

... that's... frakking... GENIUS!!! 😱 I knew about the method where you crochet the ENTIRE stitch with both your tail and working yarn, but that just makes a hugely obvious bulky spot IMO. But this... this is absolutely BRILLIANT! 🖤

[@Giulia121010]

So easy, so effective! Why nobody ever pointes this out! Your the best, thanks a lot.

[@leahberg2387]

I have been crocheting for well over 50 years and you have taught me so many wonderful techniques! Thank you thank you! You are amazing.

[@nancyhildebrand7181]

Robin, this is brilliant! Don't know why I never thought of this but it is going to change my life. Thank you ❤

[@kimwilliamson7163]

Oh My Gosh!! That is wonderful!! I will definitely be doing this from now on. Every time I see something like this, I always think, "why didn't I think of that". So simple, yet so effective. Thank you so much!

[@Tinkertotz13]

This is genius! I always hate how thick it is if you constantly use the tail, but using and dropping solves that! Thank you so much ❤

[@lindabridle3756]

This is just fabulous!!! I have so many unfinished blankets because I hate weaving in the ends!!! This is a game changer and I thank you 😘

[@honibear6478]

This is brilliant and one of those “why didn’t I think of that” times? I’m so glad 😀 someone did and shared it cause I really hate 😖weaving in ends..

[@rosesmile1362]

You are a genius 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Now with no foundation chains or weaving ends I am in a happier world 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Thank you so much for the life changing technique 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@aprilschmitz9060]

WHERE has this BEEN all my life?!?!! 😍😍😍😍 Robin, you love, are THE BOMB! Thank you SOO much for this!

[@vikiknox4447]

😮 OMG!!! I’ve been waiting and hoping for this tip! I don’t change colors or weaving in the ends. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 🎉

[@HookedbyRobin]

I am so happy it helps Viki, it definitely makes life easier! 😃🧶

[@DrasticEvasion]

Ohh thank you so much Robin! This has come just in the knick of time for me as I'm joining my squares on my neon patchwork blanket! This is going to save me soo much time... A technique i look forward to using from now on 👏

[@kerrypatricia8419]

Brilliant. I’ve never seen this technique before, but definitely going to use it!

[@OrifielM]

Oh gosh, this was such a game changer, especially since most of my projects have multiple colors. Thank you so much for sharing this technique!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re welcome, I am glad it helps.😃

[@angiesc9169]

That is genius and it solves a problem I was having! I was crocheting with my tail BUT I was using it for the entire stitch and using it for at least 6 stitches or so and it would be very thick stitches indeed! With your method I can still crochet it in and make it more secure without it looking like my yarn gained 50 pounds in a hurry!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I can’t wait to try it tonight on my mandala blanket I am working on!!

[@taligalassi3959]

I've always crocheted both tails completely through. I like your way of not crocheting both threads on the last loop, it lessens the bulk. I will do it your way from now on. Thanks!

[@sueneely7248]

I taught myself to crochet 50 years ago and never learned this method. I appreciate your technique and will use it from now on. Thank you so much for your video.

[@donnamocko5805]

What a wonderful idea!! I have been crocheting over 55 years & have never seen this! I will certainly be using this method of crocheting in my ends, from now on!!Thank you soooooo much!! God Bless!💜🤗

[@donnamocko5805]

@@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree Thank you.

[@donnalynn2]

That's a fantastic tip! Will give that a whirl! Thanks for mentioning that simply crocheting over the tail isn't a good idea. The first few years I started I didn't know that. I had heard it was a great way to avoid the dreaded weaving in of ends. Then an afghan I made as a gift unraveled in the washing machine a couple years after I made it. I was mordified! Now I am so careful about making sure my ends are secure. I want to make sure nobody else relives what happened to me.

[@susandowns9383]

I've been doing that occasionally but yours looks much easier than mine. Thank you for posting this!

[@cyanl1]

I love your tips! They are always great for making your project more finished, more secure, easier to work. Thank you so much!

[@stephanierobertson7748]

I wish I had watched this month ago!!! I've just finished a big virus blanket and had to weave in all my ends. I wanted to cry! I will definitely be using this technique in future. Thank you 😁

[@donnahutchinson5392]

I have done this for awhile now. It makes me more cautious to not make mistakes. 😉

[@sunnyday6567]

Thank you so much for this video tutorial. I searched for one, because I was trying to learn this method from a foto tutorial and I couldn’t understand how it worked. Now I know 🤓 and I will surely use it on my projects. Thanks again!

[@geetha92533]

Oh my gosh! This is a great idea. Early on, when I first learned, I tried crocheting with both the the yarn and tail, thinking I was being very clever but of course, it was too bulky and looked awful. I gave up on the idea and went back to weaving ends in. It never occurred to me to just do it for half the stitch! Thank you for the excellent tip.

[@Shamazcorner]

Wow! Nice to see someone else also figured this out. It’s simple and secure. I’ve been doing it for a while now. I am lazy and I agree one bright side of being lazy is also being innovative 😂

[@carolehastings1902]

Love love love this, why have I not seen this method before? Thank you I can’t wait to try this now ❤️😘

[@stephanieb9508]

This is awesome! Definitely going to start using this technique. Hate weaving tails. This technique will definitely cut down on that. Thanks Robin, your the best!

This is a game changer! Wish I knew this 43 years ago. Thank you so much!

[@carletaschwontkowski7350]

love, love, love it. Thanks so much. Very helpful. Just hate weaving ends in so try not to make anything with a lot of tails. Will tackle those projects now. thanks again.

[@KH-rf1pt]

I was sent here by Sigoni Macaroni!!! I am so glad she put this in her LCE email! This is a super way to weave in ends; especially when there are a lot of different color changes or skein changes! I absolutely am going to be making a multi color blankie now just because of this technique!! Thank you so much for making this tutorial and thank you to Sigoni for suggesting it!

[@CherylDFloyd]

This is brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing it! I'll definitely try it. I'd like to see how you do it with single crochet.

[@colleenroberts4010]

Me too!! I’m doing a temperature blanket and would help tremendously!!

[@cheriekalel9578]

And just last night while crocheting i was wondering if there was a better way for this, AND HERE YOU ARE WITH THE ANSWER!!! Thank you very much!

This is by far the best method I have tried for crocheting my ends when I change colors. Thank you!!

[@christinemarsden2157]

A great tip, Robin.....why did I not know this? Definitely going to add this to my repetoire. It actually halves the weaving in, and I'm all for that, Thank you xx

[@fashionista.talenista96]

YAAAAAAAASSSSAAAAAAHHHHH. I'm sorry, but I'm trying to do a Plaid Panties project (Lol), and I had soooo much trouble weaving in the ends. Thank you for this video. So smartly done. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@shannonkeele4605]

Absolutely genius!! Thank you so much for sharing. I have just ordered yarn to do a very heavy color change afghan (every row changes) and your timing with this amazing tip could not be better!! I am really excited to do my project now. I was dreading all the ends, but I really wanted to do the pattern. Woo hoo! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love your channel and your Brit accent. Carry on!

[@melwallace9960]

Fabulous! I’ve always done under the new stitches as I crochet, but this is even better! More secure no doubt! Thanks for showing it! 💕

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

I've crocheted with tail for years but not as neatly as this method... thank you!

[@sharondixon2331]

Finally the best tip I’ve seen so far.

[@caroldrake3574]

I love it. I will try it on the afghan I am finish up now. But I will continue to crochet over the other color too, so all I will have to do is weave back the other way. Thank you so much for showing us.

[@abbynormal4740]

Thanks for this tutorial! I haven't tried this method with traditional crochet, but did something similar on a Tunisian crochet entrelac blanket. I would leave tails from both the working yarn and new yarn long enough to do a full forward and reverse pass on the next row and alternate between the tails when working each loop through both passes, then pick up the new working yarn on the final return pass loop and start the next row. Both tails ended up worked securely into the stitching without adding bulk and created a nearly invisible join. 😉😀

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re welcome Abby! That sounds a good way of doing it too.😃🧶

[@JudileeHays]

Thank you! I have been crocheting for years, using a variation of this, only using the whole stitch. Thank you!

[@mrsjb8843]

Brilliant tip, I will certainly use this with my current WIP which changes colour every two rows. Thank you

[@NanasCrochetIdeas]

I actually do something similar, I will just catch it with the dc up to the next several rows often when I change colors in row. It also makes it a little more difficult to frog. Thanks for sharing!

[@sean19122]

This is a great technique. One thing I have been doing recently (similarly) is leaving a long tail when I start a colour - 10cm) and using a tapestry technique to carry the yarn under my stitches but alternating between the tail and the working yarn to form my stitches until the tail is gone. Same idea-the tail becomes part of the stitch work and is woven in very securely.

[@denisemodica9792]

R U KIDDING 🎉 😃can’t believe I haven’t seen this sooner fantastic idea 😃I have done that but with only with one stitch can’t believe I didn’t think to do it with more stitches
