How to Join 2 Yarns with a Magic Knot - 4 Different Ways

[@naztazia]

Ever use any of 4 magic knots shown in crochet and knitting? How about that fabric glue?

[@beckycaughel7557]

I have used “fray stop” and clear, nail polish to stop fraying the ends that I weave in but they have a very bad odor. Does the glue that you used smell?

[@bikettte77]

J'utilise souvent le 1er nœud et j'ai déjà utilisé le 4ème mais il est très gros. Par contre, je ne connaissais pas les 2 autres et je n'ai jamais utilisé de colle à tissu et je ne savais pas que l'on pouvait le faire pour renforcer un nœud. Merci pour cette nouvelle vidéo.

[@lji_btrfly]

I use the magic knot almost always. I tighten it almost all the way and add a drop of fabric glue inside the knot. Then when I tighten it and some of the glue squishes out, I roll the knot between my fingers to spread the glue around the outside.

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

I often use the 'magic knot' without any issues over the years. But if I do not want a knot, I use what I believe is called the 'Russian Join' by threading each of the yarns into each other. It takes a little tiny bit of time however is very worth it. I also have never seen the Weaver's knot so I will be trying it soon. Thanks Naztazia!!! xxx

[@naztazia]

Wonderful! Good to know! In a few videos from now I'll show the Russian join as well as several other non-knot methods too 😊

[@bernerandgoldenmom7143]

Thank you so much! It's nice to have options. Also, your explanations are not only easy to follow, but your mention of the fishermen's knot looking like a pretzel was terrific!! It makes it so much easier to remember. The Russian join is a great way to join yarns, but it is a tricky process and takes time to do. Plus, if you're using really thin yarn, it's almost impossible to do. This really is so much better. Thanks again!

[@naztazia]

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks so much. I have been looking for a knot that could solve my color change problem, just like this knot can. Thanks so much. I have been following you for years now and love your patterns and tips. Thanks for sharing /love from Sweden

Wonderful!

[@ShirleyHatchett]

Shirley from England here.. Yay 🎉hurrah ❣️👍 simplified methods .. thank you. I would like to tell you, for interest, that the square knot 🪢 over here is called the “Staffordshire Knot” it’s the symbol on the county flag of Staffordshire where I grew up. As a Brownies it was the first knot we were taught to get our first Brownie badge 😊xxx

[@naztazia]

Thank you for the information! Good to know!

[@dinav2052]

I was in Brownies in the US and it was a knot I learned too, and use it when I join. I still say, "Right over left, and left over right, makes a square knot nice and tight" every time I make one. Lol😂

[@ShirleyHatchett]

@@dinav2052 Shirley here.. yes❣️it was the mantra for learning the knot. Also it doesn’t come undone if you pull each end but if you pull the loops on left and right the knot undoes easily … I was in the Gnomes.. ☹️ but I wanted to be a fairy 🧚 xxx

Thanks for sharing this. I've heard of magic knots but wasn't how they were tied.

[@naztazia]

[@yerboykakyoin624]

The square knot is used for the tie in the girl guides of Canada uniforms! I learned it in the brownie (now called “embers”) handbook and at the meetings! (I didn’t join GGC until I was first year brownie age) we remembered it as “left over right tuck under and pull, right over left tuck under and pull” I still say that everytime I use that knot :) a cool fact is the tie can be used as a sling etc in an emergency B)

Yes! 💯🥰

[@Amy2775]

I always use the magic knot too

[@naztazia]

Awesome!

[@annie-up8xt]

which do you think is the most secure knot?

[@naztazia]

The binders knot, last one shown, is the most secure knot in my experience, but produces the largest knot. If that knot can be successfully hidden, I generally use that one in heavily used items. My second favorite knot is the fisherman's knot, the first one. That produces a small yet sturdy knot that can be hidden nicely even in delicate items.

[@DaisyMartinez-ny5nz]

Hi, this is really helpful to me, thank you. Any chance you make a tutorial how using the knitting machine 😂 l got one for my birthday.

[@naztazia]

I will try!

[@furtadoyvonne7604]

[@rylieto]

Do you have a couple of recommendations for the flexible fabric glue? I want to make sure I pick one that will work well.

[@naztazia]

Through the years I have used several (and as new ones come out I do try them and some become my new favorite). My latest favorite is Aleene's Fabric Fusion Quick Dry. They are in little tubes at WMart, usually 3 to a pack, in the craft glue section.

[@rylieto]

​@naztazia Thanks for replying so quick. I'll have to look for that the next time I am at Walmart. Would you recommend covering the knot on both side with the glue or adding just a little bit?

[@naztazia]

It depends upon how secure the knot really needs to be. If I'm making handbags, especially the handle part, I saturate that knot with glue (and the knot is usually hidden so it doesn't show). If it's something else like a home decor item that won't be washed, I just use a little drop.

[@jaysasamson7178]

[@maryoregan6770]

Your second knot, the Square Knot, is usually called a Reef Knot.

[@naztazia]

From a purist perspective, it is better to call it a square knot, since a square knot is an unslipped version and matches what is in the video. Reef knots, technically, are a single slipped knot.

[@maryoregan6770]

The last one is an Overhand Knot.

[@naztazia]

An overhand knot is not the same as a binder's knot. An overhand knot is the type of knot most people start off with when tying their shoe. The binder's knot has some similarities to the "overhand knot with a bight" but it is not exactly the same since the latter usually has a loop, which the binder's knot does not.

[@susananderson3478]

I just wonder how most people deal with knots in a yarn skein?

[@naztazia]

I know people who trim them out and redo the two strands either with a splice type of join or their own knot.

[@florindagallardo2863]

May I ask where you get your yarn from?

[@naztazia]

I believe the majority of the yarn in this video is 100% acrylic super bulky weight. There are several brand too, like Lion Brand Hometown, a Premier Yarn, and Loops and Threads too. Most can be found online or craft stores (at least in the USA).

Normalerweise macht man beim Häkeln und Stricken überhaupt keine Knoten. Das wäre am professionellsten. Knoten können beim Waschen aufgehen. Das habe ich bereits als Kind gelernt. Knoten sind tabu.

[@naztazia]

Bei stark beanspruchten Artikeln wie Handtaschen und Haustierdecken müssen manchmal Knoten und Klebstoff angebracht und die Enden verwebt werden. Manche Garne wie Bambus und Nylon benötigen zusätzliche Knoten und Klebstoff, um die Enden zu verbinden. Das Verweben der Enden mit einer Garnnadel reicht nicht aus.
