How to switch colors while crocheting

[@summerneff7561]

You’re the only one who has helped me understand how to change a color. I’ve been cutting them and then tying a knot at the end 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@melonie_peppers]

Same this is way cleaner

[@dq8431]

it's a good idea to tie it so it's more secure but it might unravel if it's cut too short. you can always tie a knot and still crochet the ends in

I have been crocheting for 3 year. But I've never had the patience to crochet something big and I've kind of quit over time. But I've been watching your Temperature blanket series and it inspired me to to start crocheting again. I hope to start a bigger project soon. And maybe next year I will start a tempature blanket. Thank you! I love your channel!

[@macydiy9697]

Same!! I also want to do a temp blanket next year.... we will see lol!!

[@cherb_soco1891]

Just a thought. Perhaps try a blanket/ throw made from simple squares, like a Granny pattern. It may not seem so daunting. Good luck. And you can do it! 😀

[@ceannerennie6448]

ITS YOUR TIME START THE TEMP BLANKET HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@juliamontejo1520]

I learned to crochet when I was maybe like 9 years old. Finally made a large item (a blanket), because I bought super bulky yarn so it worked up faster and felt more satisfying to see it grow quickly 😂

[@pjm0621]

What is a Temperature blanket?

[@sabasabuhi9127]

Your videos gave me the motivation to learn crochet 🧶😄

[@dellah.599]

I can tell you that I used to do that with the ends but as a crocheted for almost 50 yrs now I can also tell you that the ends can and a lot of times do come out.

[@Claire-tz8yl]

Yeah because it looks like you've only weaved them in one direction, it might work better of you leave a longer end and crochet over the end over 3 rows. I hate weaving but I think I'll stick to doing it the normal way. Feels more secure

[@karenatchley6201]

I have used this method forever, however, I fold the “tails” up and over the new yarn BEFORE make the single chain. Then I continue on just as you showed. It does save A LOT of time

[@WalkingFishTaco]

I always tie an unhealthy amount of knots because I can’t handle the thought of any of my projects falling apart even if it’s unlikely😂

[@amandaprewitt949]

This is actually what I’m wondering about myself

[@Zoey5374]

What if you followed what she does in the video but also tie the tails of the yarn together? I’m not sure how it would work but it might add a little extra comfort since the knot would still be there but hidden and secured with the technique used in the video. I haven’t switched colours much when crocheting and haven’t crocheted in a little while but definitely want to start again soon. I’m definitely the same way though, I tie knots whenever I’m worried about how a yarn project will hold together (knitting, crocheting, etc).

[@bellw5834]

Good 😆 better than hours of work to get oofed in the wash. The only thing that that would be a good idea with is wool because it felts to itself and makes a fleece.

[@mtlcaramel]

I'm sitting on an afghan currently coming apart. It happens. Even with 30 years experience.

[@elizabetholiviaclark]

I tie a knot out of an abundance of caution, but I don't get unhealthy about it. lol

[@maddiew3]

i have been knitting my whole life and recently crocheting and i have always just cut the old color and tied on a new one! super easy and no one can tell.

[@Joya_Day]

My great grandma taught me to crochet when I was around 8. I crochet to this day and I have NEVER seen a color transitioning so clean. 😭 I do this complicated way. This is so much better.

[@shawnlutz4133]

Same here. This way is so much easier. Now if my elbow wouldn't hurt so much when I crochet ☹️

[@MaridoDoFelps]

Everytime I need help with anything crochet-related and I google for help, your video is always the only one able to help me, because of the way you explain and show how to do stuff. Imma start just searching for what I need directly from your channel at this point 😂

[@Lucia-yc9zj]

Another tip to add to this: for extra security, you can tie those 2 ends together with a single knot before weaving them in

[@liviapopsor8242]

I was thinking the same thing. Better safe then sorry .

[@Chrissanthumum]

Thank you for making an easy to follow short tutorial.There was no long annoying preamble. I really appreciated that.

[@jewelofgod4262]

Those ends are not secure. You must "weave" in your ends back and forth. These will work their way loose and leave holes as the blanket gets used and washed ✌️❤️😊

[@rheanneisafreak]

Agreed. Used this method on a blanket for my mom and all the ends are poking through. It’s annoying to weave but it’s well worth it.

[@lindasyarnbarn5176]

Completely true. Those ends are going to come loose and a lot of work will be lost. Not leaving the tails long enough either.

[@samanthabelliveau7206]

[@LuckyNiffler]

I don't really understand how to weave in ends. Your comment has helped a bit. But I did realize myself that this is not the way to go because of exactly what you said the ends just come out.

[@valentinacalderon6369]

Will it not break apart after a while without a knot to secure the ends? I'm a beginner and I feel insecure leaving the ends like that

[@rla8125]

I always tie a knot before I crochet over my ends. I had a blanket come out of the wash with an end undone and unraveled about 6 rows once. After that I ALWAYS tie a knot. It works the same, you just tie a small knot before you work over the ends. :)

[@beckylintgen1176]

yes it will, but knots aren't necessary. I would never trust this project in a washing machine.

[@stefanilabbe7497]

I use this same technique, although I leave the tails a bit longer. I usually crochet them into the row for about 10 stitches and then weave the tail back on itself twice. This ensures the yarn goes a different direction 3 times so it won’t come out. Tedious, but I’ve never had a project unravel doing it this way. Crocheting it into the row the first time just saves you from weaving it once.

[@maybebuffalo6049]

​@stefanilabbe7497 absolutely agree

[@txsunshinecowgirl]

i have been crocheting for a while and i never use knots, its not necessary, i recommend leaving a long tail and weaving it through your work, if you just crochet over them it will come apart, hope you enjoy your day and crochet

Ty for the refresher. I suffered a stroke and could no longer hold the small, thin, typical hook in my hand tightly or properly and 3yrs later, I finally got myself a nice ergonomic set with rubber handles. My 10yo son said he wants a scarf bc it is currently -3 outside and I couldn't remember how to drop a color completely. I really hope I don't let him down. This is my 1st project since then.

My favorite hack for this is to do exactly what she did, just when you have a little left of your tails after crocheting you pull the crochet bit tight and scrunched then keep crocheting so when you un scrunch it, you arent left with aka awkward little fuzz sticking out!

[@yourfac377]

I would throw just a quick little double knot on there, and I do because I've had projects come apart like this because just weaving in those ends isn't going to necessarily secure it enough to prevent that from unraveling.
