Many crocheters and knitters swear this is stronger than the standard magic knot (fisherman’s knot) - I had never believed it until now . What about you? X

TOO funny! My grandma taught this join to me when I first learned in the early 1960's. And I have never seen anyond EVER do it on KZbin! lol. Thanks for this 're-teach' of what I think is also the strongest join of this type to use. Have a great weekend. Richard

This is the best video for this knot. Your videography is so clear. I like seeing that you tucked the short ends under your thumb nail. Your voice is very calming for learning new techniques. Your instructions are so concise - not a lot of preamble and unnecessary chit chat.. Great teaching. Thank you.

Thank you! I am definitely going to try out this knot. I like to use the tiniest amount of Fray Check, I don't even think it is half drop because I don't let it drop, lol. Just to be certain a knot stays put. Especially if I am using slippery yarn.

Yay, success, eventually. First go I don't know what happened but it pulled apart. 🤔 Second attempt I accidently cut into the yarn when snipping off the excess threads. 😵‍💫Third go I got it.😁 I will keep practicing now so it gets into my old head! I really think this is much more simple to do than getting the threads, crossing them over the other blah blah. This I can do while sitting around at my craft group without needing a table or large lap, which I don't possess, haha. So practical. Thank you.

Hello and thank you for all the tips that you learn to us, I have a question which knot do you think is safer? Magic knot, the better way to do magic knot ( square knot) or the thumb knot? Thank you

@PlayHookywithMe 9 ай бұрын

Great question! I think this knot is phenomenal but because it’s fairly new for me I haven’t used it enough to say it’s the best yet. I think of the two versions, I’d like to continue trying the one wrap because that would be great to have a solid hold with less bulk. Until I know for sure, I feel the most reliable knot is the classic magic knot (where you make 2 knots with yarn parallel to eachother ) . I’ve never had this come undone over years of use, no matter yarn type or how close I cut to it. The least reliable is the square knot because I’ve learned from viewers that it comes undone with softer yarn when you cut too close to the knot 😑. Such a bummer. I still like it if I’m using cotton but if it’s a soft yarn , I keep the tails and just work over them to make sure it stays. So… #1 classic magic knot #2 thumb knot #3 square knot with cotton yarn Hope that helps 💕

@judyeuller7602 10 ай бұрын

I don't do it that way, but yesterday I did 3 of them and managed to sever the yarn at the knot when cutting off the tails on 2 of them. So I got lots of practice because of redoing them. Woe is me. 😅

Is this knot less visible or feel better to the touch than the good ol’ square knot I make? What is the advantage over the square knot? It looks more complicated to me.

@PlayHookywithMe 10 ай бұрын

From what I understand, it’s more reliable than the square knot, but if you’re not having any issues , then I don’t see any other advantages

@liliasawyer7145 10 ай бұрын

Thank you. Is this thumb wrap method less bulky than a fisherman's knot?

@PlayHookywithMe 10 ай бұрын

To me it is … the two strands slide side by side to eachother and it looks less bumpy. Especially if you only do the one loop. I actually made a sample of both to compare and show in the video and now that you’re asking me , it just reminded me. Totally forgot to include that. 😖

@liliasawyer7145 10 ай бұрын

@@PlayHookywithMe thank you so much. I will try it with both 1 and 2 loops and will see which one holds better for my slippery yarn. I think that's the biggest test of the practical use of knotting.

That’s a good question, I’m not quite sure. I’m guessing it is more durable since you have the yarn secured with that extra wrap.

It’s great for adding a new ball of yarn when you’re running out or if you are making a scrap yarn cake or ball. Many crocheters I know use it instead of the more familiar magic knot.
