About weaving-in ends

It’s important to have a go-to method of weaving-in ends that works most of time, but keep in mind that in order for the result to be tidy, the weaving-in of ends should follow the texture of your knitted project. Every project has a different stitch pattern, but it’s always knits and purls or some combination of these, so you should still be able to follow the flow of yarn through the pattern and hide your ends. The method shown in the video works well for knit, purl, and garter stitch.

Recommendations for beginners

• Don’t tie a knot, as that can result in tension issues later, and there is no need, and you would still need to weave in the ends after tying a knot.
• After weaving in your end, trim it as close as possible to the work
• Weave with switchbacks so that the yarn is locked better
• Weave in as much as you can to prevent unraveling but only so long as it’s not adding bulk that is noticeable in the finished work
• Trim the end further from the edge rather than right on the edge. That way if it unravels a bit, it won’t show, and if it’s wool, it will likely eventually matt itself back into oblivion
• With softer, finer yarns, weave in more, with wool, and less-soft-wools, you can get away with far less weaving!
