See the 6 things I don't do in crochet! th-cam.com/video/o0_r2HifkIA/w-d-xo.html
That is so wonderful. I’m 82 years old and have never seen this before. Been crocheting since I was 8 yrs. thank you so much
Thank you, great to hear it was useful! You have been crocheting for quite some time!
@@TuulaMaaria i have been crocheting since i eas 8 years old but i have never seen it done like that before great.
That’s wonderful that you still enjoy crocheting! Bless your heart!!
❤️
CAN I BE YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER 🥺
I see your video is 7 years old, It saved me today, thank you for all your wonderful tips. 😊❤
Lovely! I have 2 newer videos about this but TH-cam keeps showing the oldest one 😊
This is brilliant. Why did I not learn this 35 years ago?
Better now than never :)
This is the first time I’ve seen this method. Total game changer for me. Thank you!
Good to hear - yes, it is very handy!
I know your video says this won’t work with bulky yarn but right now I’m making a scarf with Wool Ease Thick and Quick weight 6 super bulky yarn, and this method actually worked like a charm. Very happy I came across this video. Thank you!
Oh right, that's good to know! I have used that yarn, it probably works because it is quite soft. But I haven't tried with it, thank you for letting me know! 💙
Absolutely genius! I SO hate feeling the knots! Thank you so much for this awesome tip; I can't wait to try it on a project that I am currently working on.
Happy to hear it was useful 😊
I'm a 76 yrs old beginner from Cape Town South Africa.
Hello, it's great to start a new hobby at any age 😊 Greetings from Finland!

Thank you
Have you tried this tip in practice? Did it make your crocheting or knitting easier? Here's another video with an easy crochet tip: th-cam.com/video/89SCjbSC1mQ/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful video. Short sweet and too the point. And most of all very helpful. I appreciate u not over explaining it and trying to show us how to do this like we are complete idiots and need it explained to us in too many overly confusing little steps. This was a wonderful and effective video to teach me what I was looking for. And u didn’t waste 20 minutes of my time teaching me something that can be taught in two. I appreciate u.
Thank you, that is great to hear! Yes, I try not to have anything unnecessary in my videos!
Who knew!? What a great tip, thank you, Tuula!
Great 😊
So easy and nicer than weaving in or doing a knot. I’m a beginner at crocheting and love this method !! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
That's great 😊
Thank you, I'm new to crocheting. For my first project, I'm making a small throw blanket for my grandma. I was nervous about learning how to move onto another skein, but you make this look simple!
Wonderful!
Even though this was posted a few years ago, I'd like to thank you for posting, I've struggled with joining yarn for a while and this has made it so much easier and much much neater, thank you very much.
Thank you! I do have a newer, improved version of that old video, on it I stress more to overlap the yarns long enough. th-cam.com/video/RdZrJtn7Hdg/w-d-xo.html
OMG this is genius! my mind is blown. THANK YOU
Thank you, as someone that's learnt everything I know about crocheting from youtube, it's nice to see someone pass on the helpful tips.
That's great, yes, TH-cam is great for tips! Have you seen my 10 tips video? There might be something on it you haven't seen yet! 🙂 th-cam.com/video/TtOTAiFVfmc/w-d-xo.html
Even with a fairly thick yarn, this technique is amazing! Thank you for sharing. I feel so accomplished now 😂😂😂
Lovely! 😊
I wish I could hold my yarn like you do, I probably wouldn't have finger cramps...lol thank you for the video...
wow thank you so very much for showing us this how much better our projects are going to be now.
Love you God Bless 😊❤
This is amazing , I'm absoutely beginner , learning crochets from youtube . 😍👏🏻
Wonderful!

Thank you so very much honey!
I’m 79 been crocheting since I was about 8 and never knew this either.
@@oliviamcallister4833 That's a lot of years crocheting 💗
I can’t wait to try this. I’m making my first blanket and this seems like the easiest method to pick up and the blending of the two yarns looks so seamless!
Great! Make sure you overlap the yarns enough, this older video doesn't stress that as much as the newer one of the same! th-cam.com/video/RdZrJtn7Hdg/w-d-xo.html
The project I'm working on primarily does Half Double Crochet. Will this still work and be stable? I'm making a top so i expect this to get washed every now and then
Yes, it works as long as you double the yarns for long enough, with half double crochets I would say 3 stitches on both sides of the join.
and it will make my projects less messy looking. Thankyou again.

After so many years crocheting 🧶 finally a simple way to join a yarn. No more knots 🪢. Ty for sharing 🥰❤️🙏
Wonderful!
Like Jeaneane, I have also been crocheting a long time. I'm now 64 and have never seen this before! I will be using this method for my knitting as well, it will save having to sew in all those ends. Just goes to show you never stop learning!
So glad to hear you found this as a new tip! Yes, there is always new to learn, no matter how long you have been crocheting 🙂 I also use this in knitting too.
This is perfect! I love scrappy projects and hate weaving in the ends. Thank you.
That's great!
This is the simplest and best joining of new yarn that I have seen.
This is a wonderful tip. Thank you.
Thank you so very much for this! This is exactly what I needed for my project!
I just started crochet and am so glad there is a trick like this. It is similar to adding thread when tatting. Thank you for a clear and simple video to follow.
Glad it was helpful!
Weaving is what I don't like the most when I do my projects. This is awesome! I can't wait to try it.
Wonderful!
So clever, much ,better than tying wool together which can make ugly knits in the work. Thank-you for your excellent tip.💗
According to TH-cam, your video was made 6 yrs ago. I have been crocheting a lot longer than that, and never knew how to do this. I thank you very much for your tutorial.
Yes, it's 6 years old but still gets hundreds of views every day! It is great that there is always new to learn no matter how long we have been crocheting!
Same here. My question to you Tulia now is once you cut the ends, it WON'T unravel??
@@susanvampressqueencolvin4721 You need to make sure to overlap the yarns enough, the they don’t. I have a couple of newer videos about this and on them I talk about this more but TH-cam keeps pushing the old one to viewers!
@@TuulaMaaria thanks tuula 🥰
is this strong enough to hold? i always knot mine because i'm paranoid that it will unravel.
You need to overlap the yarns enough. I have never knotted yarns in my decades of crochet and none has ever come apart!
I've done something similar (to avoid a knot) and it works well. And as you've said, as long as the yarn is long enough, it should be ok after washings. If it's too short it will eventually come out.
This is fantastic, thank you this is so simple and looks so much neater. Brilliant.
This is brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing.
You are so welcome!
No knots! I will not work in a knot ever! I'd rather have a few thicker stitches than a knot which will bug me forever! ❤
Genius!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! 🙂
Thank you so much for this! I’m working on a project with double crochets and am getting close to the end of my first skein. This showed how to incorporate the new skein perfectly!
Wonderful!
Thanks for the tip! Had searched joining yarn and this didn't come up in top results then but it came up as a suggested vid a few days later.
Ok, that's great, TH-cam remembers what you have been searching for!
Never knew this. Thank you!!
I’m making my first crochet blanket for my first granddaughter and Ihave a wonderful friend guiding me. When I needed to start second and third skeins of yarn, your method is what I used.
I was able to do and am grateful for your tutorial. Thank you!
Wonderful! Congratulations on the first granddaughter! 💗
nice. I have tried tying a knot and continuing on both ends of the string, maybe im not tying a secure knot though. But I will try the method you have showed us when I crochet :) seems pretty simple and easy.
Yes, try this. And never knots in crochet or knitting, leaves hard lumps and open easily. If this tip doesn't suit you, then leave ends hanging and weave in afterwards.
@@TuulaMaaria I have just finished a thick double crochet blanket with thick sparkly white yarnspirations and when that ball was done I added another variegated colour. However I didn’t trust the magic knot so I tied this wool together 4 times really tight . I did it 4 times for added measure and your right I have ugly knots . I did 2 and pulled so tight but the wool did come apart in some. I’m not sure if it’s the wool ,but it definitely doesn’t appear to be really strong as it’s a thread in middle with the soft on outside of the wool . Now I have tons of knots I can’t cut out . There’s 9 thick knots and cut off tight that I can’t fix . Yikes 😬.
Dude I got so mad I cried when I tried anyone else's methods. Yours however, I managed in less than five minutes and it worked, so, thank you
That's wonderful to hear! 😊
Thank you for sharing this brilliant tip. Very helpful! God bless.
I tried to use this and I messed up my whole project 😭
Oh no, wonder what went wrong!!
Love this. I always worry that the yarn will unravel but this looks secure. Thank you!
This is truly the best color change join I’ve seen ever! I’m slowly working my way back into crocheting after three years of not making anything and dealing with my broken body and rehabilitation. So, thank you so much for sharing and I’m now your biggest fan! I look forward to watching all of your video lessons!
Thank you, great to hear! Enjoy all the crochet you will be doing :)
Thank you for this great tip. Since I learned it I use it with all my knit and crochet projects. (I hate weaving in ends. 😉).
That's great! 😊
What a brilliant idea! Thank you so much for sharing!! I haven’t been able to crochet for years because of swelling in my hands it was just too painful! My dr put me on a new medication and it’s made such a HUGE change for me! I am doing so many things that I use to love and crochet was top on my list!
So happy to hear you are able to crochet again!
This is easiest mathod I have ever seen how to joining yarn...thanks for sharing...
Omg what a beautiful way to join and no lumps or knots. Thanks
Great, isn't it handy!
GGGREAT !👍Next time I do Crochet I will use this method, it looks simple and Amazing result !Thank You for teaching !❤🙂❤!
most direct and concise video. Thank you!
Great to hear, thank you!
So glad I saw this, thank you!
Hi, I am super paranoid about switching colors - so fearful of the knots coming off one fine day. Not anymore. Thanks for sharing this wonderful technique. A 65 year old beginner from Singapore.!
Thank you, great it is useful to you! Yes, knots would easily come off, with this one the ends stay as long as you overlap them enough! Greetings from Finland 💙
Thank you, that works great and becomes almost invisible - way better than the other videos I have seen where people tied a knot. With this way I can unravel if needed - thanks 😀
Yes, it works well, as long as the yarn isn't too heavy. And true, no problem unravelling!
How cool & nifty is that?? I think that *THIS* is by far my *FAVORITE* way of joining yarn FLAWLESSLY!!! *THANK YOU THANK YOU!!*
I wish I had seen your video before I started my blanket! I have already joined two skeins of yarn and they don't look as flawless. I am going to use your method from now on! Thank you so much!
Yes, you can use this method for the next blanket! All the best!
I splice both yarn ends and crochet both halfs together at 15 cm. I would not like the extra thickness with 2 Strands.
That is one way of doing it but I prefer not to split the yarn, it so easily then shows when the split part moves a bit. But it works ok of course!
This is different and I would’ve never thought to do this. But I can also see those two stitches are much bulkier than the others. I wouldn’t personally use this but this is still a great technique!
Super! Thank you for that tip. I will use it:)
Absolutely fantastic method of joining yarn. Great camera work , clear explanation and technique. Kudos to you.
Thank you :)
This is brilliant! I am fairly new to crochet & find this method much easier than any other I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing this technique !
I'm glad you like it! Enjoy crochet!
Thank you doing this video. As an old dog, I like learning new tricks. I've been trying and trying and trying to perfect the "surgeon's knot." Now I can stop trying and cussing and being frustrated. I will now be using this much easier method. Thank you
Great to hear! Yes, this is much easier when you work on yarns that aren't very heavy. Happy crocheting 🙂
EXCELLENT... NO MORE KNOTS IN THE YARN - b/c no matter how small of a knot your able to make, it’s still a lump!!!
Oh definitely, never knots in crochet, they are horrible!
This is absolutely genius! I can't believe I haven't heard of this method before. I normally avoid projects with frequent colour changes but not any more 😊😊Thank you so much for sharing 💕
Great to hear! Yes, I was so pleased to learn this as well, many years ago now but I had been crocheting for a very long time before that!
Excellent suggestion. It works very well. 🙏
Thank you soo much I’m a new crocheter and I’m working on a blanket, and I so needed to see this video thank you so much. Although my yarn is different colors throughout , it also helped me out making sure I got the right colors crocheted in. Thank you
Thank you, that's great! 😊

That is so easy! Thank you for showing us.
oh my gosh, thankyou so very much for showing this. im new to crocheting and this is the best that ive seen. again thankyou
I'm glad you found it useful! I use it myself wherever possible because weaving in yarn ends is much more work!
This is the best ( and easiest ) way I’ve seen to add yarn into a piece of work... Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!!!
Thank you so much for your time.they are all different languages for pink panther. I love the one Steffy makes but is in Italian language.thank you so much
Easy, simple and a neat job. Hardly visible. Love this idea. You are great Ma'am. Thanks for sharing and caring. I appreciate the time taken to make this video and post it on TH-cam. We viewers are truly grateful to you. Hugs 👍👍👍💕😘
Thank you, I'm real glad you find it clear and helpful! All the best :)
Thank you much.
This is a great idea. I'm just concerned that with repeat washing of things crocheted, it might start coming off.
If you know that the item will be washed often, use the yarn double longer than shown on the video.
Thank you. I will try using your method on my stuff first to be on the safe side. :)
Thank you so much for this new tip!
I'm confused now this works exactly, if you do this then couldn't you just pull it apart if someone pulls on either of the tails left behind?
There's no tails. After you have finished crocheting or knitting the double yarn part, you cut off the rest. The important thing is to double them up for long enough so there's no danger of them getting undone on their own at wash or use.
Thanks for sharing this easy method.
thank you so much for this fantastic tutorial!! It has always bugged me to tie knots and cut off feet/yards of yarn in projects changing from one yarn to another.. with this we not only save the time it takes to stop and tie knots and weave in ends but little to no wasted yarn.. it's a win win in my book :D
Glad you like it! Yes, it is a very handy way to do it!
This worked perfectly. Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m new to crocheting and had no idea how to start a new ball of yarn
Glad I could help! Happy crocheting!
Brilliant!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
This just blew my mind
Check out also my video about 7 useful crochet tips! th-cam.com/video/AlYTEHI5BHM/w-d-xo.html
I really like this the best and it weaves in most of the extra yarn also. Thank you!
Glad you find it useful :)
Wow I never thought of this!, I used to tie them and make a knot but it would leave a weird bumpy circle in my stitch so this is perfect, thankyou very much
Great! Yes, definitely never knots in crochet or knitting!
That is so cool! When I first learned to crochet I just tied the ends together. Then I learned the proper way to change yarn, but it was always so tedious because you have to be very very careful to cut the right piece of yarn and you also have to weave in the ends. This way is so much easier! Thank you!
Thank you! Yes, this saves a lot of time :)
So glad you made this. Just sorry it took me so long to find it. Thank you!
Doesn’t this make the parts where you join thicker?
Yes, that's why you woudn't use this for thick yarns. With finer yarns it doesn't show much, and also weaving in makes it thicker wherever you put the yarn tail.
You've changed everything for me! Watching your videos make me love crochet more and more. I'm a knitter and so crochet reluctantly but your little tips and tricks here and there (of which I've tried almost all) make me enjoy crocheting just as much
That's lovely to hear! Great to know the videos have been useful and you enjoy crochet too :)
Thank you. Thats really simple.
Tried this right after I watched it. It's amazing! Thank you!
Great to hear :)
I just started learning to crochet and you are the best teacher! 😮Thissssss was so simple!
Thank you! Really glad you have started to crochet, enjoy learning more all the time! 💗
This is great, but I am using a bulky yarn right now and fear it won’t work since it’s so thick....and how are we sure it won’t pull out? Thanks.
did you figure it out? im using bulky yarn too!
This doesn't work for bulky yarn, makes too thick spots. You can either split the ends of the yarn and do it this way or what I normally do with bulky yarn, just finish it off the normal way using needle and thread.
For knowing the yarns ends won't pull out, need to double them long enough, several stitches.
I used this technique on a thinner yarn 🧶 and it was super crazy awesome and easy! ❤️
Hi Tuulla, Could you please do a video on how you would add Bernat baby blanket yarn and Bernat blanket yarn in middle of a row, change colors etc,. Thanks so much! Enjoy your tutorials!
Like I told my friend we are always learning something new in the craft world. Thanks for Sharing
Yes, always something new can come up even after many years! I had been crocheting for over 30 years before I learned this!
