Great tutorial. I use a similar method but crochet the whole stitch with the tail. It does add bulk so I will try your half stitch method. Great tip, thanks again.
I am crocheting an Afghan with wide stripes. Discovered your video when I was half finished, with many color change ends to have to weave in. I had a hard time trying to do this method with the chain 1, skip 1, single crochet pattern. After many tries I finally found a way to do it. I chained 1 with my working strand and used your method for the single crochets. Voila! No more ends to weave in on the remaining half of my afghan. I have never seen such an ingenious method before. Thank you!
... that's... frakking... GENIUS!!! 😱 I knew about the method where you crochet the ENTIRE stitch with both your tail and working yarn, but that just makes a hugely obvious bulky spot IMO. But this... this is absolutely BRILLIANT! 🖤
OMG!!! I'm definitely trying this! I really hated having to weave in my ends when I did a lot of color changes. Probably why I avoided doing multi-colored blankets but not anymore!!! This is a game changer!! Thank you!! And thank you for the scrunchie video, I've made several and plan on making more for Christmas!! ❤
This is absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE to crochet, but I HATE, HATE, HATE weaving in the ends. I'm not only going to try this method, but I will be spreading the word about this method and this video in particular to my crochet friends. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
I am very skeptical of almost all techniques on youtube since I've been crocheting for 50 years and have made every mistake possible, but I must say THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! This eliminates the "bulk" issue of leaving long ends. Thank you.
I'm new at crocheting, and have been wondering about changing yarn as well as how to hide the yarn end in such a way that it won't come loose. This looks like a great method - thank you for this tutorial! 🙂😍
What a wonderful idea!! I have been crocheting over 55 years & have never seen this! I will certainly be using this method of crocheting in my ends, from now on!!Thank you soooooo much!! God Bless!💜🤗
YAAAAAAAASSSSAAAAAAHHHHH. I'm sorry, but I'm trying to do a Plaid Panties project (Lol), and I had soooo much trouble weaving in the ends. Thank you for this video. So smartly done. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve just seen your crocheting over ends technique. What a game changer! I just wish I’d seen it before the 10 blankets I’ve crocheted. Truly amazing 👏🏼👏🏼
You are a genius 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Now with no foundation chains or weaving ends I am in a happier world 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Thank you so much for the life changing technique 😍😍😍😍😍😍
That's a fantastic tip! Will give that a whirl! Thanks for mentioning that simply crocheting over the tail isn't a good idea. The first few years I started I didn't know that. I had heard it was a great way to avoid the dreaded weaving in of ends. Then an afghan I made as a gift unraveled in the washing machine a couple years after I made it. I was mordified! Now I am so careful about making sure my ends are secure. I want to make sure nobody else relives what happened to me.
Wow! Nice to see someone else also figured this out. It’s simple and secure. I’ve been doing it for a while now. I am lazy and I agree one bright side of being lazy is also being innovative 😂
I love it. I will try it on the afghan I am finish up now. But I will continue to crochet over the other color too, so all I will have to do is weave back the other way. Thank you so much for showing us.
Oh boy!! Just finished 70 granny squares. Wish I had known this trick! I have decided to add another 3 rows to my granny square blanket knowing that I can save so much time now. And a more secure blanket.
Thanks for this tutorial! I haven't tried this method with traditional crochet, but did something similar on a Tunisian crochet entrelac blanket. I would leave tails from both the working yarn and new yarn long enough to do a full forward and reverse pass on the next row and alternate between the tails when working each loop through both passes, then pick up the new working yarn on the final return pass loop and start the next row. Both tails ended up worked securely into the stitching without adding bulk and created a nearly invisible join. 😉😀
A great tip, Robin.....why did I not know this? Definitely going to add this to my repetoire. It actually halves the weaving in, and I'm all for that, Thank you xx
love, love, love it. Thanks so much. Very helpful. Just hate weaving ends in so try not to make anything with a lot of tails. Will tackle those projects now. thanks again.
Oh My Gosh!! That is wonderful!! I will definitely be doing this from now on. Every time I see something like this, I always think, "why didn't I think of that". So simple, yet so effective. Thank you so much!
Ohh thank you so much Robin! This has come just in the knick of time for me as I'm joining my squares on my neon patchwork blanket! This is going to save me soo much time... A technique i look forward to using from now on 👏
I taught myself to crochet 50 years ago and never learned this method. I appreciate your technique and will use it from now on. Thank you so much for your video.
omg this is life changing!!!! currently a few rows into a stripy jumper when i realised... oh shit... this is gonna take hours to sew... but this is so helpful!! thank you!
I wish I had watched this month ago!!! I've just finished a big virus blanket and had to weave in all my ends. I wanted to cry! I will definitely be using this technique in future. Thank you 😁
I've always crocheted both tails completely through. I like your way of not crocheting both threads on the last loop, it lessens the bulk. I will do it your way from now on. Thanks!
Hi Robin, Thank you for sharing this tip it is absolutely a game changer and I will definitely try it. Take care and stay safe and well. God’s blessings 🙏🏼💗🧶😻🦋
Thank you so much for this video tutorial. I searched for one, because I was trying to learn this method from a foto tutorial and I couldn’t understand how it worked. Now I know 🤓 and I will surely use it on my projects. Thanks again!
That is genius and it solves a problem I was having! I was crocheting with my tail BUT I was using it for the entire stitch and using it for at least 6 stitches or so and it would be very thick stitches indeed! With your method I can still crochet it in and make it more secure without it looking like my yarn gained 50 pounds in a hurry!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I can’t wait to try it tonight on my mandala blanket I am working on!!
R U KIDDING 🎉 😃can’t believe I haven’t seen this sooner fantastic idea 😃I have done that but with only with one stitch can’t believe I didn’t think to do it with more stitches
Wowzer!! I love this tip. I really hate sewing in ends because I am always afraid it is not secure. I will definitely be using this technique in the future. Than you so very much. Sending loads of appreciation from upstate NY. Liz B ❤😊
I was sent here by Sigoni Macaroni!!! I am so glad she put this in her LCE email! This is a super way to weave in ends; especially when there are a lot of different color changes or skein changes! I absolutely am going to be making a multi color blankie now just because of this technique!! Thank you so much for making this tutorial and thank you to Sigoni for suggesting it!
Great tutorial. I use a similar method but crochet the whole stitch with the tail. It does add bulk so I will try your half stitch method. Great tip, thanks again.
Wow! I just knew there HAD to be a better way to deal with colour changes. I’ve begun avoiding projects with lots of colours. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome! I always avoid weaving in ends if I can!
Me too!!! I cheat and use self striping and variegated yarns. 😁
Omg….sewing in these ends is torturous. This is wonderful!
I’ve crocheted for 50 years and have never seen this! Genius! Definitely a game changer for me. 💜
I just recently found this video and it’s a game changer! I use this method now every time I crochet and I love it ❤️
Super! Only crocheting over the end as normal isn't secure enough for me, love it!

That’s COOL 😎! Great for striped afghans that incorporate color changes.
Definitely Kim!😃🧶

Me to
Was there ever an answer given for this?
So easy, so effective! Why nobody ever pointes this out! Your the best, thanks a lot.
😮 OMG!!! I’ve been waiting and hoping for this tip! I don’t change colors or weaving in the ends. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 🎉
I am so happy it helps Viki, it definitely makes life easier! 😃🧶
This is brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing it! I'll definitely try it. I'd like to see how you do it with single crochet.
Me too!! I’m doing a temperature blanket and would help tremendously!!
What a wonderful idea!! I have been crocheting over 55 years & have never seen this! I will certainly be using this method of crocheting in my ends, from now on!!Thank you soooooo much!! God Bless!💜🤗

This is a great way to work in your ends thanks for the tutorial.
Fabulous, absolutely divine way to camoflauge and use your ends! I love it! Bring on more tips and tricks to help your co-crocheters!!
Wow! Nice to see someone else also figured this out. It’s simple and secure. I’ve been doing it for a while now. I am lazy and I agree one bright side of being lazy is also being innovative 😂
Thanks Robin. Im in process of a multi color blanket. So now im looking forward to the next color change lol.
Thank you so much for sharing this Robin. Using this technique i can enjoy changing colours in my blankets.

I despise weaving the ends in .....LOVE your simple solution. Brilliant!!
This is a game changer! Wish I knew this 43 years ago. Thank you so much!
This is genius! I always hate how thick it is if you constantly use the tail, but using and dropping solves that! Thank you so much ❤
This is great! I would love if you would demonstrate this with SC & HDC! Sometimes I just need to see someone else do it.
As for I: see one, do one, teach one!
I just followed what she did w/first part of stitch. That’s the trick! I’ve done w/single crochet and great!
How would you do with HDC and SC, please? Anyone?
@@elainef.rogers2148 i asked she never answered also never seen her do this again
I’ve tried to do with with single crochet and can’t figure it out 😅
Oh my gosh, I've been doing it wrong for 50 years! Thanks for that excellent tip!
Nothing is ever wrong with how someone crochets or weaves in ends! Xx

Great idea for those row on row blanket patterns that you really don't want fringe on the side like a small Apache tears blanket
Oh my gosh I don't know why I missed this video, would've came in VERY handy over the years of frustration from weaving in ends lol. ❤
I feel that frustration!😅 This definitely saves time though.😃
