I do that when I need to add a new skein or when I change colors. I was always worried that it was not used by others. But if Crystal does it as well, I am good! Thank you for this tutorial!
Thank you for this great tutorial! I’m getting back into crochet and have tried several TH-cam crocheters’ methods that don’t use knots, only to have my work come undone/unravel. 😢 I am going back to knots! 💪🏼 Thank you! 🙏🏼
Thats how I've always done it and will continue to do so. I've tried other ways but this way, our beloved knots, give us the security knowing our project WILL KNOT come undone. ;-)
I wholeheartedly agree that the way that works for you is the right way. I love that there are multiple methods out there in the works of crochet. That’s because there is no standard curriculum. Those of us who were lucky learned from a real human. And all of us learned different ways.
My mom taught me how to crochet (she's gone now), and that's how she showed me how to move from ball to ball 🙂. When changing colors at the end of a row I do it how you do in the middle of the row 🧶.
I did the knot/weave in method the way my grandmother taught me when I was 8, until I found the magic knot, but, being a crocheter for 60 years, old habits die hard. Now I do the magic knot but I can't bring myself to cut it so close, I'm afraid it will come undone! I feel the magic knot is smaller than a traditional knot, I use it and weave in the ends zig zag style.. my stitches are never coming undone lol. I change yarn the way you do it in the middle of a row, but I do that at the end also, then make one knot and weave in. I love your videos Crystal, I tell all my friends to watch you when they want to learn new stitches, they thank me for sending me to you. :)
You are an angel, you knotty crocheter! I have been a knotty crocheter all of my life too. I have never had a knot come apart even though everything I have ever made was made with 4 wt. acrylic yarn and things have been washed and dried many many times. I always love watching you. You are the Crochet Angel. God bless you.
"Right"or "wrong". I think that is genius. I just started crocheting in Jan and learned all except a starting chain from many pod casters on TH-cam. Thanks for teaching me new tricks. You are amazing!
That's how I learned (or taught myself) to do it. I try now to do it in a more "proper" way, but still will occasionally just knot it and go. I think a knot makes it more secure and if you can hide it beneath a stitch, who's gonna know?? I say DO YOU....whatever that might be and if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
That is the best join I've seen. I've tried all sorts of joining the invisible join and they are time consuming. Now I'm a knotty crocheter. Thank you Crystal. This is going to save lots of time😁😁😁😁😁
Depends on the weight of yarn. I use knots for lighter weights because they’re not noticeable but for bulky or chunky I Russian join cuz the knots are just too big and noticeable.
I have been crocheting since I was 6. I am now 53. I was taught the exact same way by my mother, and I also clip my yarn off at the end of the row. Gotta love the "you are doing it wrong" crowd . I have NEVER had anything unravel.
I'm a knitter and I knot when changing color at the end of a row and weave in the ends. Mid row change, I do the magic knot. I just learned that last year and I love it!
I’ve heard in crochet that there is no right way or wrong way. I learned to crochet many years ago and change colors like you. I’ve tried some of the more current ways but always go back to the way I learned.
Hi Crystal, I was taught at a very young age never to knot in knitting or crochet, I was taught to loop the new yarn around the old use and keep crocheting. It is called the fast yarn join. I’ve never had an item come apart. Love your channel.
Amen to everyone who knots!! Crystal, at times I knot as you just demonstrat; simple, easy, tho’ I still prefer to weave in my tails. Sometimes I use the invisible knot as shown on Bela Coca’s channel. Years ago, I learned the hard way about knots when the first sweater I ever made started falling apart after a few times in the wash because I followed. the pattern instructions to crochet over the ends. It was was hopeless to fix. Today, today, some 40 years later, it serves my mama kitty very well - in spite of all the hanging yarn strings. By the way, the Red ❤️ yarn I used is just as bright, softer than ever yet very pilled and snagged from padding cat paws.
I’ve tried knotting but always displease with how my work looked. OMG Crystal this has changed my life! The difference you taught me is letting the tails fall behind. The knot winds up totally hidden. Amazing!!
I used to to it the way you do but Cate at Bitchin Stitches just taught me a new method and I like it, so that's what I'm using now. I think she called it a weavers knot.
I use knots because I’m always afraid of it coming undone. I use knots the same way you do except I don’t make loose knots. I make tight knots and don’t take them out. Lol
I do this as well, it is how I was taught and have always done it. Never knew there was a different way to do them until doing research, and even though there are new ways, I still prefer this method, that way I know that knot will be there and will "knot" come undone... Thanks for sharing this tutorial Christal, it is greatly appreciated!
I’m glad to see someone as great a crocheter as you does knots too! I’ve been told I shouldn’t do that but I feel like it works well too! As long as we can tie them and hide them 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🧶🧶🥰🥰🥰
It is so refreshing to see a video tutorial with a normal person who ties knots. That is how I've always changed colours and new yarns. Thank you for saying tying knots is OK and thank you for being you. I love your tutorials. I've even started buying your patterns that I particularly like from the etsy site. 😍😍Xx
I'm a knotty crocheter all the way around. I tie off at the end of the row, too! 😉 I've also done it this way since I was a kid, too! My Mamaw taught me.
Yup, mostly self taught. I do use this way. In single crochet, I hide the one strand form the two on one row then the next row I finish hiding the last strand.
I do exactly the same way as you. Always have , and I'll be 73 this month , I've been crocheting sense I was around 21 a friend I met in Germany taught me to crochet, even tho my grandmother did a lot of crocheting she never taught anyone that I know of. I even taught my mom.
I’ve crocheted since I was very young and changing colors or adding new yarn to my project till this day is still so intimidating to me. Thank you so much Crystal I’m going to try using a knot today. God willing I will join correctly. Thank you again so much. Your Knotty method looks so easy. Have a great day.
Adding another ball: Surgeon's knot, most of the time, and i try to crochet over it too, if possible. Changing colors in the middle: same as you showed here. Changing colors at an end: I'm a knotty girl too!
You are the most famous crocheter I know of.... everyone follows you and makes your patterns! "You do you!" Thanks so much for sharing all your knowledge with us!! 👍🙏✌🖖🧶 Sometimes I do the Russian join, but I like to knot and bury the tails too!
I do the exact same way you do Crystal. I am 54 and I have been doing it this way since I first learnt to knit at 5 and self taught crochet at 12. There is no right and wrong. You do it the way you most feel comfortable ♥️💐
Yes I do and so do the people that we buy yarn from, like brands at Hobby Lobby, and Walmart. I like that you show all the ways, and yes I do just like You 😊 Thanks 🙏
Thanks so much for this video, Crystal! I’ve always added a new cake at the beginning of a row but this makes so much more sense and less wasteful, too. You are a joy for sharing your vast knowledge with us. ☺️❤️
Crystal, this is how I change colors and start new colors. My Mom taught me to crochet when I was young and this is how she did it also. If people want to say it's wrong, I just say it's their opinion and everyone has their own way. 💜🥰
I'm a knotty crocheter too! Yah, I knot all the time. I do it the same as you did at the end then pick up the yarn in the next row, I started doing that after repairing so many of my mom's crochet items. She would never knot and never left long enough tails.
I have always done it that way too! I also have told when someone saw me do it that it wasn't right. However, it's the easiest and most seamless way to me. Same with the color switch. So glad to see you do this. 🤗
Oh wow, I'm glad you did this video. I'm new to crocheting, working on making one of your shawl patterns and pretty close to ending the first skein and wasn't sure how to add a new one. Now I know. Thank you, Crystal!!
I just taught myself to crochet during the pandemic and I laid the yarn in because that’s what directions said. Now I will be a knotty crocheted as well
I am a knotty crocheter and have always done mine this same way. I feel it's better to have a small knot worked in than to run the risk of my project unraveling. I also knot my color changes. 🙂 I agree with you...if it works for you and looks fine, then it's not wrong. Thank you for sharing your methods with us.
Thank you, been doing knots for to connect yarn for 46 years. Had no idea there was even a right or wrong way to add yarn or to change colors. Taught myself to crochet late in life (21, which is only “late in life” for an activity that most people seem to learn as children 😊.) i’m definitely a “knotty crocheted.”
Yeah this is how I've been doing since I was a kid. Thank you for this tutorial... always had this on my mind if my way was ever correct ... glad you follow the same. Have a great weekend Crystal.
OMG! Love that you use the knots. I do the exact same thing you do. I was self taught so made it up as I went. Lol Honestly it make the pieces not come unraveled. Thanks for sharing Crystal! Nice to know I have a kindred crochet sister.
Lady you are an amazing person. Just started crocheting and I've been afraid of running out and color change. Now I shall do it this way!!!!!!! Tytytytytyty
I use knots all the time. The way I do it is a lot more time-consuming. I won't use my way again it's going to be your way from now on! Thank you for including that in your video. Stay well, be safe, love from Texas.
Hi, Love this video! I use knots every time I need to join or change. It is my work and I can do it my way, it is my original. So is yours and you are very successful with it. Do things your way, it works and we love your way. Thank you for showing us! :-)
Thank you Chrystal, I do similar knot , however, your leaving longer tails makes for a neater finish, rather than later trying to weave in. Thank You again! Blessings and hugs for all your sharing!
I always do it like that easy and solid ,I'm glad I'm not the only one THANK YOU SO MUCH CRYSTAL ,LOVE YOUR WORK ,AND I LIKE THAT YOU ARE SO DOWN TO EARTH
Thank you so much for showing how you join new yarn. I do something very similar, but I never thought about leaving the tails and crocheting them in. That is such a wonderful way to do it. I am going to try that the next project that uses more than 1 ball of yarn. Thank you again.
I use knots. I am a self taught and no one told me different. Besides sc and dc were the only stitches I new till I found you. Now I do bobbles, shells, and any other stitch you do on your channel. Wish I found you when I was young not 77.
You are so righ. There is more ways than one to tie on and keep going and no one way is better than the other, it's always what works best and easiest for each person. Since I have been watching so many utubers I have learned lots of ways of doing things..and I have had fun doing it..thanks for sharing your way. I was taught to tie off and slip stitch on with a new skin or color. Since learning all kinds of new ways it depends on what I am doing as to how I tie off.
Yes yes yes I do it exactly like you I'm a Nutter In every place you showed today just like you I thought I was an oddball now I feel like I'm a real crocheter. Thank you Crystal you're awesome

Dear Crystal, this is exactly how I do it all the time. Whether it’s right or wrong doesn’t matter, it’s what each person is comfortable with ❤️🌹🦋🌹❤️
You and your knots are wonderful!! You just ignore those pointy finger people!!
I also make knots with color change but I don’t untie it before sewing it in.
Me either just weave the ends in and move along.
My great grandmother taught me to crochet nearly 50 years ago! She taught me to be knotty! Hurray for knotty yarny peeps!!
Thanks Crystal!!!
I do that when I need to add a new skein or when I change colors. I was always worried that it was not used by others. But if Crystal does it as well, I am good! Thank you for this tutorial!

I'm a "knotty" crocheted too. That way I know the new yarn that I added will not ever pull out!
I learned a lot how to crochet from you so yea I'm a happy knotter 🙂
I've been using the magic knot thank you for showing me an additional way to add or change colors
I'm so happy to see this, this is what I've been doing. I tried some of the invisible ways and the yarn came undone. So cheers to knots 😊
Way to go Crystal!! That's the way I've done it for years. Not wrong if it works for you.
I so agree!!! What ever works is the best way!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Your Awesome!!!
Crystal that is exactly 💯 how I join yarns. There seem to be hundreds of different opinions but what works for me is the right way . 🦋⚘
I use knots as well. After all that hard work I don’t want it coming apart! I do my knot differently but hey it’s a knot. 😁
You are an angel, you knotty crocheter! I have been a knotty crocheter all of my life too. I have never had a knot come apart even though everything I have ever made was made with 4 wt. acrylic yarn and things have been washed and dried many many times. I always love watching you.

"Right"or "wrong". I think that is genius. I just started crocheting in Jan and learned all except a starting chain from many pod casters on TH-cam. Thanks for teaching me new tricks. You are amazing!
I do the same... I could care less what people think do your thing Crystal You're awesome
☺👏
I agree with you, if you use it, it's correct! Almost everyone had a favorite technique and none of them is wrong.
That's how I learned (or taught myself) to do it. I try now to do it in a more "proper" way, but still will occasionally just knot it and go. I think a knot makes it more secure and if you can hide it beneath a stitch, who's gonna know?? I say DO YOU....whatever that might be and if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Depends on the weight of yarn. I use knots for lighter weights because they’re not noticeable but for bulky or chunky I Russian join cuz the knots are just too big and noticeable.
I've seen people do the Russian join and it looks so prefect; too perfect for me to accomplish though...maybe if I find a good left handed tutorial.
I have been crocheting since I was 6. I am now 53. I was taught the exact same way by my mother, and I also clip my yarn off at the end of the row. Gotta love the "you are doing it wrong" crowd . I have NEVER had anything unravel.

I agree to each their own, whatever works for them is the right way, as for me, I do them exactly like you do it!
It's cool that you showed us how you knot. Never know, one may like doing it your way better. Thank you.
I like your knot a lot better than my knot. I'm using this method from now on. Thanks again, Crystal!

I use the magic knot to swap yarn in the middle of a row or at the end. Thank you for sharing Crystal!! 🐰🐰
I'm a knotty crocheter all the way around. I tie off at the end of the row, too! 😉 I've also done it this way since I was a kid, too! My Mamaw taught me.
I agree Crystal, "perfect". I always join by knots and have never had any problems. Thank you for showing this.
Yup, mostly self taught. I do use this way. In single crochet, I hide the one strand form the two on one row then the next row I finish hiding the last strand.

2 to 5 a week

@@BAGODAYCROCHET thanks for responding and not being a "Karen"
That's how I was taught. I also thought it wasn't the correct way but now I feel better knowing it's okay. Thank you Crystal.
I use a knot very similar to that and crochet my ends in. I dont feel safe without a knot.
I do the exact same way you do Crystal. I am 54 and I have been doing it this way since I first learnt to knit at 5 and self taught crochet at 12. There is no right and wrong. You do it the way you most feel comfortable ♥️💐
