I love using the magic knot. It's my favorite.
That makes sense! I’ve used that knot for changing balls of yarn but every time I have to find a video and try a bunch of times to get it right 😂 Maybe using it so often would allow me to finally memorize how to do it! Thanks for sharing such a great idea!
Practice make perfect...once you have it....whalla
Oh good, I already do this on all yarn changes 😄 but strangely enough, I've never thought about using this technique for granny squares 🤔 you're right though: I don't do granny squares at all because of the color changes. I am way too lazy and actually go for crochet patterns where you don't have to join or change colors at all. Thanks for bringing this up! I will try the granny square project I've always liked but never actually started haha😂
I LOVE this!! I love making granny square projects but hate weaving ends. Game changer!
Love, love, LOVE this! I’m in the middle of a 2 color “Cat Stitch” pillow cover. This just saved me weaving in the rest of the ends. By the way, it’s a yarn saver too. It doesn’t take nearly as much yarn to accomplish this change over as it does to leave a decent tail end for weaving, half of which you cut off anyway. Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
Hide your beginning end in your work as u crochet! Then all u have left is the ending tail at the end of the granny square.
I use the magic knot from you all the time and never thought about using it in the color change granny!!! 🤯
Me neither. Game changer. ❤
It's called a reef knot, I learned this in the brownies 60 years ago. If you follow "left yarn over right yarn and under, right yarn over left yarn and under" you can't go wrong.
Sorry, this is a fisherman’s knot, the reef knot is different.
@@ruthdaisy1036 Hi I'm afraid your wrong this is a reef knot check it out, and fishermen do use this knot as do scouts and brownies.
Surgeons also use this knot.❤
Oh my Gosh! Thank you so much! I don’t normally leave comments but you just saved my life.😊😂 This saved me time and yarn.
Yes I love this magic knot and use it all the time. Thanks for the refresher course on where to cut, I often get that wrong.
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best thing I've seen today. Thank you so much!
👍 I'm doing that same method and it's best way to change the yarn. The magic knot is my favorite 👍
And it's very important to cut the yarn on the right place. Otherwise it doesn't work well.
Fantastic technique! 🎉
I normally dont cut, i just draw up. But this is a very cool technique!
Love your videos, so easy to follow. Thank you!
I love the magic knot but never thought to use it for a granny square!!
I love the magic knot and use it absolutely any time I can. 😊
Okay so I love you that is all. Thank you. I am definitely going to do this going forward.
😄
Hmmmm, I really like not having to weave in all those ends. But what about the “granny lean?” You’d be starting the new color in the same corner each time. Would blocking eliminate the lean? t.i.a.
I’m making a granny square blanket and realized how many I will need. Do you know if it takes longer to do lots of regular sized squares or fewer larger squares?
Wonderful 👍 Kisses from Valencia, Spain😊
I follow you a lot of time 😘😘
This is amazing! Thanks!
I'm not getting how you're lining it up perfectly. I mean I get it pretty darn close but it has to be just right Especially if you're changing to a much lighter or darker color otherwise you have a "spot" that looks terrible. Do you know what I mean? Those knots have to be right on give or take a centimeter.
love this. really love this!!!!!!
Súper tip. Saludos desde México 🌿
Thanks for this. It's only useful if you don't mind starting each round in the same place though. Then you've got the bias issue. I suppose it's a trade off.
I haven't had a bias issue using this. I thought I would but I didn't. ❤
I love the magic knot
I’ve been doing this for years. Once you get the hang of the magic knot,you’ll find it’s so much easier than weaving in the ends.
I found that just crocheting over the end as I go works well. I don’t have to weave anything.
Wow love this thank u so much x
Although I so very much appreciate any technique that will make weaving in ends in easier , I probably wouldn't do this technique as it seems like it takes just about the same amount of time as having to weave in an end and getting that not in the right spot is a little bit difficult
Genius!
I’m going to do this with my temperature blanket. 😂
It’s great for that!
Like some other commentators here I also wonder how to find the exact point of yarn where to tie the knot so that the colour change doesn’t show at all. Do you have any extra tips for that? I tried this and the result wasn’t what I hoped for. Would be a lovely technique if it works. ❤😊
May I know what did you use for the yarn size in this video? 2ply? 3 ply? 4 ply?
I love the magic knot technique. It's so satisfying to see how seamlessly the change in color can be. Can you still start the new row in a different corner when you use magic knot?
No but I haven't noticed any bias issues with this technique. ❤
Thank you for the tip 😊
Dear Lord, this will prevent headaches during color changes!!!!!
Crochet Rocks.
May your Mom’s health be improved!
Oh my goodness! I am totally doing this!
Oh thank you ❤ I love all of your videos. There great❤❤
Just what I needed. It is even usefull when you work in one colour and want to fasten the yarn of the next skein. I always tried to place the knot in the lesser conspictuous place and never managed!!
But how well does it hold up when you wash a granny square blanket? Don’t they come undone and fall apart?
amazing
I can’t do knots! 😢 I’d stress more about the knots than about weaving in ends.
That's okay! I say do whatever works best for you!
Seen this a lot but I'd probably not be able to get the color change where it needs to be.😊
Wow that’s amazing I never thought about doing it like 👍
Hi Brittany. Great idea! Thanks for sharing. Your granny squares look absolutely beautiful! Perfection personified! Thanks for sharing!❤
usually I just crochet the ends in, so I don't have to weave them.
I use this method when I was making a complex C2C project with MANY colour changes, to avoid having to hold bobbins and carry the yarn, or cutting then weaving in hundreds of ends. I worked out a method whereby the knot is always on the wrong side of the work, and when I worked my final block, my blanket was done, save for the first and last end.
Clever ❤
Nice technique, but I don’t like the look of the knots at the back. I always weave in my ends as I crochet, just as easy and quick as the knot method.
I do this always❤
I struggle to get the knot in the right place.
I’ve seen these knots work their way out, so I do not trust them. It does make things easier, but I would hate to have a project fall apart because a knot comes undone… and I’ve seen it happen unfortunately :(
Thanks for sharing! I haven’t seen one fall out yet, but it’s great to hear other’s experiences!
Please don't take offense but are you sure you are tying this knot correctly? I've been using this knot for years and never had it come undone even when I wash the project frequently. The other name for this knot is "surgeon's knot" because this is exactly how surgeons tie off usually and I would hope they view it as secure. I have had the knot slip out when I am not careful and precise while tying it but it does so right away so I know to redo it correctly. ❤
@bhookedcrochet hi sweety have you the instructions for joining your cushion please ?
Thanks Caroline ❤️
@bhookedcrochet hi sweety have you the instructions for joining your 4 squares for your cushion please?
Thank you Caroline ❤
I wondered about this too. Also, is doing all this work REALLY a time saver? It doesn’t take much time to weave the ends in when you’ve finished the square. If you do it as soon as the piece is finished you don’t land up with hundreds and hundreds of ends to weave in all at once.
Doesnt it come undone after washing?
All the work that goes into a project, I don’t trust this method. I’d rather weave and use fabric glue and know my project will never come undone, especially if gifting or selling.
Since you use fabric glue, why not glue the knots?
It won't untie, i tried to pull it after cutting and yarn snapped and didn't untie...test it out with different types of yarn
I cannot for the life of me figure out where to tie the knots so the new color is in the correct position for the color change. I'm throwing my yarn across the room because I'm so frustrated.
PLEASE do not have those shirts as a limited edition item! 😢 I want one but I can't afford it just yet!
"I love you … and your new technique cuz you didn’t see my blanket!!!!
I’ve been doing my projects like this for years.
how can the back of a granny square get so messy. i do something completely different (too hard to describe in english) and i didnt even know this was a problem
You are brilliant!
That's what I do. I don't mind the knots.
Excellent tip! Thank you! ❤
The time taken would be equal to the time to weave it in to be honest.
👌💜💜🇬🇧
I don' t like using these knots at all. I prefer long endings to weave them
🧶😎
Too much work 🥹 I'd rather weave in/hide as you go along.
