With 78 comments Tutorial: Tie It Off and Hide Your Tails | CrochetHappy I can hear you all now .. Do we Really need a tutorial for how to Tie Off our projects!? Yeah .. maybe. Cause I know how to make it Invisible. I’ve got a picture of the standard cut and tie off to go here .. but my camera just told me that its battery is dead so I will have to add this soon as I get it charged. See the knot? Now Hide Your Tail. I can fix that :D Complete your Final Stitch. Look at your Perfect Edge! Can you see any knots? Toss the piece in the air and let it fall will-nilly. Now Hide Your Tail! Weave in the ends .. No, I don’t have a magic solution or technique to make this ‘go away’. You’re going to either thread a large needle and weave the end /tail between your crochet stitches, thus hiding your tail. My tips for Effective Tucking of Tail? Never hide a Straight Tail. Any hook, that is smaller than the size you worked your project with, will slide through the stitches better for hiding tails. Pattern w/Every Post Weldons Fascinator by Robin Abdullah Like this:

A Beginner's Guide to Interlock Crochet If you are ready for a challenging crochet project, then this is it! I am a quick learner who loves a challenge! Rarely do I find a project or technique that makes me feel like giving up. What is Interlocking Crochet? Interlocking Crochet is a method of crocheting two layers of filet-style mesh sheets in such a way that the two layers are woven together to create a single, reversible fabric. 5 Things You Need to Know Before You Begin Pick contrasting colors to make the design pop. Each row of the pattern has a Row1A and Row1B. Color A is always crocheted into Color A. Check and match the gauge provided! Special Stitches for this Technique Chain (ch) Double-Crochet (dc) Double-Crochet in Front (dcif) Double-Crochet in Back (dcib) With Yarn B in Front (WYIF) -- only used at the start of each row. With Yarn B in Back (WYIB) -- only used at the start of each row. Every interlock crochet project begins by having you crochet two mesh pieces with one piece being slightly shorter than the other.

the ultimate finish for amigurumi Would you prefer to see the video tutorial demonstrating this method? If not, read on: I’ve written before about how there are several ways you can finish off a closed piece in amigurumi, and there’s no one ‘best’ method for closing that remaining hole to give the neatest finish. Since I wrote that post, I’ve been doing more experimenting, and I think I’ve finally found the definitive method to give the best possible finish to a closed piece in amigurumi. Where’s the hole? (Of course, to get the best finish, you’ll also want to use the Invisible Decrease instead of sc2tog for all your decreases – but that goes without saying, right?) Ultimate Finish for Amigurumi The almost-finished stuffed piece, with 6 sc remaining: Cut the yarn, leaving a long yarn end. You’ll be using the front loops only for the next stage; those are the loops that are furthest from the hole: Finally, snip the end close to the surface, and the cut end will retract back inside the piece.
