If there’s one thing crocheters and knitters can agree on, it’s this: weaving in yarn tails is no one’s favorite task, especially when adding new yarn mid-project. In this technique class, crochet designer and author Twinkie Chan teaches four tail-free ways to join yarn invisibly: the magic knot, the weaver’s knot, the Russian join, and the braided join. These methods work best when joining the same color yarn and aren’t ideal for precise color changes in colorwork, but with a bit of practice, you can get pretty close. Each join has its own strengths, and everyone tends to find a favorite. Come discover which one works best for you.
Learn how to:
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Yarn project
- Scissors
- Tapestry or yarn needle
- Binder clip or paper clip and a piece of tape

This video was so informative! She explained each join so clearly (I didn't know to pass yarn "A" under yarn "B" when working the weaver's knot!). Gave me more confidence to try each knot.

Easy and clear instructions. All of the joins were new to me so I am excited to try them out in my knitting/crocheting projects! Thanks Twinkie..you brought a smile to my face today! Cathryn from BC Canada
