How to Weave in Ends in Knitting
When you finish a project or change colours, the loose yarn ends need to be secured. Use a tapestry needle and weave the ends into the wrong side of your knitted fabric.
- Thread the yarn end onto a tapestry needle.
- Weave the needle through several stitches on the wrong side of the work, following the direction of the stitches.
- Pull the yarn through, leaving enough flexibility so the fabric does not pucker.
- Change direction and weave the yarn back through a few stitches.
- Weave the yarn in another direction to secure it further.
- Trim the yarn close to the fabric.
- Repeat with all remaining yarn ends.
When working with ribbing or textured stitches, follow the vertical or horizontal lines of the stitches. Avoid pulling the yarn too tightly, as this can make the knitted fabric uneven.
