How do you join yarn without a knot?
‘Double Up’ Join You basically crochet a stitch or two with both your old and new yarns, then drop the old yarn and continue with just the new yarn. It’s very secure and quick.
How do you knit a closed seam?
When you’ve seamed the length of the knitting, gently pull the yarn from the top and bottom to close up the seam. Pull until the two pieces touch and the seam looks tight and even. Sew a few stitches between piece A and B to close up the edge of the seam. Then, weave in the yarn ends.
What is a magic ball of yarn?
A Magic Ball in knitting/crochet is a ball or cake of yarn that is actually made up of several smaller skeins (usually leftovers, mini-skeins or samples). These yarns can be high-contrast, low-contrast, matchy-matchy, completely random, whatever your heart desires!
How do you join yarns when knitting?
(Of course if I am knitting stripes I will join yarn at the very beginning of the row) Grab the tail end of the old ball of yarn and the new yarn and wrap both yarns around the right needle and just knit it. Knit the next stitch the same way using both yarns. Don’t worry if the stitches get loose, it’ll be okay.
How do you knit with two different yarns in one ball?
Overlap the two threads so that the tails are going in opposite directions. Knit three or four stitches with both yarns held together, leaving a tail of a few inches on each ball. Then drop the old yarn and continue knitting with the new yarn.
How do you replace a broken ball of yarn in knitting?
Grab the tail end of the old ball of yarn and the new yarn and wrap both yarns around the right needle and just knit it. Knit the next stitch the same way using both yarns. Don’t worry if the stitches get loose, it’ll be okay. And you can fix it a bit in a minute.
How can I Make my knitting less bulky?
Knit three or four stitches with both yarns held together, leaving a tail of a few inches on each ball. Then drop the old yarn and continue knitting with the new yarn. Once you’ve knit a couple of rows after the join, gently tug the work to even out the tension a bit. This will make those stitches knit with two strands look less bulky.
