How to Tie Off Crochet Step by Step:Â
Step 1: Complete the Final Stitch
Finish the last stitch of your pattern, leaving a 6-inch yarn tail before cutting to secure and weave in later.
Step 2: Fasten Off Securely
Pull the working yarn through the loop on your hook and gently tighten the knot to secure the last stitch and prevent unraveling.
Step 3: Weave or Sew the Tail
Weave the yarn tail into stitches for seamless projects, or use it to sew pieces together if assembly is needed, then hide any remaining ends.
Okey Dokeys Tip: Keep it Neat!
When fastening off, make sure to pull the yarn tight but not too tight. You want your last stitch to be secure without puckering your work. And when weaving in the ends, try to match the direction of your stitches to keep things looking clean and polished when you tie off crochet projects or amigurumis.Â
At Okey Dokeys, we know that finishing a project is just as satisfying as starting one. Fastening off is a quick and simple step, but it ensures that your crochet fasten off creations last!
