How to Tie Off a Crochet Project Without Unraveling

If you're wondering how to end crochet so that your stitches stay put, here are a few extra tips:

  • Use a Knot for Extra Security: After pulling through your final loop, you can tie a small knot before weaving in the ends for extra hold.
  • Work in the Same Color: When weaving in yarn tails, stay within stitches of the same color to keep your work seamless.
  • Split the Yarn for Strength: If you're working with thicker yarn, consider separating the strands and weaving them in different directions for added durability.
