Finishing Off

When you have made it to the end of your project or just the end of a section and you need to tie up your ends, here is the way that I finish off.

First, chain two.

Then, make the loop a little bit larger (for weaving in) and cut the loop.

Then, pull the working yarn out.

You're left with a loop with the yarn pulled through it.

Grab the end, and pull.

Tightly.

Now you are ready to weave that end into the work.  Use a crochet hook that is a few sizes smaller than they one you made the piece with.  Put the hook behind and/or under the various loops on the piece and pull the loose ends to hide them.  Cut off any remainders, once you have it under a few stitches.

OR, if you are working with something that you will add another color to, you can just make sure the loose end goes under the new stitches as you go.

(There are other ways to do this, but I like this one the best.)
