Changing Yarn Colours at the end of a row

Crochet Basics
In this video tutorial I show you how to change colours at the end of a row, with no tail ends to work away, using the Magic Knot.

I just tried this trick, and I'm near tears at how easy it is! No more loose ends! No more weaving 100 ends in! Thank you so much for this tip!

Thank you for showing this. So many people on youtube show the magic knot, but they don't show how to change colors so that the old color does not intrude on the next row. Now I can actually try this and see if it works!!

Omg this is the best tutorial I've found for changing colors I swear. I've been trying so hard to do this and becoming so stressed out because of it. Thanks you!!

[erby]

Thank you so much for this. I have crocheted for years and never knew about this knot!

[stacietyson]

Okay, I'm just going to say it. This has, quite literally, completely changed my life, lol. Thank you!!

[zebnuri]

I just love this! I've hunted & hunted how to change colours at the precise spot & finally got it. Thanks so much.

Thank u so much for such a clear explanation 😭😭😭😭😭 I've been desperate cuz I want to make a Slytherin scarf for my sister's birthday but my dumbass couldn't do the color changing right. Now I know magic ✨

Love this! Saves hours of sewing in tails...also saves wasted yarn. Thank you so much for the tutorial 💕💕💕

Where has this been all my life???!!!! This has literally changed my life!! I am a drama queen it’s true...but this has brought the joy of crochet back to me because I no longer DREAD the end of a project. I hated weaving ends in more than anything. A thousand thank you’s! 👍🏽🙏😍

Your method is phenomenal. I am about to start a Temperature Blanket using the Moss/Linen stitch with a colour change on every row, and your method works for that stitch as well, on a swatch I have done. Crochet life changing! 🎉 Thank you so much.

I really appreciate you taking the time to show exactly how to make the turns for the knots - when to go over and when to go under. Other videos I have seen on this technique have rushed through that technique, and I have ended up with knots that come apart.

[petamoore]

Thank you so much! While I had mastered the magic knot when joining the same colour, I had no idea how to use it when changing colours at the end of the row. - the knots always ended up in the wrong place. This has changed my life lol

[PeskyPixie]

Thank you. I am familiar with this magic knot but never knew how to actually use it into changing colors at the end of a row. People have been raging about it and now I know :)

[carmendriggs]

OMG, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ve been avoiding stripes and/or too many color changes due to those darn ends to sew in but now, alas....no more ends. Thank you so very much for this video....

[christineyoungs]

What a great tutorial! I watch this everytime I pick up a crochet project and need to refresh my memory on how to do this. And love your accent!

[purplemoon]

Fabulous, just what I see looking for and so well explained! A big thank you ❤.

[amandasmith]

This is what I needed to My C2C kept unraveling where I changed colors because regular knots are just not right for the.situation So I've been online looking up magic knots, and square knots, and Russian joins, and a million ways of crocheting in new yarn without using a knot. So many methods of joining, but I had no idea what I needed for my situation. This is it! Thank you so much for showing the knot and the context. Huge help, thank you, thank you.

Thank you, crystalsandcrochet, for this informative and easy-to-follow tutorial. I tried it and it works. I recommend this video to anyone looking for a neater way to change colors when crocheting. Whenever I change colors, I go back to this video at 2:45 to make sure I am making the magic knot correctly. Thank you again!

[joelkitchen]

Thank you for this! I’ve recently started crocheting and have picked up on it fairly quickly, however changing my colors and weaving in the ends was a bit stressful and this makes it so much easier and cleaner. So, again, thank you very much for the easy to understand and thorough tutorial!

Hello I just came upon your video about changing colors, and though I knew about the magic knot, I always had trouble getting the join in the correct position. THANK YOU. so much for your knowledge. The one inch tail of the old color is perfect and has worked every time for me. 😊
