hey gang Jane back today with a crochet
0:02
technique tutorial today we're working
0:04
in our ends as we go and I'm going to
0:06
show you how to work them in securely so
0:09
they don't fall out there was a time
0:11
that I used to leave all my ends and
0:13
darn them in at the end after I had
0:15
completed all my squares but as you all
0:17
will probably agree that is such a big
0:20
and daunting task when all you want to
0:21
do is join your squares and be done and
0:24
when I looked at my squares from the
0:25
front I'd be pleased but turn them over
0:28
well they just make me Ang I so I
0:30
started to create a habit of working my
0:32
ends in as I crocheted so that when I
0:34
finished the square the square looked as
0:36
good on the back side as it did on the
0:38
front side hey if you haven't already be

0:51
people to get creative this video is the
0:54
first in a series where I'm going to
0:55
show you how to work in your ends over
0:57
various Stitch types today's tutorial
0:59
will will be focusing on single crochet
1:01
solid stitches and single crochet with a
1:04
chain stitch in between those are always
1:06
tricky because you don't want to see
1:08
that end in that chain stitch Gap
1:10
because then it interferes with that
1:12
nice lazy effect I'll be showing you how
1:14
to hide your cut ends in your work and
1:16
also how to secure them so they just
1:19
don't slip back out after a little wash
1:21
and wear of your project in fact they're
1:23
so secure that when I try to rip out a
1:25
square I have trouble doing it so grab
1:27
yourself a square any square that you
1:29
can work a single crochet border onto
1:32
and let's get working on working in our
1:34
ends so first we'll start with the
1:37
standard way that most people use and
1:39
then I'll get into how I secure the ends
1:41
so that they won't slip out I'm going to
1:43
do a single crochet across this nice
1:45
solid Stitch square that I have this is
1:47
my easy breezy square and I'm going to
1:49
use a contrasting color so you can see
1:51
what I'm doing the first thing you want
1:52
to do is join a single crochet and I'll
1:55
join it in the corner space here join it
1:58
any way you want I like to a standing
2:00
single crochet so we'll do that I wrap
2:03
my yarn around the hook and then I
2:05
insert it into the space I make sure the
2:10
cut end is over the hook so it gets
2:12
worked in and then I complete my single
2:16
crochet now that we have our single
2:18
crochet joined what you normally see
2:21
people do is work over top of this yarn
2:24
all the way across so we'll just do a
2:25
few stitches to demonstrate that so
2:27
normally you would work your single
2:29
crochets and you would make sure that
2:31
the end is worked in so when you put
2:35
your hook into the Stitch it goes under
2:37
the cut yarn as well and then you
2:40
complete your
2:42
Stitch and this gets worked in so it's
2:46
worked right into the center and you
2:48
can't see it on the front or the
2:52
back let's work a few more stitches of
2:55
that just so you can see what I'm going
2:56
to explain here so I worked it in six
3:00
stitches well actually five because you
3:02
didn't have it in the first one but
3:03
there isn't anything holding it in there
3:06
other than these stitches so let me take
3:08
my hook out if it were to pull something
3:12
were to snag it like my cat's claw and
3:16
it pulls it out like this and I had this
3:19
cut right here there's nothing holding
3:22
it in there and it could just go like
3:25
this right
3:27
out there was nothing holding it in
3:29
there
3:30
that is a problem when you work over
3:32
your ends and that's all you do so I do
3:35
use this method of working over your
3:36
ends so the piece is hidden in the
3:38
middle however I add an extra trick to
3:41
make it more secure so it won't pull out
3:43
if it gets snagged so let me show you
3:45
now how I do that so here we are back at
3:47
the first single crochet I want to show
3:50
you how I secure this end so it can't
3:52
pull out I start after my first single
3:55
crochet I take the cut end and I Loop it
3:59
all the way around my working yarn and
4:02
back up to the front so there's one full
4:06
twist going on
4:10
here and then I'm going to work my next
4:13
Stitch so with it completely wrapped
4:16
around just like this I'm going to work
4:18
into my next single crochet work under
4:21
the cut end and complete the
4:25
Stitch so it's completely looped around
4:27
this Stitch and that's like a knot
4:29
without really having a
4:32
knot I'm going to do the next Stitch
4:35
without wrapping it around I'm just
4:37
going to work over
4:39
it so it disappears into your work and
4:43
I'm going to do one more of those just
4:46
regular working over it disappears into
4:48
the work let's go one more time so every
4:51
three stitches I take the cut end and I
4:54
spin it all the way around my working
4:58
yarn and then I work in and over top of
5:02
the cut end
5:04
again so that gives me that little bit
5:07
of security there so I go about every
5:10
three stitches and I do that while I'm
5:13
working over it three stitches in I wrap
5:17
it around my working yarn again go under
5:23
and complete your single crochet I'm
5:25
going to do one more and then we're
5:27
going to take a look at the back so
5:28
looking at the back of our work you
5:30
can't see the cut end cuz we've worked
5:31
it down the center of these stitches but
5:34
I have looped it every third Stitch let
5:38
me go in and see if I can find it here
5:40
there it is and if I give it a little
5:43
snug let's say my kitty cat snagged her
5:46
little Claw on that and now you see it's
5:49
sticking out like that now what would
5:51
happen if I pulled on
5:54
that okay so let's see where this is
5:56
where a cut end is let's give it a
5:58
little tug
6:01
nothing it doesn't fall right out
6:04
because I have it nicely looped in and
6:07
if I give it a little bit of a smoothing
6:09
over it goes right back in see you can't
6:12
see it so that is how I like to weave my
6:15
ends in as I go I don't just work them
6:17
down the center every third Stitch I
6:19
give it a loop around the working yarn
6:22
and it secures it nicely in there so if
6:25
I was doing a single crochet chain one
6:27
it works a little bit different
6:30
I have my first single crochet and I
6:32
want to do my first chain if I were to
6:34
do the
6:35
chain and work another single crochet
6:38
which I usually skip a stitch for this
6:40
right work the next single crochet over
6:43
top of my working yarn what I end up
6:47
with is this little piece right here
6:49
showing through and those can snag and
6:52
pull right out so how do I work that go
6:56
back to my single crochet so we're back
6:59
to just our first single crochet now I
7:01
want a chain one so I take my cut yarn
7:04
and I throw it up and over the working
7:08
yarn then I chain
7:11
one now I take my cut end and I bring it
7:15
back down across my working
7:18
yarn I skip that next Stitch and I
7:21
single crochet over top of the cut
7:25
end and now you can see it's not in
7:29
there it's actually worked up into the
7:31
Stitch and back down so if you take a
7:33
look here the space is nice and clear
7:36
and the cut yarn is up and into this
7:39
hidden nicely on both the front and the
7:44
back let's do it again you want to chain
7:48
one so you take your cut end and throw
7:50
it up over top of this
7:53
yarn chain one and then bring it back
7:57
down across your working yarn
8:00
skip your Stitch work into the next
8:03
Stitch and work it into that Stitch so
8:06
you're going to work that cut end into
8:10
the center of that
8:12
Stitch and there we go again we have two
8:15
chain ones and no cut end showing there
8:18
there's no cut end showing on the front
8:21
or the back so there you can see it only
8:23
CU I haven't pulled it tight yet but
8:24
it's not there now just like the single
8:27
crochet solids you can do a wrap
8:31
around here if you want to all the way
8:36
around to the front again do a chain
8:41
one and work into the next
8:51
one so it's actually knotted up in there
8:55
this time and then again bring it back
8:58
up to the top chain one bring it back
9:01
down to the bottom skip a stitch and
9:05
single
9:07
crochet so it's this is the Stitch that
9:10
wrapped
9:11
around in and it's in the middle of the
9:14
stitches so you can't see it and then we
9:17
went ahead and did it normal where we
9:18
just tossed it up across the yarn did a
9:22
chain one and brought it back down
9:25
across the working yarn right there
9:30
skipped our Stitch and worked into our
9:32
next one now you don't have to do the
9:33
full wrap part on this one if you don't
9:36
want to because the weaving into the
9:38
chain one already gives it a little more
9:40
security than the regular method does
9:42
but if you want to it just gives you
9:44
that extra level of safety knowing that
9:46
your end won't slip out now let's take a
9:49
look at this here's your
9:52
front and here's your back let's go in
9:54
and actually find where that yarn is
9:56
which I have to admit it's pretty tricky
9:59
I think that's it right there if it's
10:03
snagged yeah cuz that comes out that's
10:05
got to be it and it doesn't even want to
10:08
stay snagged if it's snagged like
10:12
that and you're like oh it's going to
10:14
pull out the
10:16
end I can't I can't pull it out I can
10:19
get some snaggy going on there but I
10:21
can't get it out see it's
10:23
here and even pulling on that doesn't
10:26
pull my snag back in but pulling on the
10:28
work itself self will pull the snag back
10:30
in it's so worked into your stitches
10:33
that it's become part of your stitches
10:35
that is how I weave them in so that they
10:38
are in there and they are secure and
10:40
I've done it while I've been working the
10:42
square so I don't have to darn them in
10:44
later now you know how to work those
10:46
ends in with a regular single crochet
10:48
stitch and a single crochet with a chain
10:50
stitch there's many more stitches to
10:52
come so next time we're going to try a
10:54
different Stitch check out the links in
