Weaving in the tails is a fundamental part of every knitting project. In this video, I'm going to show you 10 different methods for different knitting stitch patterns and materials. Some of them require no tapestry needle at all, while some of them do. Here are the 10 methods of weaving in ends I am showing you in this video:
#1: Knit in the ends. Use the cast-on tail and knit the first row (or a couple of stitches) with two strands held together
#2: Hide the ends in the seam. If you are knitting a seamed project, then the best way to hide the tails is in the seam itself by going through it a couple of times with your tapestry needle.
#3 Learn a proper joining method. Use the Russian join or the felted join to start a new ball without any visible transition
#4 Weave in on the fly. If you join a new yarn, you can also weave the tail in with every stitch you do by creating floats on the backside
#5 Stockinette stitch: Go through the purp bumps diagonally in two directions and hide the ends on the wrong side. Make sure you go right through the yarn
#6 Ribbing: For ribbing, you have to follow a rib in two directions with your tapestry needle
#7 Garter stitch: In garter stitch, you have to go horizontally in between two ribs going right through the legs of the knit stitch and weave in the tail there
#8 Colorwork: Weaving in tails in intarsia, fair isle, etc, works the same as with stockinette stitch. Make sure that you only weave in the ends in the corresponding color block and that you learn a proper joining method
#9 Lace: FOr lace you can either hide the tails in larger sections of stockinette stitch or use duplicate stitch and trace the path of your knitting
#10 Cotton: Weaving in tails in cotton yarn is very difficult as the materials is very slippery. Here you have to weave in a couple of stitches like normal, split the tail, then tie a knot, and then continue weaving in (repeat a couple of times.
