Very few knitters like to weave in tails. In fact, I don’t know anyone who does. It’s hard to like this tedious and often time-consuming task when you are excited to put on your new sweater or to gift the cute colourful baby blanket to the expectant family.
Unfortunately, there is no way we can avoid yarn tails, especially when we work in a colour pattern. But we can avoid the overwhelming task of weaving in lots of tails if we hide them one by one as soon as they appear.
The simple way I’ll share with you in this tutorial works well with any project knit in any stitch pattern using any knitting style – English, Continental or Eastern (Russian).
Here’s how it works.
If you use this little method to weave in tails as you work on a project, there will be only one tail to hide once the project is finished – the tail that appeared after you bound off all stitches and cut the yarn.
