Knitting Help - Weaving Ends as You Go
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- In this video I demonstrate a technique for weaving in ends as you knit along, especially effective when working stripes. This method leaves the front of the work unchanged, no double- or triple-thick stitches.
The yarn I use for demonstration is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky.
The needles I'm using are Knitter's Pride Bamboo Double Pointed Needles. (No real need to use DPNs for this technique, I'm just using them here because they're short and they work well on camera.)

This is totally the method I use for fair isle knitting. I twist my stitches this way every 2 stitches so I have ZERO puckering from carrying strands in the back. I had NEVER thought to weave in my ends this way! How excellent and what an awesome tip! Thank you!
Yes, Fair Isle twist. Thought it seemed familiar.
I was just going to ask if this would work for Fair isle.
I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now (and have been knitting for a little over a year!) and I just wanted to say that you have basically single-handedly taught me how to knit. Every time I learn something new, you without fail have a video explaining it. You explain things plainly, you get right to the point, and you’re very encouraging. So I just wanted to say thank you! And happy new year. :)
I'm a new knitter and I just have to say I'm really enjoying your videos! I'm learning so much and have saved a bunch of them to a "knitting" folder to refer back to when I need them. You're a great teacher, explaining things thoughtfully and simply with a very clear camera angle. Thanks for sharing all of your great tips!
Thank you Staci. I loved this method! I have followed your instructions ever since. Would you please teach us "purl-wise"? I believe, it would be slightly different from "knit-wise"
This is the same technique I use to carry a strand across the work when I do fair isle knitting. :) Every couple of stitches and the color gets carried across without any tangling from having long loops hanging out.
This is possibly the best method I’ve discovered so far and just in time for my first temperature blanket! Wish me luck
I love your videos Stacie. I've learned so much from you. You make the most sophisticated videos with clear and easy to understand instructions on this platform. YOU ARE THE BEST.
This is an amazing method! Especially for a person who gets to an end of a project and hates weaving in the ends! This cuts that process down to 1 or 2. Thanks Staci!!
This works an absolute treat - I've been using the double thickness stitch method but this is much better - with a bit of trial and error I've also figured out how to do it when working on the wrong side (using purl stitches) and it still works great - I reckon I could adapt this for crochet work as well - very many thanks for the tip
What do you have to do differently on purl sides
I can't believe it's been this simple all this time. Thanks for the video!
I LOVE this, it's much neater than knitting the tails in and there's no bulky ends. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this.
You are amazing, and you make me a better knitter! Knowing you are here keeps me from losing my s..t when faced with a poorly explained pattern 😂🎉❤ Thank you!!
Thanks so very much for this! It’s been a frustration for me for over 50 years... I can’t wait now to weave in as I knit!!!
You are the knitting goddess!! Any knitting question I have - you have the answer! And in just a few minutes of tutorial, not an hour like many others.
Weaving in ends is near the bottom of my list of things I love about knitting, so I was very happy to come across this technique. It only took a few stitches to get the hang of it , and once you get a rhythm going it's really pretty easy. And as you say in the video, it doesn't change the front of the work at all. I even like how it looks on the wrong side.
Yay! Just did it on my 21 color slouch beanie! Such a n easy weave! Thank you! 🧶💕🙏🏼
Thank you very much for these instructions. I am currently knitting a sweater for my grandson. Beginning at the raglan shaping, the pattern became multiple stripes up to the neck. I had a gazillion ends to work in. Arrrgghh!!! Your method has saved my sanity! Thank you so much! Love all your videos! 😀
Game changer!!!! I am working with a potato chip scarf from one of your previous tutorials, and I'm alternating colors....this is epic!!! Thanks!!!
This has been frustration for me for years. I tried this last night and LOVED IT! I can’t wait to have to weave in again!!! ... but I will. 😁
Cool, that's how I carry the floats in stranded color work while holding each color in each hand continental and English. I never thought of using this technique to weave in ends!!! I'm so excited to try it!!!!! Great work!
I am going to try this. I wish I knew about this a month ago as I knitted a twin size blanket with five colour changes every 10 rows.
That was great! My mantra will be 2 strands forward and 2 strands back 😂 so I can remember the technique.
I love this! Can't wait ti try it!
Brilliant ! That’s just what you are. Every time I hit a problem with my knitting, you are my go to person to get me straight. You never fail me.
Thku thku this is such a fabulous way of weaving in ends. It took me a bit of time to get my brain around it but finally I GOT IT . 🇿🇦 🙌🏻👏🏻 Ruth

Thank you for making this video. I have been using this method for many years and it my favorite when knitting on the go.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Staci, I hate weaving in ends, this is perfect!!! 👍🏻
I love your tutorials! I have a request, is tgere anyway that you can do a video showing what to do when a pattern calls for a " no stitch here". Im stuck on this, going into a thumb gusset on a glove. Ive been looking everywhere online for a demo and cant seem to find anything. Im very frustrated. Please Help!! And where can I find it if you decide to do the video?? Thank you for all your videos
I used this technique a few months ago when knitting a blanket for a customer in honeycomb stitch with stripes. And because there was one row that all knits, it worked out perfectly!
Today I am knitting a striped Hogwarts scarf and I decided to come back to this technique after not having done it for a while. I kept watching the video and doing what Staci was doing but realized that my tail and old color weren't getting trapped in the knitting and I couldn't figure out why. It was because I didn't realize that Staci was doing a regular knit stitch with the working yarn after those stitches, and *that regular knit stitch* is what traps the yarn. It's like trapping a float in fair isle, which means you also have to watch your tension. I'm doing this in stockinette in the round and you can see those floats through the stitches similar to fair isle and my stitches are slightly bigger, so I guess I have to work on it.
I can't believe what a simple technique that is for eliminating the most dreaded part (for me) of a knit project. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I have knitted some baby garments but I am still quite new to knitting and learning all the time. Your videos are clear and well presented, helping me to hopefully get better and more confident. Thanks again! 😊
Thanks Staci - turns out I've been using this technique for years and I didn't even know it was a 'thing'! I just finished a (stashbusting) tubular multicolour striped cowl; with this technique and your 'jogless stripes' method I now have a lovely cowl ready for winter. Love your hints and tips.
Trying this for the first time on double pointed needles, wish me luck!
This is what I do to trap long floats in colourwork. Never would have thought to use it to weave in ends too, I always do the Zimmerman method. Very clever, I'll have to try it!
I didn't read your comment yet and posted a duplicate note above! I had NEVER thought to weave in my ends this way, and now I feel I should have thought of this before. :)
Awesome technique! I can’t wait to try it on the Protest is Patriotic Shawlette. Thank you very much!
I absolutely love this !!! I hate weaving in ends at the end. I'm a novice knitter and I'm always looking for new ideas. I'm so excited to try this in my next project. Thank you so much!!!
I'm knitting a striped wrap and I hate weaving ends in. I didn't want to use split spicing or Russian join either so your video is EXACTLY what I needed! It works like a charm and the work looks really good. Thank you so much for sharing, as the double thickness was what I wanted to avoid. x Davie
Perfect! This will probably be my new go-to method.
I was very surprised to see this video because it's very similar to how I weave in my ends when I crochet! I'm definitely going to have to try it!
Thank you for taking the time to share this. I like your presentation too, btw. It's clear, direct, and encouraging.
Excellent video. I wish I had seen this video a month ago. I just finished knitting a blanket that changed colors every six rows and now have to weave in all those loose ends with a tapestry needle. UGH! This is the one thing I hate most about knitting and crocheting. Thanks for all your helpful videos.
This was a great technique. I hate weaving in ends, and this technique makes it look simply and effective. I'm going to try it next time. Thanks for the info
i was always using this technique ... i got the idea from the float management in fair isle.. from then i was using this as i am a lazy person to weave in the end.. LOL. also instead of taking both end . what i do is first stitch alone i take both and then drop on thread and do the same technique when coming to the start again .. so the thickness wont be much .. round knitting i take new yarn along before reaching the start so that the stitch will look neat and by the time we reach the start the new yarn will be ready to start and we jsut have to do the cut of one
very helpful response. I was worried about beginning of round becoming more dense than the rest of the project due to the number of ends woven in when doing fair isle knitting.
Awesome tip! I’ve been following you for years. You’re my favorite tutorial instructor! Much love from Cobbs Creek, Virginia ❤️ 🧶
I have tried this method and L O V E it.. thanks Staci for being there for all of us
Thank you! This will be a lifesaver for my temperature scarf project,
Here for the exact same reason!
This is such a clear demonstration of this technique….thank you!
Love, love, love!! I like to color change and this is a game changer! Thanks
Thanks again for a great video. This makes so much sense. Weaving in ends are no fun and your way looks neater too.
.
This is so much easier than what i was doing! i was wrapping the like i was doing an anchor for Fair Aisle. effective but a bit more tedious, this is brilliant thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I’m knitting a temperature blanket and weaving in the ends is getting very old! This is a perfect technique!
I’m doing a temperature blanket too. Did you find a way to do this with wrong side facing you while switching colors? I’m finding it looks messy when changing colors.
This is way easier than the last three vids I've watched! This looks awesome!
This is a game changer for me - I love it!
Wow! I'm making a wrap right now and this will be so incredibly useful!! Very exciting as that is my least favorite part of knitting. 😍
This is awesome! I'm using this technique from now on......love it! Thanks Staci.
Great instructions. My favorite you tube "teacher"!
hi stacy,im a fairly new knitter,
thanks for the great tutorials,im so glad i found you
Great video Staci, I'm gonna give my next dual color piece of work a try using this method.
Definitely want to try this technique. Always enjoy your tutorials!
Thank you for sharing this great idea! I really dread having to weave ends and this method will save so much time!😊
Omg, thank you for this, Staci! I've tried EZ's method as well but not happy with it so I usually knit about 3 or 4 rows then weave the ends into their corresponding colours before moving on so I don't have to do oodles of ends when finished. So fiddly! Thank you thank you!
This was and awesome video and I used it to today. I am doing one of the scrap blankets and there a bizzilion ends. This technique works great. Thank you.
Oh, I've been looking for something like this forever! Can't wait to try it on my next project. Thank you so much for posting it.
Excellent tutorial as usual Staci - loving this technique 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow! So inspired for my sock yarn blanket again. I'm more than 160 squares in. Thanks.
This is a game changer for me! Thank you so very much for making this video.
Absolutely love this tip!!!! Thanks so much for sharing it! Game changer!!!! Two thumbs up .... Thanks Staci.
thank you loads!!! It is so simple when you explain it!
This looks totally awesome! Definitely bookmarking it to try at a later date.
Look forward to using this soon. Love it. A faithful subscriber. Thank you.
Very similar to what I started doing before finding out how to actually weave ends or interested in bigger colorwork. Only difference is that I brought the tails forward between stitches, not on top of the stitches. It makes a similar pattern on the back, but not very noticeable in garter. I do recommend doing this as long as you are comfortable, as sometimes, if for like a scarf that's going to be used regularly, the work can stretch and expose some ends to trim or wave a little more "standard" way.
I love your videos. This one is helping me so much with my Temperature Blanket KAL!
I'm absolutely liking this so far! Thanks Staci! Sara Jeanne
Love your videos. Very easy to learn your methods.
Looks like a really good way to weave in those ends!
Thank you so much! Now I will happily be changing colors.
Thanks for the great tip. I’m knitting up a sweater and this will come in handy!
Love this technique! Pure genius! Your videos are excellent. Thankyou so much.
Excellent video of this technique
Brilliant! No one explained this as well as you have!!
Just what I was looking for !! Working a stripe cardigan. Thank you!!!!
Is there a version of this for purling and/or seed stitch? Or do you just reverse it for purling?
Absolutely love, love, love this technique; and thrilled to pieces that Staci gives such awesome knitting help!
What a great idea - can't wait to try it
When I have made knitting projects before, I would have to carry that yarn with me, like fair isle I guess, to get through the design I was working on. I do like it for weaving in the ends too!
I'm working on a colorwork design shawl/wrap. I am about to come to another colorwork section and will try this. Thanks!!!
Can you do this with a knit 2 purl 2? Working on a textured Afghan with moss stitch.
Oh, WOW! Grabbing some needles to swatch this!
This is brilliant! Thank you.
That is very cool. Now to keep somewhere so I can find it again!
I love this technique for when the knit stitches are on the right side of the work, but is there a way to do this in reverse stockinette? Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!
I have never tried knitting on circular needles but have always wanted to. This would be a great way to try it!
Thank you so much!
Thankyou...at last a method easy to follow...kind regards ruby
I like this technique! Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks Staci. Another great video
I'm about 30 rows in on a blanket that changes colors every 2 rows. It has already become a wonky nightmare. I'm frogging it and starting over using this technique. I always know that when I have a knitting problem you will have a sensible solution! Thank you.
I love this technique! ❤️ Thank you!!!
I'm pretty impressed with this method too. Thank you very much indeed. x
I tried this a couple of years ago with and acrylic piece for one of the kids. It came out. I would only try this with wool. Fortunately I weave long ends and was able to fix it with a needle. Better semi stuff than coming apart.
I'm LIKING it!!
I hate weaving after all... Thanks for sharing your expertise❤️
Andrea from the Fruity Knitting Podcast shared this technique. It originally comes from the owner's of Philosopher's wool they have a whole DVD on knitting fair isle weaving in the floats as you knit and weaving in the ends as you go.
