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!
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 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!!
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! 😀
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.
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.
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
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!!
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 Durban Kwa Zulu Natal South Africa.
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.
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!
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.
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! 😊
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!!!
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 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'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
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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 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. :)
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
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.
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 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 have always weaved in the ends while knitting. I hold the ends in my left hand as shown in the video; however, I bring the ends in between the two needles and place them over the left needle. Then I insert the right needle through the stitch (and under the ends), wrap the yarn round the right needle and as I remove the stitch and the ends from the left the needle, the ends are now in place over the working yarn. Then I knit the next stitch as usual and alternate - same as demonstrated. I find it's not so awkward.
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 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!
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!
I do this with my colorwork! If I know my colors are going to be more than three stitches apart I will "weave" or "twist" my yarn to trap the floats. That way I can hold both colors in one hand while I knit (main color on my index finger, secondary on my thumb or middle finger). I actually use my working yarn though to maneuver around the tails. I'll either grab the yarn under the second color, then over for the next stitch.
SuperDesignChick yup it holds, but I mostly use it for color work/fair isle stuff. I'll encorporate the knit tail and working yarn together as one stitch first though if I want to knit in my ends and it holds well.
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.
I´ve been watching all your videos and they were great help for me as a beginner...so I was wondering if you can help me with the Brioche ..I want to knit a hat with this wonderful stitch...I hope this stitch will be your next video..thnx
This is so great!!! Can you weave in the ends this way in every project, even circular knitting? And would this work with any type of stitch when creating stripes or only with the knit stitch? Can you use it with many different types of yarn, too, or would some not work (other than, possibly, very slippery yarns)? The one thing I have never particularly enjoyed has been weaving the ends in, so I am wondering if I can do this while working a sweater or cardigan pattern (meaning, would the weave be strong enough that you wouldn't have to worry about the end unraveling?). Sorry for all the questions, and thank you for sharing this technique!
I did this successfully! However, on the color change for a pair of toe up socks, it left the color change more jagged on the stockinette, every other stitch is much smaller. It is very noticable to me as I only carried the tails halfway across. Any way to fix this? Do I need to just loosen my tension every other stitch?
I love this method making a dinosaur for my grandson and its striped, chunky wool would be a nightmare with Zimmerman method. I have found that I don't need to take the finished yarn to the back before completing the stitch, as I complete the stitch it falls back naturally so eliminating one step. Definitely worth the fiddle for the few sticthes to avoid weaving in ends after project complete, which is a total bore.

Yes, Fair Isle twist. Thought it seemed familiar.
I was just going to ask if this would work for Fair isle.

This is possibly the best method I’ve discovered so far and just in time for my first temperature blanket! Wish me luck

What do you have to do differently on purl sides
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!!

I can't believe what a simple technique that is for eliminating the most dreaded part (for me) of a knit project. Thanks!
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.
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!!!
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!!!
Trying this for the first time on double pointed needles, wish me luck!
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! 😊

Thank you for making this video. I have been using this method for many years and it my favorite when knitting on the go.
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. 😁
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 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.

Awesome tip! I’ve been following you for years. You’re my favorite tutorial instructor! Much love from Cobbs Creek, Virginia ❤️ 🧶
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 so much! I’m knitting a temperature blanket and weaving in the ends is getting very old! This is a perfect technique!

This is way easier than the last three vids I've watched! This looks awesome!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Staci, I hate weaving in ends, this is perfect!!! 👍🏻

Thank you for taking the time to share this. I like your presentation too, btw. It's clear, direct, and encouraging.
Thanks again for a great video. This makes so much sense. Weaving in ends are no fun and your way looks neater too.
.
Wow! So inspired for my sock yarn blanket again. I'm more than 160 squares in. Thanks.
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 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.
I have never tried knitting on circular needles but have always wanted to. This would be a great way to try it!
hi stacy,im a fairly new knitter,
thanks for the great tutorials,im so glad i found you
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.
Awesome technique! I can’t wait to try it on the Protest is Patriotic Shawlette. Thank you very much!
I'm working on a colorwork design shawl/wrap. I am about to come to another colorwork section and will try this. Thanks!!!
I have tried this method and L O V E it.. thanks Staci for being there for all of us
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.
This is awesome! I'm using this technique from now on......love it! Thanks Staci.
Thank you! This will be a lifesaver for my temperature scarf project,
Here for the exact same reason!
Definitely want to try this technique. Always enjoy your tutorials!
I have always weaved in the ends while knitting. I hold the ends in my left hand as shown in the video; however, I bring the ends in between the two needles and place them over the left needle.

This is a game changer for me! Thank you so very much for making this video.
I hate weaving after all... Thanks for sharing your expertise❤️
Perfect! This will probably be my new go-to method.
I am very impressed and grateful. Why have I never seen this before and can you tell me where this method originated?
Thank you for sharing this great idea! I really dread having to weave ends and this method will save so much time!😊
I love your videos. This one is helping me so much with my Temperature Blanket KAL!
This is a game changer for me - I love it!
Looks like a really good way to weave in those ends!
Great video Staci, I'm gonna give my next dual color piece of work a try using this method.
Great instructions. My favorite you tube "teacher"!
Can you do this with a knit 2 purl 2? Working on a textured Afghan with moss stitch.
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 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!
This looks totally awesome! Definitely bookmarking it to try at a later date.
Excellent tutorial as usual Staci - loving this technique 👍👍👍👍👍
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!
Could you do a video tutorial on how to weave in as you for double sided work
Love this video thank you for sharing. I wonder, can you use this technique for like intarsia, where you have to carry a color across the back?
I do this with my colorwork! If I know my colors are going to be more than three stitches apart I will "weave" or "twist" my yarn to trap the floats. That way I can hold both colors in one hand while I knit (main color on my index finger, secondary on my thumb or middle finger).
I actually use my working yarn though to maneuver around the tails. I'll either grab the yarn under the second color, then over for the next stitch.
SuperDesignChick yup it holds, but I mostly use it for color work/fair isle stuff. I'll encorporate the knit tail and working yarn together as one stitch first though if I want to knit in my ends and it holds well.
Look forward to using this soon. Love it. A faithful subscriber. Thank you.
Thanks for the great tip. I’m knitting up a sweater and this will come in handy!
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!
Love this technique! Pure genius! Your videos are excellent. Thankyou so much.
Love your videos. Very easy to learn your methods.
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.
Brilliant! No one explained this as well as you have!!
Thank you! I'm knitting the Hue Shift blanket right now and the ends are getting me down 😃
Absolutely love this tip!!!! Thanks so much for sharing it! Game changer!!!! Two thumbs up .... Thanks Staci.
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.
I´ve been watching all your videos and they were great help for me as a beginner...so I was wondering if you can help me with the Brioche ..I want to knit a hat with this wonderful stitch...I hope this stitch will be your next video..thnx
Awesome, does this only work with the knit stitch? I am a making 2x2 rib stitch
Thank you so much! Now I will happily be changing colors.
I'm absolutely liking this so far! Thanks Staci! Sara Jeanne
Is there a version of this for purling and/or seed stitch? Or do you just reverse it for purling?

Definitely worth the fiddle for the few sticthes to avoid weaving in ends after project complete, which is a total bore.
thank you loads!!! It is so simple when you explain it!
Absolutely love, love, love this technique; and thrilled to pieces that Staci gives such awesome knitting help!
Just what I was looking for !! Working a stripe cardigan. Thank you!!!!
This is fantastic! Please link your tutorial for the technique with slippery yarn.
