How To Join Yarn In Crochet Without A Knot
Kimberly
I have been knitting and crocheting for over 50 years and I have NEVER put a knot in my yarn. Always start a new ball by weaving in ends….a knot (no matter how it’s made) can come untied over time.

Kelly Wallace I think this just changed me forever…lol
I prefer to just crochet as I have been and leave a tail that I crochet around in that it is secure in the pattern.
used to do knotless too until this invisible join blew my mind

Omg just watched it!! I got to use this going forward as I am a knitter!! Thanks for the tip!!
Tks so much for sharing! I am going to be using this technique from now on. I am truly grateful!
Thank you
Wow I’ll try it
I ‘fuse’ wool yarn by splicing old end and new end about 2 inches, then wetting my free palm and vigorously rubbing back and forth until fused. Makes a continuous strand.

all well and done I don’t like knots the Russian join is best or weaving in ends
I never join with knots. I join by making the next portion of yarn part of the previous stitch.
I have used this idea and am very pleased. 8n my article just can’t see it
video unavailable going to try it later
I always do my joins at the end of a row or round. It’s just easier for me that way to weave in those ends.
I take end of yarn thread into a needle and slip it in the middle of next skein I’m connecting with. I thread down about an in and even the two ends out. Slightly thicker but it’s easier for me and neater..

Clickbait crap!!

Same. Tired of this happening.
I knot the ends but leave the tails of the knot long, then weave in those ends, along with any other ends, when work is finished. Hate when u find knots in a new skein, & they’ve cut the ends real short, so they poke out of your work & make it look less finished!
I agree! I have had that experience even with expensive silk yarns that are supposed to work like filagree lace. I wish they would mark the skeins whole, and maybe discount the skeins they had to piece together.
I use a Russian join works well with most yarn, does make it a bit thicker but less ends to sort out later
The video was not for show pity
