in this video I'm going to talk about a
0:02
Nifty finishing tool you probably
0:05
already have on hands it will help you
0:08
embellishments waving in ends and other
0:12
yarn conundrums you may find yourself in
0:30
so I want to show you how to use this
0:34
fantastic finishing tool that you may
0:39
Arsenal and that is the crochet hook a 2
0:43
mm size so if you are a Knitter you may
0:46
not have any if you're a crocheter maybe
0:51
of crochet tools or a set of crochet
0:55
hooks that has these small sized uh
0:58
crochet hooks in there and you may have
1:00
thought I'm never going to use this I
1:02
never want to deal with that fiddly
1:04
crochet thread you know to make doilies
1:07
and such some people love it but I know
1:09
a lot of people just don't want to deal
1:11
with that cuz it it is a little tedious
1:13
and it takes time to work however don't
1:16
disregard this tool and if you don't
1:17
have one I'll link it below it's $5
1:20
maybe a little bit less and why this
1:23
works so great is let's look at buttons
1:25
for instance have you ever tried to
1:28
thread yarn into your button using your
1:33
uh tapestry needle this of course will
1:38
no Slimmer no and even
1:45
no this yes goes right in there okay so
1:52
this um this is a crochet towel holder
1:55
the patterns on my channel and I want to
1:57
put this button on here so that I can
2:01
onto wherever onto my um fridge onto the
2:05
rack on my oven door or even if you want
2:08
to use it in your bathroom towel holder
2:09
in there so I'm going to see where I
2:11
want to put my button which is right
2:15
here mark it get rid of these because
2:18
they're useless for this project get
2:27
piece and I'm not going to knot the back
2:29
at don't want an unslightly knot I'll
2:31
weave the end in so I'll go
2:34
in pull up my yarn from behind leaving a
2:37
little bit of a tail to weave
2:44
up and then pull through the
2:56
hole that'll just come up from behind
3:08
through grab and pull
3:17
side make sure I'm not pulling my tail
3:26
here come up and pull through so that's
3:29
how you can get your yarn into your
3:31
button hole using this Nifty little
3:34
technique with the hook and I'm going to
3:37
show you some other ways that you will
3:40
find finishing with this
3:53
useful right next have you ever cut your
3:56
yarn too short or you were playing
3:59
chicken with it and you are on the
4:00
losing end and you don't have a very
4:02
long tail you do need a certain tail
4:06
length to use a tapestry needle because
4:09
you need the length of the needle plus
4:12
maneuvering length so normally you would
4:14
cut oh 10 12 in and for this length this
4:18
is not going to work on a
4:20
needle there's about oh 4 in there so
4:24
I'm going to just come in and loop it
4:28
through do my weaving in
4:39
hook and it will let you get your you
4:42
know four five six moves that you want
4:45
to get to kind of weave it
4:47
in and you can still get all the detail
4:50
that you would normally get with a uh
4:56
needle because it's such a fine tip
5:00
and you can just get your weaving
5:09
so and my hand is nice and secure now
5:12
and I can trim away the
5:16
excess okay and there's more to come
5:37
now let's look at crochet tags often
5:44
uh a rivet for something like this
5:47
however for some tags or maybe it's
5:50
personal preference if you just don't
5:52
feel comfortable with your washable
5:54
items having rivets on them you can use
5:57
this to bring your arm your arm your
5:59
yarn through so a tag like this will
6:02
fold over it looks really cute with a
6:04
rivet but these smaller tags with these
6:07
little holes again the tapestry needle
6:10
really struggles to get through these
6:13
and it's going to for something like
6:14
this it could possibly
6:16
break the delicate little
6:25
again let's get some yarn
6:31
on and you can see very easily this is
6:35
my uh Farmhouse striped crochet towel
6:39
pattern just pushes right through and
6:42
then you can hook and bring up your yarn
7:06
like so and then come through the
7:11
back make sure I don't split my
7:15
yarn come up and just like with the
7:25
through and you can see the edges are
7:28
still intact that it's not ripping and
7:31
also uh the yarn does not overwhelm the
7:35
tag like a rivet would something this
7:41
rivet could possibly cover if you're
7:44
using your branding on there instead of
7:46
just a general handmade this would be
7:49
this would be a lot on a towel although
7:52
I'm not I don't hate the way that looks
7:54
it's just personal preference whatever
7:55
you prefer but if you feel like it'll be
7:57
more washable with the yarn this is
7:59
another thing to use your little Nifty
8:02
tool for a little 2 mm crochet
8:06
hook and give this video a like if you
8:09
