Do your crochet ends keep sneaking back
0:19
out no matter how carefully you weave
0:21
them in? In today's video, I'll show you
0:23
my favorite method to finally stop these
0:26
peekaboo ends once and for all. Whether
0:29
you're making blankets, garments, or
0:31
accessories, this simple finishing trick
0:34
will keep your projects looking neat,
0:37
polished, and frustration free. Let's
1:10
So I want to look at securing ends. Now
1:14
this has obviously a lot of color
1:18
changes and with that comes a lot of
1:20
ends. So look at what's happened. I've
1:26
and we've got these little tails kind of
1:29
sticking out where I ended the weave.
1:34
Right? So, as much as you kind of pull
1:37
it and kind of get it to be smooth set
1:40
into your, you know, back and forth or
1:43
however you do your weaving.
1:46
These little tails are still sticking
1:48
up. For some projects that might be
1:50
okay, but this is a wearable, so that's
1:55
So, what I'm going to do is use fabric
2:01
And I have a video where I talk about
2:03
this being a really useful crochet tool,
2:06
which is these little, you know, 1.5,
2:09
1.75, and 2 mm hooks. This is a 3mm that
2:14
many of you will probably never use that
2:16
you got in your kits. And even if you do
2:19
use these, you can clean them off. But
2:21
what I use them for because I don't
2:23
crochet with thread. At least I have not
2:25
yet to this date. I use these to bring
2:30
yarn through my buttons. And also, you
2:33
can use it to weave in ends. If you're
2:34
in either a situation where you played
2:37
yarn chicken and you ended up too short
2:39
where you cannot use a needle to or yeah
2:43
a tapestry needle to weave it in, you
2:44
can just kind of hook through and get
2:47
your yarn woven that way. And I'll link
2:49
that video where you can see all the the
2:51
ways that I like to use these. But
2:53
today, for this video, I'm using it to
2:56
help me with these little pesky ends
2:59
that are poking up. They look terrible.
3:03
All right. So, this has a very fine tip.
3:05
I'll link this one in the description.
3:11
Kind of almost like a pin tip. Small
3:14
amount. I do have a toothpick over here
3:16
in the event that I need it.
3:19
Old school with the fancy,
3:22
but also it helps me know which is the
3:26
quickly at a glance without glasses on.
3:28
So, what I'm going to do is first
3:35
the yarn where I want it to be secured.
3:39
So, this is a tight color change. I want
3:41
to be careful where this goes in.
3:48
Get my little dab on here. There's one
3:51
already coming out. Now, fabric glue
3:53
will take about 48 hours to fully dry.
3:56
It is washable. Once it's set, just pull
4:00
it through to the other side. And that
4:06
secure it down. It may not completely
4:09
make it invisible. It's going to lay
4:11
flat. So, if I look over to the other
4:17
Kind of dab it into place as I work on
4:23
All right. So, I've got another one here
4:30
uh taught where it's supposed to be
4:32
living because it's not going to stay
4:35
All right, let's find that in.
4:38
It's already coming out. Actually, I
4:40
need to stand this up in something
4:43
because it's just coming out on its own.
4:49
And then I'll just kind of
5:19
It's already getting a little tacky.
5:23
Now, I think that's good. Okay.
5:27
And then here, I've got another one
5:35
This one might be good just to smooth a
5:37
little with a smaller amount. I don't
5:41
even need a whole drop. Just kind of
5:52
I want my hook for this one.
6:28
I think I only have one up at this end.
6:54
Now this end I think I can kind of
7:04
Yep. And I'll stay put. All right. So,
7:08
that's what I'm doing to secure ends.
7:17

Tell me what color yarn you're working
7:23
with right now and subscribe if you'd
7:25
like to see more crochet content.
7:30
Right now, from here, I need to clean
7:32
the glue off of my hook. So, I'm going
7:34
to use some nail polish remover, 100%
7:40
and work the hook in that. Some kind of
7:46
but since I paint my nails all the time,
7:49
I always have acetone around.
7:52
And there we go. It is
7:58
and ready to go again for my next
8:03
Now, tell me if you've ever used fabric
8:05
glue. I think it'll be handy to have
8:07
around for a quick hem, but mostly I'll
8:10
be using it for my crochet projects.
