CraftThere will come a time when your ball of yarn will finish before you've completed your project or a pattern will call for you to use another color. In these cases, it will be necessary to join a new ball of yarn.
To prevent unsightly knots, it's best to do this at the end of a row, however, this can be done anywhere in your project.
Below, our Stitch Ambassador Mikey of The Crochet Crowd will show you how to join new yarn on your EZ-knitting project.
Step 1
Cut the working yarn so that there are two loops left.
Step 2
Open up the loops by cutting each loop at the base to create a tail of yarn. Get your new yarn from your new ball of yarn and cut open two loops creating a tail of yarn.
Step 3
Tie the tail from the working yarn and the tail from the project yarn together making a knot. Make sure the knot is right at the base of the first loop on both the working yarn and the project yarn. Continue to do your EZ-knitting.
Step 4
Once done, thread a darning needle with one of the the tails and stitch through a few stitches of your the stitchwork and then reverse the stitches three times. Cut when done. Repeat with other tail.
Tips
Do not use all of the loops in a yarn ball. You want to leave about two or three loops un-stitched.
