How to Make a Magic No-Ends Knot
Join a new skein without having to weave in ends!
Tying a knot may seem like a simple skill to master, but the magic no-ends knot is a special type of knot that will keep you from having to weave in ends!
This type of knot is perfect for a wide range of knitting patterns from blankets to large shawls that require many skeins. This knot is very secure, so it's also great for high-durability fabrics. When it comes to working with yarn, it is incredibly important to be able to tie a secure knot as quickly as possible.
Instructions
-
Put your two pieces of yarn side-by-side and pinch them in between your thumb and forefinger about a quarter of an inch from the ends of the yarn.
-
Take the yarn from your new skein of yarn and wrap it clockwise around your thumb and pinch it with the other strands of yarn.
-
Wrap the yarn again and put this new wrap of yarn on top (closer to the end of your thumb) of the first wrap.
-
Take the yarn and bring it in between your thumb and the two ends of yarn.
-
Take the two ends of yarn and tuck them around the last wrap that you made in step 4.
-
Tug on the yarn that's attached to the new skein of yarn and remove your thumb. Tighten, and you've got your magic no-ends knot!
