Weaving In Ends, Color Changes, Etc.

One of my least favorite jobs in completing a crochet project is weaving in the yarn ends. When I first learned to crochet, I saved them all to do at the end of the project, but I soon learned what a chore it was to face them all at one time. So, practically from the beginning, I’ve worked them in as I go.

There are different methods for accomplishing this, but I was intrigued by some of the tips in the following video I found at YouTube. It addresses several issues, including hiding the yarn tail at the beginning of your work, closing the gap that a beginning chain-3 at the beginning of a row or round can produce, color changes and working in the back ridge of a chain. Enjoy!
