When you are knitting a pieced garment, like a sweater, it's not unusual to weave the loose ends into a seam. For items like hats, scarves, blankets and socks, it can be a little trickier. I knit up a little stockinette swatch to demonstrate three different ways to weave in your yarn tails - the duplicate stitch method, a zig-zag method and a double diagonal method. Some experienced knitters will tell you that using the duplicate stitch is the proper way to weave in the ends. The idea of the duplicate stitch is to copy or trace the path of one row of stitches, on the wrong side of your knitting, as you weave in the end of the yarn, hence the name.įor demonstration purposes I knit one row of my white swatch in a green so you can easily see the path I duplicated in orange. If youre working with a thick yarn, duplicate stitch will add too much bulk and show itself. Looking for knitting shawl projects for the cold nights This pattern is ideal for an adventurous beginner and is fully written and also includes. For demonstration purposes I knit one row of my white swatch in a green so you can easily follow the path I duplicated in orange. If thats the case try this: split each yarn tail in two and pull. Hats are one of the common gift to send for newborns, I have shared some knit hat patterns before, they are cozy and special. Even though I used a contrasting yarn color, you can hardly see the duplicated stitches on the right side of my sample.
The Zig-Zag is usually my favorite method for weaving in loose ends because it is very inconspicuous and does not add as much bulk as the duplicate stitch.

This time I carefully wove my yarn under a series of diagonal "bumps". I have framed the zig-zag with my fingers and you can see the contrasting yarn barely shows. This method is very secure, but it is a little more bulky and noticeable than the other two methods. Like the zig-zag, you weave your yarn diagonally under the "bumps". However, instead of going under every bump, you alternate. Then, you weave back through the skipped bumps. The tension of the fabrics secures the yarn tail very tightly. On the right side the weaving is somewhat visible, but this would not be as much of an issue when you are using the same yarn you knit with.Step 1. Thread about 18″/45cm of yarn onto a tapestry needle. Identify the first stitch you wish to duplicate. It should be at the bottom of your design. Insert needle from back to front at the point of the V of the stitch to be duplicated. Pull needle through, leaving 3-4″ tail of yarn, to be woven in later. Insert needle from right to left behind the shoulders of the stitch above the one you are duplicating. You will see that the right-hand leg of the stitch is now duplicated.
Insert needle from front to back through the point of the V from Step 3. You will see that the left-hand leg of the stitch is now duplicated. Move on to the next stitch to be duplicated, and repeat from Step 3. Work bottom to top, alternating right to left and left to right as rows are completed. Use the tip of the tapestry needle to adjust the tension as necessary. When you are finished with your motif, cut yarn with 4″/10cm remaining and weave in ends on the wrong side.
