DESCRIPTION

It's a job few actually like to do, but learning to weave in ends properly will make your finished knitted or crocheted item last longer and make it look professional, store bought, haute couture!  Ends can be dealt with as you go or once a project is finished

Working from a sample swatch (see below), we will weave in lots of ends, right side and wrong side, and learn to fearlessly put them in their place.  

HOMEWORK (Required!!!!!)

Using smooth, light colored worsted or DK weight yarn, and needles appropriate for that yarn, cast on 20 stitches and knit Stockinette stitch (knit 1 row, purl 1 row) until your swatch is at least 3 inches tall.  Leave stitches on your needle and DO NOT CUT YARN.

MATERIALS NEEDED 

• Your swatch
• Tapestry needles and scissors
• Contrasting scrap yarn, a few yards

SKILLS LEARNED

• Weaving in ends on Stockinette and Reverse Stockinette and while a project is in process!

SKILLS NEEDED

You should already know how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off.
