Knitting How To: Weaving In Loose Ends
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ e x p a n d . f o r . m o r e . i n f o ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
Every knitting project will have loose ends that need to be woven in to neatly finish the piece of work. The basic method is weaving the loose end of the yarn under and over the ridges of the pattern on the wrong side of the work or along the cast on/bind off edge.
When I weave the loose ends into the edge of the work (ie the cast on or bind off edges) I just quickly weave the yarn through with no particular method other than making sure I weave it in at least 1 inch one way, and then at least 1 inch the opposite direction.
