Cutting or Breaking the Yarn: When you have completed your project, it's time to cut or break the yarn. This creates a hanging thread, known as the thread tail. This thread tail is what we'll use to weave in our ends.

Weaving in Your Yarn Ends: Weaving in your yarn ends is the process of securing the hanging threads so that they don't unravel. To do this, you'll need a tapestry needle, which is a large, blunt needle that is used to weave in ends and sew up seams.

Step 1: Take your tapestry needle and thread it through the end of the hanging thread.

Step 2: Weave the needle in and out of the knit stitches, working in the direction of your crochet project. Make sure to weave the needle through a few stitches in each row to ensure that the thread is secure.

Step 3: Once you have woven the needle in and out of several rows, pull the needle and thread through to the back of the work.

Step 4: Repeat the process for the other end of the yarn, making sure to weave it in the same direction as the first end.

Step 5: After both ends are securely woven in, cut the excess yarn close to the knitted fabric.

Weaving in your yarn ends is an essential step in completing your project. By using a tapestry needle, you can secure the thread tails and ensure that your work will not unravel.

With this video tutorial, you will learn how to properly finish your projects, making your hard work last and look neat.
