I usually do this but had some trouble when my new color was a row of double crochets (granny square) and so the tail worked loose fairly easily. Any suggestions?

I discovered a tip online that makes a really good bond when joining same colors. Using a large-eye needle, weave a few inches of the ending skein a few inches into the beginning of the next skein. Then weave the beginning of the new skein into the end of the old. Tug it taut and then crochet as if there was no join. You’ll never find the join again and its the tightest join I’ve ever found…won’t unravel at all.

I use both methods to be sure ie crochet over the yarn and then weave in a bit as well. I’m always worried it would come undone. Maybe it wouldn’t but I like to be sure. This is probably why I really hate all those ends to be done. I suppose if the tail is long enough ie a few inches it might be ok to just crochet over it. Sometimes I’m not sure how much yarn I’ll need so try to conserve as much as I can. Probably using up too much that way as well. So I think I’ll take people’s say so here and just crochet over and not weave in. Thanks

Shannon: I’ve had the same problem. I’ve got one solution I can share. First, crochet over the yarn for three stitches on one row like this tutorial suggests. Then let the tail hang out the back of the piece. Then on the next row, when you reach the tail, crochet over it for another three stitches. Keep doing this for three or four rows and you’ll have less of a chance of the yarn sneaking back out over time.

I’ve been doing the “crochet over your ends” for most of my crocheting life. Rarely have I had any issues… biggest challenge – keeping the tail long enough so id doesn’t pull out but short enough that it doesn’t make one row bulkier than the others!

I found that my ends un-wove when I used this method. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

After 23 years of crocheting and weaving in ends, I started doing this in my last color-changing project and it saved me hours!

I love this method! I was so excited when I learned how to do this a couple years ago. It really changed my life!
