How To Weave In Ends On Granny Squares

Hello! Have you ever finished a beautiful granny square (or ten!), only to be faced with the dreaded task of weaving in all those ends? I can assure you, we've all been there! I'm here with advice to banish your end-weaving woes and turn you into a pro! After this blog post, you'll be able to conquer all those those pesky yarn tails, leaving your granny squares looking polished and ready to take on the world (or get made into a cosy blanket at last!).

What I do is take each end (one from the centre, one from the corner) and weave them towards each other, taking care to keep this hidden on the wrong side. I then tie them in a reef knot before weaving them in, first one way, then doubling back. I've been using this same method for about 10 years and I can report that it's a releable method for securing ends, none of my blankets have come apart.

 

The easiest way for me to explain the above method is video, so there's a YouTube tutorial which will walk you through my exact method for securing those pesky yarn tails on solid granny squares. The beauty of my technique is that it applies to multiple colour squares as well! The only difference is that with more colours, you'll have less distance to weave in your ends since the gap between ends will be shorter.

 

So, for a more visual demonstration, watch the YouTube video below where I'll walk you through the entire process step-by-step.
