• Never work over yarn ends. While this might be the easiest and quickest way to hide the ends, it doesn’t really anchor them as securely as weaving them in does. • Always leave an end at least 6–8 inches in length.

Pull the end gently and clip, allowing the yarn to ease back into the stitches. • If working with multiple colors, if possible, weave yarn ends through same-color stitches to keep them invisible. If weaving ends into a very open, lacy design that doesn’t offer much in the way of solid fabric…
