Finishing Off
You know how to start so now you need to know how to finish.
You're following your pattern, you finish your stitch or connect at directed and then it says "finish off." So what does that mean? It's really simple. To finish off, cut your working yarn, leaving a nice long tail (at least 4 inches) wrap working yarn around your hook and pull completely through your last loop. You just created the same slip knot that you started with.
Weaving in Tails
So you've finished up and now you're ready to hide those tails.
-Start by pulling each one and making sure they're tight and secure.
-Then take a smaller hook than you worked with and your job now is to make sure the tails aren't seen. Simply start at the knot of a tail, work your hook into your stitches and pull the end of the tail through.
-Do this so that at least 2 inches of your tail is hidden.
-Pull and stretch your project out so that the tails settle in more and are less likely to pop out.
- Snip off the extra tail, being careful not to cut your project and you're done!
