How to finish a row

To finish a piece crocheted in rows, fasten off and weave in the yarn tail. Weaving in the yarn tail means hiding the yarn tail behind a row of stitches, and looping it back behind another row of stitches. This will make it impossible for the yarn to move. If there’s a side that’ll be hidden from view, weave in the yarn tail on that side.

1. After your last stitch, cut the yarn. Yarn over, and pull it completely through the loop. This should make a knot.

2. Thread a tapestry needle with the yarn tail, and insert it behind a few stitches in the last row.

3. Insert the needle behind a vertical stitch, so that you can make your way to the row below.

4. Insert the needle behind a few stitches in the next row, going in the opposite direction. Trim the yarn tail, and massage your piece until it becomes invisible.
