One of the biggest advantages of the Magic Knot is how clean your work looks. The knot is so small it’s virtually invisible when woven into your stitches.
No more stopping to weave in ends for every yarn change. Just tie, trim, and keep going!
This technique is super easy to learn. Even if you’re just starting, you can master it in minutes.
Place the two yarns parallel to each other, with approximately 6 inches of overlap.
Using Yarn A, wrap it over and around Yarn B, then pull through to make a knot. Slide it close to the center.
Now do the same with Yarn B – wrap it over and around Yarn A and pull tight.
Hold both yarns and pull them in opposite directions. The knots will slide together and lock.
Snip the excess close to the knot. Done!
