Weaving in Ends

When weaving ends into the wrong side of knitted fabric, it is important to weave them in so they are both secure and invisible. Weave in the ends before blocking the piece, then trim the ends to about 1⁄8″ after blocking.

One weaving method that works particularly well on stockinette stitch and garter stitch is to use duplicate stitch. For example, on the wrong side of stockinette stitch, follow the path of about three or four purl stitches (Figure 1). On the wrong side of garter stitch, work as for stockinette stitch, but span two rows for each woven stitch (Figure 2).

To weave in ends on a rib pattern, weave the end first up the right leg of a knit rib (Figure 3), then insert the tapestry needle under both legs of a stitch at the top of the rib column (Figure 4), then weave the yarn down through the left leg of the same knit column (Figure 5).
