I love the way this gingham crochet blanket came out from Daisy Farm Crafts!
I added a round of each color for a border and I was happy with the way it came out.
When I get to the end of the project, I start to get nervous because I want it to look amazing.
I'm pretty good at weaving in ends, but I'm always open to new things and I wanted to share this with you in case you didn't already know it.
When knitting in the round or when joining the last stitch in crochet you are joining to the first stitch in the round. When you work in the round you are working in a spiral, this is why it can be hard to line up stripes and fancy patterns without a bit of chicanery.

| see the gap between the first bound off and the last bound off stitch? |
In this photo you can see there is a space between the first and last stitch of the bind-off row. (I talked in detail about joining in this blog post/video. ) A jog may be created that can cause an unsightly lump to form at your join. This technique changes all that. It only differs a bit from the old way that I used to join, but I find it is so much cleaner.
Cut a 6" tail for weaving. I always use at least six inches for weaving to really secure the ends.
Thread a yarn needle with the end.
 |
| Find the first stitch of the bind-off round, insert your needle from the front to the back through both vees of that stitch. |
 |
| this is the last bound off stitch, you can see the working yarn originates from there |
 |
| insert your needle, front to back through the back vee only, of the last bound off stitch |
Make sure that you have the loop the size you want and nothing is pulling and then weave in and secure your end.

| I adore this join! |
