Question
Hi,

I am planning to work on a muti-color blanket (ie, two rows in yellow, two rows in blue, two rows in pink..etc.). I will have all those end tails in every two rows..what should I do and how can I hide them?

Thanks for the question.

You can do three things:

One you will just weave in the tails into the work.

The other is carrying the color at the edge of the work. So when you are done with the color, just carry the other colors at the ends. Now if you do use this method, a border will need to be added, so it can hide the thread carried.

The last one is carrying the color on the next row for a few stitches, then cutting it after. you will just lay the thread down on the row, and when you perform the stitch, it will be buried at the base of the stitch

Hopefully this will help. Should you need any assistance, please let me know

Happy Hooking
