Q&A for How to Finish off Crochet

Using any color you choose, attach the yarn to your hook with the standard slip-knot. At any point on the blanket make a slip-stitch to attach the yarn to the blanket. Make one round of single-crochet all the way around first, joining the last stitch to the first stitch with a slip-stitch. Doing this is useful as you can count the number of stitches on each side and end, making sure you have the same number on each side and end. Now make the shell stitch pattern you have chosen.

You have to join both sides together with a very loose slip stitch. Then, if you like how it looks, very carefully and slowly pull the working yarn or string slowly.

You have to sew and then work the loose ends back and forth through your finished jacket seam. You have to do this on the wrong side, or inside, of the jacket.

Try to make all of your whip stitches about the same length and width in order to give them and your entire project a more uniform and consistent look.

When you're done using the yarn, just cut the tail. Then, you will see a loop, and you can just pull that cut tail through the loop.
