Professionally finishing your chrochet project.

Here is a quick tutorial to show you how to give your crochet projects a professional look.

I tried to take pictures of each step to help with the explanation.  I usually use this finishing technique when I am working in the round, it makes your last stitch invisible.

First when you get to the end of your last round don't finish your stitch, most people pull this last loop all the way though (like in the picture), don't do this....

Instead pull it back one loop before pulling the yarn though.  It should look like this (ended on a double crochet and did not follow the "join round with a sl st" on the final round) ....

Now thread your needle and put it through the stitch where you were going to join your final round....

Next you will put your needle down through the stitch where you pulled the yarn though......

Pull yarn though, not too tight, just pull until it looks similar to the other stitches around it.  It should look like a crochet stitch.

Weave in the ends and no one will ever know where the end is....













I hope you found this tutorial helpful, now you can have a nice smooth professional finish to your crochet items.

Happy crocheting!!!!
