I just read your tutorial about changing colors and I understand all but how to keep the different yarns from raveling out of the project–somewhere in there, the yarn has to end, and what happens to it when it does?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have a zillion crocheted squares that I have totally avoided joining because it never looks neat whether I do it through both loops or just one. I love the crocheted afghans that look like quilts and this solves my biggest problem. Thanks again.

Thanks, now my crochet basics are complete. I am one who follows directions. I have never seen directions of how to do this with pictures. Thank you. When doing what someone told me,” just crochet them together!” I felt that it was too bulky, and, is there supposed to be a chain on the back? I didn’t feel any better when whip stitching them together. Now, I totally get it! Thanks so much.

Will have to try that one, but found out that doing a slip stitch or a single crochet around the out side of each mofit makes it look nice. Have tried both ways and like the finished look of a mofit that has been gone around look much neater. Plus by doing this you don’t take away the ourter edge of the mofit.
Thanks for sharing the slip stitch idea.

Thank you so much for showing!! I had done single crochet and it didn’t turn out as nice… Then again, it was my very first piece ever… I enjoy afghans and such that are all one piece as well… Tell me – do you have a way to do this with Tunisian Stitches?

Diane, that’s a neat idea! I’ll have to try that – I’ve got a granny mini-throw to piece, but I’ve never liked the bulkiness of stitching through both layers whole.

I have used this method, and also used double crochet (Australian term) to join squares with a fluffy texture and contrast colour to make a beautiful babies cot blanket. It is so much easier than threading a needle and sewing together items. I am yet to try it out on a knitted garment though. Thanks for the good tips on this page!
