Needed Arrangements

The first thing you need for your crochet is a crochet needle. These come in various sizes and you’ll need a new yarn ball for your design. Sometimes it can be helpful to use a magnifying glass, making the work more visible and easier for the beginner.

Procedure

There are two ways to attach a new ball of yarn to your current crochet design. We are going to elaborate on both types in our today’s discussion. There are two ways to attach a new ball of yarn to your current crochet design. We are going to elaborate on both types in our today’s discussion.

Technique 1

This is the most uncomplicated process of attaching a new yarn ball to the crochet. In this system, you must stop stitching before your yarn is finished and leave at least five inches of free thread. You must take the new yarn, tie it with the hanging yarn, and tighten it correctly. In this manner, the two yarn will get joined, and you can start using the crochet needle and continues the design, but this system makes a swelling part at the point of a knot.

Technique 2

As we have mentioned, there remains a swelling knot at the first technique to combine the two yarns, so this process will eliminate such issues. For this system, you must take the thread’s ending and keep at least five to six inches free. This will be used on the later steps.

Then you have to take the crochet needle, place it inside with two loops, and then take the new yarn. We must remember that the original thread must be made, keeping five to six inches free at the end.

You must take the new yarn, place it through the loops, and start the stitching again. In this manner, the new thread will quickly join with the design, and you continue the crochet comfortably. Now, as we have kept some portions of the yarn free, we will take them and stitch them pleased with the design. In this manner, the extra yarn will not create any swelling at the portion; instead, it will match the design and make it much string. 

Things to Keep in Mind While Performing the Task

Crochet Needle

The crochet needle safely uses the essential aspect you should remember while attaching a new yarn ball to the design.  Because the edge of the needle is quite sharp, and for this reason, you must be very careful while using a needle, and your hand must not get pierced.

Conclusion

Lastly, we would like to say that both the techniques we have stated on adding a new ball of yarn crochet will be much useful for beginners. And the design that you intend to create will be much more beautiful to look at. Happy Stitching! Have a nice day!!
