Invisible Fasten Off

“INVISIBLE FASTEN OFF” FREE TUTORIAL

This technique allows us to close and join pieces worked in spirals or rounds in a much cleaner way, creating a smoother, neater, and more professional finish.

We can do it in two different ways:

• Simple invisible join: does not add any extra stitches to the project.
• Invisible join with increase: adds one extra stitch to the piece.

Below, you’ll find the detailed step-by-step instructions for each method.

STEP BY STEP PATTERN

Invisible Fasten Off

Cut yarn, pull the yarn tail through the last stitch completely and thread yarn tail onto yarn/tapestry needle. Skip one stitch then insert needle into the next stitch under booth loops of the SECOND STITCH of the last round. Next, insert needle back into the same stitch that the yarn tail is coming from but into the back loop only. This creates a closing stitch. Weave tail into wrong side before trimming. This finish off does not increases stitches to the piece
