Crochet tip for fastening strands

In this DROPS video we show how to avoid sewing many strands after colour change. Work the first 2 stitches at beginning of every row with new colour with double yarn (same colour). Then place yarn end along stitches from previous row and work around it so that the yarn end is hidden inside the stitches. In addition should the yarn end left at the end of row also be placed along the stitches when turning the piece to work around this yarn end as well. The way the strands are fastened without using a needle. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly.

Sew the openings at the ends with a seam on each side, sew in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch so that the seam does not become thick. The piece is now a flat rectangle, fold the rectangle lengthwise so that it lies double. Now lay the long sides of the head band together in layers without twisting the work. The ends of the head band now lies alternately inside and outside each other, and the edges lies edge to edge. Sew through all layers with tight whip stitches with 1 stitch in each stitch - it is important that it is sewn through all layers so that the seam do not show when the work is turned inside out. Turn the work inside out, so that the seam is on the inside of the head band. This head band is worked in DROPS Alpaca and DROPS Kid-Silk, the same qualities we use in the video.
