How to Join a New Ball of Yarn

Balls of yarn aren't limitless - they run out! At some point you'll need to join a new ball of yarn to your knitting. Here are two ways to do it, including my favorite, stealth way!
_________________________________________________________________
/// MATERIALS USED ///
⟡ Malabrigo Rasta yarn in color Pearl Ten www.loveknitting.com/malabrig...
⟡ 24" 10mm circular needle in rosewood www.loveknitting.com/pony-fix...

However, only buy what you need! Many knitters have used other materials, and their results are just as lovely. The materials list is just a suggestion based on what I have used.

This has opened a new world of projects for me on top of the fact that I now can combine the scraps I have been stacking up for a long time.

    Just subscribed for the best version of joining the yarn. I'm knitting a snood using the moss stitch and used the second version of joining the yarn but carried on knitting in the moss stitch as normal. It looks ok as I didn't want to interrupt the pattern of the stitch. The 3 stitches were knitted in a K1, P1, K1 pattern. Thank you for uploading this fantastic tutorial. Greetings from London! ☺️

    2nd join didn't go so well. I had to rip up a row and try to get it all going again. I managed to get the other ball of yarn going but added a stitch... Waaaat? I'm just going to let it go and weave in the ends when I finish. So disappointed. I thought, I'd get through this without any great gaffs, but... Oh well.

    Apologies in advance for my negative comment for your wonderful effort to explain and detail a much appreciated technique. I watch many many "how to" videos on KZread and to me the extraneous music in the background is more often than not annoying and distracting to the learning. Imagine taking a college course and the prof or teacher has music behind his oratory for the purpose of teaching. Music is for entertainment and quiet enhances learning. Too many videos have this problem.
