Weaving in ends secures your yarn tails so they don't come loose or unravel over time. It also hides the tails for a cleaner, more professional finish.
Weave through at least 3-4 stitches in one direction, then back through in the opposite direction. This creates enough friction to keep the yarn secure.
While you can tie a knot, weaving in ends is more secure and creates a neater finish. Knots can come undone and may create bumps in your work.
