I first saw how to do a “Russian Join” on Facebook, and I am glad I saw it. This is a good thing to know how to do. It doesn’t matter if you are knitting or crocheting, this is a great way to join your yarn. Especially if you are like me and HATE to weave in tails. This is better for joining a new skein of yarn that is the same color. I did a multi color scarf and used the Russian Join to connect all the colors. However, if you need the color change to be in a specific spot this will not be the best option.
It may look difficult but it is not. Just practice, practice, practice and soon you will be able to do it and have it look good.
