Hi everyone, can someone explain to me the best way to keep crocheting with a new ball of yarn once I’ve used up the first one? It’s been so long since I’ve crocheted 😔 
Thanks for your help! 
Best regards, Kerstin

There are several options:
1. Just tie a knot: Google “Frankfurter knot.” It holds super tight.
2. Best done at the end of a row:
Start a stitch with the old yarn and then complete it with the new yarn. You’ll need to weave in the ends afterward.
