1. i dont know how to crochet
2. Anna, I have been crocheting for about 60 years... First, do not knot your yarn ends together! This makes for a lumpy finished fabric. Instead, make the last stitch of the old yarn up to the time that there is still two(2) loops left on your hook, then pick up the new yarn and finish the stitch with the new strand! *Note: it is advisable to leave considerable yarn tails of both new and old yarn for weaving in after you have finished your product. To weave in the tails, work the yarn back and forth under the stiches on the back side. Try to go at least 3 or 4 stitches, then go back the other direction for 3 or 4 stitches. This will hold even when you launder it without needing to make a knot. Good Luck, hope this helps. PJB
3. PJB's answer is the best way to add thread. If you are not sure about it staying when you launder it then a drop of FrayCheck on the final ends will hold them in place permanently.
