Oh my God, this really works! You have saved my bacon! I've been doing various other "seamless" tutorials for the past two days, but I still keep getting a darn seam. Your technique is the only one that has worked for me. Thank you!!!!! :)
This is EXCELLENT!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Would you please do a tutorial like this joining sc, hdc and dc with one color and one with color changes all in one video? That would be great and greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! 👍🏽
I scoured everywhere for a tutorial on seamless continuous crochet in the round and couldn't understand any of them!! But I finally understand yours, I can't thank you enough for posting this!
thank you, very much. i have watched countless videos and only ended up more frustrated than when i started, im a novice at this and you have made it a pleasure to watch and learn from you.
Interesting comments from people. I just bought my first crochet needle and thought of crocheting along a bathroom mat and among youtube videos from the look this one seemed a pretty circle as compared to all others. I followed and im able to make it exactly the way it is shown. Interesting to know that people found this out after many years.
Thanks so much for this tutorial. With all the hats I make, this method will improve their look in such an amazing way. I'll be sharing this but giving you all the well deserved credit. With thanks!
I've been searching high & low for an easy way to do a seamless round and finally found your video. I just tried it and not only is it easy, it looks great! Thank you so much for sharing!
I recently crocheted a very beautiful hat for my daughter and was very disappointed with the ugly line left in the back. I wished that I had viewed your video and saved myself the trouble. I really didn't know this could be done and ran across your video by chance. Thanks so much for sharing you've made my day.
Thank you for your teaching, I have a lady asking me to crochet her a holder for her urinary drainage bag and I believe your pattern is going to be the cats meow to my worries how to do it. Thanks again.
Thanks - never too late to learn. You have a PLEASANT voice, great diction and super technique. BTW, I followed the link from the spring hats which I'm doing for my daughter and her 2 girls (9 mos--big for her age) and 2 1/2 (small or her age). Thanks again fro your generosity!
Excellent tutorial; very easy to follow. I've switched over to this method now, because I don't like that seam, either. Now the rounds I've been practicing from your tutorial look so nicely finished. I'm going to use this to make some newborn and preemie hats as soon as I finish writing this review. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
You can use it for any stitch, though it isn't really necessary with sc, I just put the 1st sc in the 1st st then work around, then sl st into the 1st sc to join OR ch1 place the 1st sc in the 1st st, work around then sl st into the 1st sc to join. To use this method with other stitches, just make your starting chain different (ch1 for sc, if you go that way. ch2 for hdc and dc. ch3 for tc)
Excellent tutorial, I am going to need more practise of course. I noticed I had an opening where I went down to dc the first stitch. I didn't notice it until I started the next round. I will be back to try again tomorrow. I'm so close, it's probably something I'm missing or perhaps my sets were tight enough. Your tutorial for the magic ring is super. Thank you so much. Dorothy
This is a very interesting way to hide the seam! I have come up with a couple ways myself, but I was focused on keeping the seam straight. Can't wait to try your method :)
I just read Janis' comment and I am pretty sure I know where I was making my mistake. I will work with the tutorial again tomorrow. I love techniques like this. I wonder if it could be used anywhere else. I haven't been a hat maker I always knit them but the crocheted ones would make a nice Christmas present along with a scarf. Thanks again. Dorothy
Ohmygooness! I've tried so many techniques that claim to be seamless, and each had an issue that left it a little less that satisfactory. I can't wait to try this one! I just wish you had shown the wring side of the project so that I could see how seamless that side is, for flat projects. But I'm guessing it looks the same as on the right side. I'm practicing right mow with kitchen items I'm making, so I'm going to try this now. Thank you for this!
Awesome. Yes the wrong side looks nice and neat as well. This works for both turned rounds and rounds all worked from the same direction. I can't wait to see how it works for you.
@cre8tioncrochet ok! I'm sticking with this one! It took me alot of tries, then alot of searching out more techniques, yet again, and then coming back to this video...bedore I noticed that I had misinterpreted a step. It wasn't your demonstration. You were fine. It was my iwn brain missing something. I'm left-handed, so I have to reverse e erything in my mind. I was taught by a nightie, so I learned to do that pretty well over the years, but I still get mixed up sometimes when I watch other people. Now that I figured out wmwgat I was doing wrong; my circle is looking perfect The stuches look uniform, I can't see any bumps, there's no noticeable difference in thickness of the joined stitches, and no dents from tightening the joined stitching. I imagine I could use this technique fir projects that you turn as well? Other than that, I wish I'd learned this decades ago when I was crocheting all the time :)
Wow this is so clever I love it. Thank you for sharing this video it will help a lot, Im posting it to my facebook there are quite a few friends who will love this too. :)
Thanks, I've been crocheting for years and no matter what tips I followed the seam never looked right. How in the heck did you come up with this? I've never seen anything like it. I'm going to try it on my next hat. Thanks for sharing. Have a good day.
You are very welcome and I really have no clue how I came up with it, I've just always done it. I am completely self taught so I had no idea that there was any other way (ugly chain up) until I joined some fb groups and saw other hats and saw the big ugly seam up the back. So I decided to share what I did and it has been a big hit. I do all my crochet pieces in the round using this method.
This is a GREAT technique. I also loved your magic circle tutorial, it was the only one (of many many many) that I understood and was actually able to succeed at! My question for this technique is: when changing colors, at what point do I bring in the new loop of color? At the beginning of the slip stitch or at the ch 1? Thanks for your advice!
Thank you. You can change color with this method. My written post on my blog explains how with a picture tutorial further down the page. Enjoy! www.cre8tioncrochet.com/2012/12/seamless-crochet-rounds/
the last dc goes in front (or after) the ch1 or 2. You basically ignore the chain and pretend it isn't even there. The second to last dc goes in the st that the ch1 or 2 is in and the last one goes in the stitch that you left empty to begin.
Hi, I love your tutorial. It looks great when using one strand. I am using 2 strands and it looks bulky and I was wondering if you could help with that. Thanks Nina
Love this technique but how to you finish the last round of the item you are making. Do you still slip stich into the back loop of the first double crochet?
Thank you SO much for this!!! I'm a bit of a newbie and was wondering if you could please clarify when would be best to ch 1 or ch 2... Your video says to ch 1 as your dc, your written instructions say to ch 2... Thank you!
Hello. Thank you so much for showing this technique. I love it. Just curious, though, if you are working with single crochets, rather than double, would I skip the initial chain one? Or would I still chain one, skip the first crochet stitch and start on the second?
This is such a great method. I just came across this video randomly and I am so amazed. I am in a progress of crocheting a striped hat and I'm really thinking about undoing all the stripes and remaking them this way. I have a question though. How do I finnish the last row? Do I slipstitch in the back loop only or is there any trick to make it invissible? Im also curious about what the seam will look like when I'm not increasing anymore. Becouse the two stitches in one loop seem to cover the transit loop nicely, but one stitch might not be enough. Im gonna try and see. Thanks anyway for such a lovely tutorial and for sharing the method.
Thank you. Your rounds after increasing will look just as good as the increasing rounds. For the last round you can just sl st into both loops in the same way OR you can use my invisible finish method here www.cre8tioncrochet.com/2013/01/the-invisible-finish/
Thank you so much for this video. I am making a cocoon. The instructions say to chain 2 (not counted as a stitch). She said it is a hidden seam if done correctly. No other info. To me I can see a seam, so I searched for hidden seams. I'm just about done so this practice one will have to have a seam. I also noticed I'm crocheting inside out. I'm holding it exactly like you are and going the same way. Why did it end up inside out? I need to put petals on once I'm done the main cocoon. At that point it says to turn. Should I turn my work right side out first? Then when I "turn" I'm working from the inside wrong side. You don't cut and tie off before you start your petals. You then work into back loop. It's a free pattern if you need to see it to understand what I'm saying. I will post link if needed. Let me know. Thanks
Wow!! I second everyone else saying they're really excited to have discovered this!! Question for you: any idea why the round is "cupping" when I use this technique?? (number of stitches I'm doing is correct...🤔) THANK YOU!!!!
Hi there, I'm so glad you are finding this tutorial helpful. There could be several reasons why your circle is cupping. I could provide more info if you can let me know the following: what weight yarn are you using, what size hook are you using, what stitch are you working with (sc, hdc, dc, etc), how many increases are you adding per round?
@@loreneeppolite7400 Aww hey thank you so much for having taken the time to reply with all of that! I've had that problem a few times since then and absolutely- you're right- it can be any one of those. I think I was accidentally counting my chain as a stitch or something like that as I recall too! Anyway, all resolved now with practice, experience, and, well, help from RU-vid! 😁
this is awesome. So I was wondering, you are doing a double crochet and you only chained 1 to start each new row, is this chain 1 universal for all stitches or just basics of DC, SC, HDC? Thank you so much for this I have made probably 5 or 6 beanie hats and I hated the seam lolAlso I have a question on how to join colors do you have a video on that too?
