How to crochet straight seams when crocheting in rounds

[@sherry8105]

I hope you see this although this video is a couple years old. I’ve been crocheting for over 49 years now- holy smokes!!- and that jog has always bothered me. I never found a solution- this is IT!! I am so happy!!

@@sherry8105 I do see your comment! Glad the video has helped you! 😉

I had to frog the body of my most recent WIP because the seam wasn’t straight. Thank you, I have restarted using your method!! 😊

O my goodness, thank you! I have been trying every method in the book to get my seam to be invisible, but none worked. Then i found this video and I thought "well if I can't make the seam invisible, at least I can try to make it straight, it'll be easier to hide." So I used your method, and my seam is now practically non existent. This is a game changer, thanks again 😇

That’s fantastic! Glad it helped 😊

I got it! It took me a few times to do it. Just had to keep replaying the beginning steps until I got it memorized and it works great. I'm starting with a small, plant jar cover then I'll progress to other projects. Thank you for this because the diagonal line is simply ludicrous. edited: for typos lol..

@@manicangel7796 amazing! Glad it has helped 🩷

D'oh I just found this video half way through makimg my sweater! Never mind, I'll suffer the diagonal for this one but I'm definitely using your technique for my next sweater, thank you 🤗

[@bluestarcrochet]

I’m sending my deepest sympathies… but yeah, use this for your next sweater 😂

Good tips. But how to handle if there is pattern in each row? I tried this method but it didn’t work with pattern, instead of just repetitive plain stitch. Thanks

[@bluestarcrochet]

You could space out the increases differently in keeping with the pattern.

Thank you very much for your reply. Appreciated. Will try. 😊😊

All these years...all those slanted garments. I can't thankyou enough! One question if I may...when doing the alternative join, do you have to work back loop only, or was that just cos you were already working blo? 🙏

[@bluestarcrochet]

@@CiaraFitzgerald1972 you don’t have to work blo, it was because of the pattern I was working on

[@daschuhow]

Wow!
