How to crochet the Mattress Stitch Seam

How to crochet the Mattress Stitch Seam.
The mattress stitch is an easy stitch perfect for seaming the sides and underarms of garments. It creates a flat, practically invisible seam.
You will learn how to stitch the mattress stitch on the top and sides of crochet stitches as well as tips to improve your seams.
This video is helpful for beginners who have never used the mattress stitch as well as intermediate crocheters who need tips to make their seams cleaner.
I used this stitch in a few of my crochet patterns such as the Be Spotted Crochet Tee (pictured in the video) and Stripe Blocked Cardigan.

Yeah, and it's very useful for sweaters!

I'm glad you said it doesnt have to be precise. I was out here panicking because I thought it had to be perfect

Thank you because literally no one explained it except you ♥️♥️♥️

Great tutorial! Seaming the sides always caused fear and trepidation. Thanks for the clear, concise explanation.

I usually never comment on youtube but you are a life saver! I looked through hundreds of videos on how to stitch without a clue on how to do it and was about to give up on my project all together. You made it so simple and stress free, and the final product ended up beautiful! You are so easy going and I bet your friends and family love spending time with you, thank you so much!

I've been looking for a process like this for months. So glad I found this. I made a granny stripe pattern for a jacket and have been struggling to find the best way to join the side seams. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@TookThisPictureInSpace]

Thank you for showing the sides, this is what I've been looking for. I'm not sure if this is the mattress stitch, at least I know a different one, but this looks great so I'm just gonna do what you recommend. Thank you!

[@AllThingsSheena]

Finally! 🙌🏽

[@rochelleme83]

How would you do a top and a side. Like and arm to an arm hole?

[@khanhlytran]

I do not know how to crochet at all! But I purchased a skirt that’s one size too big. Without cutting into the skirt, can I use this technique to sew my side seams tighter? Thanks

[@PeggyJoB]

Hi MaryBeth. I'm working on your Be Spotted top right now. This was a very helpful video. However, I do have one question. How do you finish this off? Do you split your yarn and tie it off? I wouldn't think that just working it in would make it stay put. TIA

[@crochetwithmarybeth1528]

Hi Peggy, I'm so happy to hear you are making the Be Spotted Top! If I am using a slippery yarn then I work the end in for an inch or two and then tie a knot on the back somewhere where it won't show. Then I work in another few inches. Thank you for asking!

[@mandizdanis6457]

I love that color green. Would you mind sharing what yarn that is you used? Ty for the tutorial.

[@flannel3315]

How do i seam the other side since it can’t be laid side by side
