Seamless Rounds with Cre8tion Crochet

[@Mocha519]

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! 👍🏽

[@maryannharlow5172]

I have been crocheting for years and have never seen this technique. I am making beanies for charity and will for sure use your method. Thanks so much

[@cre8tioncrochet]

How did it work out for you Mary? Well I hope.

[@jenniferf2239]

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!!!!! :)

[@cre8tioncrochet]

Jennifer F That's awesome to here...so glad you found it helpful.

[@synRgsPin]

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.

[@alexisvalyan5054]

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!

[@ChavieZ]

Your instructions are very clear and your work is very neat, much better than other tutorials that I have watched. Thank you.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

thank you

[@wendybickford7337]

BRILLIANT!!!!! Worked it this morning on a HDC beanie - AWESOME - seamless - amazing! Thank you!

[@mexitot01]

Thank you so much. I have been hating hats because of the line. You have made this so easy. AWESOME VIDEO!

[@scasaretti]

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!

[@sharmanz12]

This is awesome, I've tried many methods of seamless joins and they nothing in comparison to this. This is truly a seamless join. Thanks for sharing.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

+Sharman Mulderig I'm glad you enjoyed... thank you!

[@roz3657]

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.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

oh you are very welcome. I really love the finished look this gives.

[@malikm4644]

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.

[@wendycampana9089]

I love this pattern for crocheting in the round without a seam showing. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@biblechannellaurie5881]

This is the very best way to move up in the round, hands down!! I lost it for a while, couldn't remember how!! I'm so very happy to find it again 🤗

[@dmg7025]

This was the most amazing thing ever....I often stress about the seam in the back of a hat. Thank you so very much....

[@cre8tioncrochet]

Oh, thank you.

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

WOW! The best and truly "seamless" stitch ever! Thank you!

[@nasaid5748]

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.

[@rosewms1]

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!

[@NSynCreatively]

This may be the best looking one so far. Thnx

[@BG29902]

Excellent tutorial for a problem we all share when it comes to making rounds. Thank you so much!

[@phunkrieger995]

Great tutorial, thanks! Best one I have viewed on seamless rounds.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

Thank you!

[@fooey6141]

love this method and your instruction..you have a soothing voice, too

[@Willlabee]

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!

[@dkgetz5354]

THANK YOU ! I've never liked that "seam" look in the back of a crocheted hat or cap. Now I won't have that, and I can be more proud of my creations !

[@cre8tioncrochet]

Awesome, you are very welcome.

[@lovefortruth3414]

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!

[@cre8tioncrochet]

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.

[@lovefortruth3414]

​@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 :)

[@aardvark1956]

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!

[@cre8tioncrochet]

Chris E Thank you and you are very welcome!

[@stephanielarson3950]

Thank you! So helpful! I have been looking all over for how to create seemless rounds!

[@darleneleon7252]

This was a great video. I like that I can now have a seamless basket. Thank you so much.

[@GildaTheLily]

Fantastic! That's the best technique I've seen 👌

[@karengearheart5956]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! my hats look so much cleaner & I am so proud of them.!!!!

[@cre8tioncrochet]

+Karen Gearheart You are very welcome :)

[@lovelyknitcrochetbyyanina909]

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 :)

[@joannbelcher157]

I love this seamless round technique. When I have crocheted in the round, like you said you have an ugly looking line. Great video. Thanks

[@djm9100]

Loved the tutorial and just finished an infant boys beanie, looks wonderful. Thanks so much.

[@LisdaYantiKasim1226]

Very nice tutorial and very clear. I like the technique and had tried to do it. Thank you for sharing.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

+Lisda Yanti Kasim You are very welcome, I'm glad you have enjoyed it.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

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)

[@Lediardcrew]

This is amazing! I will be using this technique from now on. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

You are welcome, so glad you enjoyed it.

[@anitadeclerck6000]

Thank you very much! Also the first person I see who is crocheting like me! 😀

[@Subwaygal2]

This is awesome!!! I feel like I need to remake everything now without a seam!!! Thank you!

[@dorothyatkinson1668]

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

[@roseannpruett1575]

Lookin' good ! Because I've always hated the separation that the chain up made... Thanks

[@dorothyatkinson1668]

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

[@michaelwallace5291]

Brilliant idea.zI will be giving this a go.Greetings and thanks from Moira in Australia

[@katiegrav]

Thank you so much for a beautifully, clear tutorial. This will come in handy for so many of my projects. I subscribed and glad I found you!

[@cre8tioncrochet]

You are very welcome, thank you.

[@mrsarielmiller]

Great tip/trick. Thanks for sharing.

[@sharmanz12]

I tested this method with sc and hdc it works with all stitches.

[@tigerbutterfly7784]

Thanks for making this video. The hats I'm crocheting are looking beautiful because if this technique. :D

[@ChillEatWithMrsE]

Thank you, thank you, thank you...this will be my go to join from here on out...great technique!

[@cre8tioncrochet]

you are very welcome, glad you found it helpful

[@margitrees512]

Thank you your instructions are very clear.

[@goodies707]

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. :)

[@cre8tioncrochet]

+goodies707 awesome, thanks for sharing and I'm so glad you found it helpful

[@barbi15ca]

Great technique, thank you for sharing! I'll be using it in the future.

[@luannmadelinebatt]

Looking forward to trying this. Thank you!

[@carolinalander6187]

I like this video and the full explanation. Can you do a video like this one but with single crochet? Thank you

[@drydusk]

Love this, and love your accent. :)

[@cre8tioncrochet]

Thanks. What kind of accent do I have?

[@cre8tioncrochet]

thank you, so glad you like it

[@annewoodmancy2990]

Thank you for this, now I can make seamless hats! :)

[@cre8tioncrochet]

+Anne Woodmancy You are very welcome, enjoy

[@tiaemireyesgonzalez978]

thank you so much. What an eye opener.

[@vicki4422]

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?

[@cre8tioncrochet]

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.

[@ninastasiowski7197]

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

[@cre8tioncrochet]

I've never tried it with two strands... I will have to play around and see what I can figure out! I will try to get back to you soon.

[@tammy__8161]

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!

[@cre8tioncrochet]

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/

[@Quaternions]

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?

[@christinakandris8923]

Quaternions α

[@anneaires3984]

Fantastic, thanks sooo much😀👍

[@alejandramontano3190]

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!

[@cre8tioncrochet]

you are very welcome

[@luzarmidacuevasleon2803]

Fantastic!!! hugs!

[@aprilmost]

How will this work with stripes 😍

[@marshadodson955]

Can you do this if you are colors at the end of the round? Thanks.

[@WendyPetzall56]

Thanks for the tutorial. Have you tried this with thread? With yarn, I can see that it works.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

Wendy Petzall You are welcome, and yes I have tried it with thread and it works the same.

[@aprilmost]

Do you have a bun hat pattern and what do you do for the chain 3 turn on blankets

[@LITTLEAIKENFAN]

Can I make the first or second round one color and then change colors for the rest of the round which might end up being a coaster ?? Great video!

[@CamilleGG451]

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!!!!

[@loreneeppolite7400]

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?

[@CamilleGG451]

@@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 KZbin! 😁

[@karenz7417]

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

[@DebbieKnight]

Great Tut....does this work for HDC as well?

[@acecatzak]

Thank you for your video! I'd like to make the circle 12" big. Do I keep doing the 1DC, 2DC, 1DC, 2DC to make the rounds??

[@cre8tioncrochet]

You need to follow the normal rules of increasing rounds. Increase in every st for the first round, Increase in every other st for the 2nd round. Increase in every 3rd sth for the 3rd round... 4th st for the 4th round...etc etc until you reach you desired circumference.

[@acecatzak]

Thank you very much! Very much appreciated!

[@eladsenoh]

How do you change colors using this technique?

[@a30061990]

Hi I was wondering if you want to increase do you increase each round?

[@mivlog655]

very good work....

[@Syrhani]

Thank you so much!! My crocheted hats look 100 times better.

[@sumaiaaltayeb2525]

Hello, how did you do the 1st circle, how did you join it?

[@joannecosgrove628]

Does this technique work when you have dc, sc, hdc stitches all in the same beanie?

[@DebbieKnight]

This looks brilliant but I need help please? On the pattern I am doing each increase row changes...3rd row 2 hdc, 1 hdc...4th row 2 hdc, 1 hdc, 1 hdc,...5th row 2 hdc, 1 hdc, 1 hdc, 1 hdc,and so on. You seen to start your 3rd row with 1hdc (in your case dc) then 1, hdc, this is the opposite to my pattern. Then what happens on rows 4, 5 etc? Thanks

[@dmmd1949]

Are you doing the last dc around the chain 1 or in front of the chain 1?

[@cre8tioncrochet]

thank you, nice to hear.

[@omgitsakittehh]

A little late to the show, but I have a quick question. Do you join rounds with a slip stitch before the chain one? I did that and I lost a DC that I needed to increase. Thanks for any help!

[@cre8tioncrochet]

Yes, you will sl st to join rounds. You may have to count or use stitch markers so that you don't lose your place.

[@awinx9475]

This is beautiful...thank you :)

[@cre8tioncrochet]

Glad you like it!

[@taliamuhammed6902]

Love it,🌺🌺

[@monicacesarz3842]

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.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

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.

[@Vladjenka]

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.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

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/

[@IinWibisono]

Very smart! Thank you.

[@darleneleon7252]

Great video

[@traceycunningham8340]

Thank you for showing this my joins are always visible

[@janicesmith3025]

Hi thanks so much for this info. I love it. When would you add a new colour after a round? Before chain ! in the beginning round?

[@azbelle3]

This is so awesome, thank you so very much!

[@pramyrpramyr8485]

hi, very need crochet. what is the pattern for 4th, 5th and 6th rounds? Thanks

[@69sweetnsassy]

so to continue from the third round. I know I chain one n skip the first stitch. do I continue with one DC and then do 2 DC's in the next stitch and do I keep repeating that for all the rows (4th , 5th, 6th etc etc round). I hope I explained that.

[@cre8tioncrochet]

+megan taylor it depends on your pattern, you'll only be doing 2dc in any of the sts for as long as you are increasing. Once you are done increasing and only doing 1dc per st than you just put 1dc in the skipped st and continue on like before. The main points of this method are to skip the first st, crochet all the way around and place the last st or set of sts in the skipped st, then sl st into the first st to join.

[@22xomelissa]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@cre8tioncrochet]

You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed!

[@69sweetnsassy]

so in the next row from where u ended in ur video do I do 1 DC in one stitch n 2 DC in the next stitch n repeat that all the way around. sorry I'm not sure how many DC's I do the next row. . help

[@cre8tioncrochet]

+megan taylor It really depends on the pattern... and how many increases you need to do. for a basic dc hat... The first increase row is 2dc in each st, the second increase round would be 1dc in the next st, 2dc in the next st, all the way around. The next increase round would be 1dc in each of the next 2sts, 2dc in the next st, all the way around. Then 1dc in each of the next 3sts, 2dc in the next st, all the way around. Until you reach the flat circle size you need. (for more clarification on how large you need to increase your flat circle to, please read this post --> cre8tioncrochet.com/2013/04/how-to-design-your-own-custom-crochet-hat/ once you are done increasing, you will do 1dc in every st around (including the skipped st) nothing changes in the way of the method, the only thing that changes is if you are still increasing (2dc in some sts) or doing the flat sides of the hat (1dc in each st)

[@anagusmao446]

GREAT! Thank you!
