Joining crocheted pieces can be fun. Get started with an overview of the invisible tapestry needle join, weaving in ends, and how to read square and section diagrams.
Simple, quick-to-learn seams are demonstrated, including the whipstitch, slipstitch seams and corners, and single-crochet seams and corners.
Learn a couple of combination seams: single-crochet chain combinations, and double-crochet, two together seams.
Save time and eliminate those growing piles of squares by joining them as you go. You'll learn three techniques: slip stitch, single crochet and flat JAYGo methods.
Edie's ingenious JAYGo hybrid allows you to join as you go, while keeping your project small and portable.
Another ingenious technique, the Continuous Final Round, lets you seam up your whole blanket project with a single piece of yarn. Edie also shows you some variations.
Filler stitches add texture, airiness and an extra design element to your project. You'll learn how to work lacy fillers between clusters of squares.
Seams can be pretty as well as practical. Edie shows you the finishing touches for your crocheted blanket project, including blocking, seaming and working the corners.
How do you join motifs that aren't square? Edie shows you how to work with hexagons, circles, triangles and other free-form motifs.

Conquer that stack of crocheted motifs and turn them into a beautiful finished project! Edie Eckman shows you easy ways to join granny squares, hexagons, and other shapes with smooth seams and corners that don’t pucker. You’ll learn 11 different crocheted connections, including four join-as-you-go techniques, so when you’re done, you’re done! Use a crochet hook or yarn needle; make them invisible or work them in a contrasting color for design interest. Lacy filler and edge stitches add airiness to your project, and the ingenious Continuous Final Round lets you seam up your whole design with one piece of yarn. Add lots of new elements to your crochet bag of tricks, with help from the author of “The Crochet Answer Book.” Edie’s blanket pattern, featuring six pretty square variations, is included free!
