Things You'll Need:
- Tapestry needle
- Yarn
- Scissors
-
Step 1
Place two finished pieces side by side, right sides down.
-
Step 2
Start at either corner. It doesn't matter. Pull the yarn up through the back of the bottommost loop. Make sure you hold on to the yarn tail so it doesn't pull through.
-
Step 3
Push the needle through the back of the loop on the other side, one row up from the row you started on. Make sure you come up from underneath the loop.
-
Step 4
Repeat the stitch from one side to the other until the top of the section is reached. Always make sure you are coming up from underneath the loop and that you are only catching the back loop of the stitch.
-
Step 5
Secure your stitches. Slip the needle through one of the top stitches. Before you pull the yarn all the way through, slip the needle through the loop you've just created.
-
Step 6
Pull the yarn taut. This makes a knot, which will keep your seam from unraveling.
-
Step 7
Cut or break the yarn but be sure to leave a long tail (at least 6 inches).
-
Step 1
Make a slip knot, leaving a long tail (at least 6 inches). Slip the loop over your crochet hook.
-
Step 2
Place finished pieces wrong sides together if you want your seam on the front of your design, right sides together if you want in on the back.
-
Step 3
Start at the right corner if you are right handed or the left corner if you are left handed. Push your hook through the rightmost (or leftmost) stitch on both finished pieces.
-
Step 4
Do a single crochet. You can either catch just the back loop or put your hook through both loops. Experiment to see which you prefer.
-
Step 5
Make single crochet stitches in the edge stitches along the entire seam, making sure to put your hook through the loops on both pieces.
-
Step 6
Tie off your seam by making a chain stitch and making a big loop. Cut the yarn in the middle of the loop and pull the free end out. Make sure to leave a long tail.
