Hi Cathy. I do not yet have a version of this video for lefties, but there is a way to flip the video so it will appear left handed. If you set your device up in front of a mirror so the screen faces the mirror, then you can watch the video in the mirror and it will be reversed. I hope this helps!
I've tried to learn this technique before and couldn't seem to get it well enough to see the point of it. Yet I got it first try from following your video. So clear and helpful! Thank you!
Not only is this a brilliant way to solve a frustrating problem, YOU are an amazing teacher! I really enjoy how thoroughly you explain things. Not just what to do, but what NOT to do in comparison! Thank you! I love your crochet videos!
I’m working on some Hanging Baskets for my daughter’s birthday. I completed one with the regular instructions and the ridge up the joining rows is SOOOO obvious. I’m planning on using your technique on the 2nd basket to have a seamless join. I’ve been crocheting for 50+ years and have never seen this - what a game changer!!!! Thank You Thank you ❤❤❤❤
You are definitely an angel! I have hated the “ugly” seam for years. In fact I’m working on a hat that I have frogged three times because of said seam! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I’ve never ever heard of this technique and I’ve been crocheting almost 50 years, my mind is blown! This is so awesome. I’ve always detested that joining ridge. This technique has opened up a whole new level for me. Thank you so much for sharing! I just subscribed. Can’t wait to see what other tricks you are sharing! Thank you again!
WOW!!! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!! I'm so happy to have found this video tutorial on the invisible slip stitch joins. It was very annoying to have that seam being so VISIBLE .
This is fantastic!!! I absolutely HATE visible seams in projects, especially hats. I always make hats in the round without changing colors just to avoid unsightly seams. This is a game changer, thank you so much!
At least 50+ years of crochet and you have taught an old dog a new trick; and just in time for my first skirt in the round. I am super happy. Thank you 10x's over. Mam Darln is a Happy Darln.
Omg this is such a relief for me. I've been crocheting for 3 or 4 years but I still feel like a beginner sometimes. I've always thought that it was just me that this happens to, I thought I just didnt know what I was doing!!
I've been crocheting for over 70 years. You have changed my life!!! I have always avoided crocheting in the round because of the jagged joins, but now - as I said, you have changed my life!!! I will never be disappointed in my projects again.
BEST CROCHET HACKS I HAVE EVER SEEN BY FAR!!! If the other RUclips yarny people knew about these 2 hacks they would/should be amazed. It makes your work look so much better than ANYONE I have ever seen, and I mean ANYONE. I am subscribed to channels that have 1 million subscribers and/or close to it!!!!!!!!!!!
🧶 I have watched at least 6-7 others do what they called an invisible slip stitch & chainless starting stitch and not one was as completely clear & comprehensive as your explanation & demonstration! You made it look simple in fact. Thank you so much. I've been crocheting since I was 10-12ish (just turned 51 a few days ago) and had never seen anybody explain it as completely perfect as you just did. Thank you again. You've just totally changed my work! 🧶
Wow. I'm only a year and a half late to the party, but this blew my mind!!! Definitely an amazing quality-of-life improving technique. Now I wish I had found your channel sooner! Thank you for putting this out there, greatly appreciated!
Ingenious!!! I have so many things I've made that I see my staggered joins and then I cringe. I tried so many ways to fix it. I always thought I was a poor crotcheter! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Great, i will have to redo the circles Ive already redone 100 times (because of that nasty little join). Seriously i had no idea an invisible slip stitch existed and yr video is 3 yrs old! I wonder who invents this kind of thing? Hooray for you & Thank-you so much
4 years old this video is and it's a treasure. I need to find a way to save this because I will definitely be practicing then use these techniques. Brilliant, thank you for sharing this.
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! I've been a crocheter for over 45 years, and this is the first time I've ever seen this technique. WOW! no more ugly lumpy seams at the start/end of rounds...YIPPEE!!!
You have made it possible to help us crochet in the round without seeing awful stitch lines. This will really improve the look of crocheted beanies for me. Thank you and blessings! 🙏❤️🙏
I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful tutorial!!! I've watched many videos on how to get a straight seam when using dc in the round, and none of them ever seem to work for me. I can still always see a slanting seam going up my project...but no more! I am currently making a cowl, and used the chainless starting dc and your method for joining. Not only is the seem straight, it's pretty much invisible. I won't dread working in the round anymore because of you. Thanks!!!! 🤣👍💕
I found this just as I was about to start the sleeves of a sweater for my mother, this couldn't have come at a better time. thank you, this video is very well done
This stich is a complete revelation to me, I am so happy right now i cant even tell you!!! Works so well I pulled my whole sleeve out to redo it with this stitch! Thank you so much, this is really brilliant! Ive been crocheting for years, and first time I see this!
Wow! Excellent! Thank you so much for sharing this. And not only is the information extremely helpful, you did an excellent job of explaining and filming the work. Thanks again.
Thank you so much!! I've been crocheting for 18 years and making projects in the round is what I do most.... 😅 this part of crocheting, how to join and make it look nice, was the only thing that I felt like I was doing wrong the whole time, but wasn't sure how to word it in order to Google it, as I'm mostly self taught. So thankful I found your video, this is a game changer! I feel so much more confident moving forward now, lol.
Thank you for sharing this, just another little tip that has helped me…when I make the first chain less single crochet I put a stitch holder in it, then when I come to do the invisible slip stitch I can give it a little tug before undoing it and it makes it easier to get the hook in from behind👍😀
WOW! THANK YOU! The only thing I do differently is keep the same type of stitch marker in until I've gone through, then remove it so that I don't loose the loop(s). Super technique!
I've always avoided patterns which require a chainless starting stitch because none of the videos or written instructions ever made it clear enough. Yours did the trick! I'm super excited because a pattern I really want to make requires this technique. Thank you for such incredibly clear and concise instructions!
Absolutely a game changer! I cannot stand the very noticable line from the other way. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm going to share your video with a couple friends that will love me for it but I'll definitely give you the credit. Lol. You have a new fan in GA!
I am in absolute awe of your technique and instruction. This is the best tutorial on chain-less starting and invisible slip stitch that I've yet to see! Excellent tutorial! Thank you for sharing your skill with us! :)
This is really impressive, I’m doing a top for my sister, I think you have saved my sister’s top from having this weird line going along it, thank you so much^^
I have been crocheting for 65 years and was always trying to learn new stitches, tricks and techniques. This a new one for me also. My biggest problem at 70 is I am in cognitive decline ( starting dementia) and now my abilities are going backwards. It is sad to know I am losing all those years of getting more advanced and better at something I have a real passion for. I watch a lot of crochet videos to try and learn new things and a lot of the time anymore try to remember how to do things that were second nature before. I really like your instruction because you teach as if to a little one just starting out. It is something I need now...the patience and basic step by step instructions. I'm glad I found you because it will help me to keep crocheting for as long as possible. My grandma who started teaching me when I was five had also started young, crocheted almost every day like I do and made the most beautiful crochet thread with small steel hook starched stand up doillles. At about my age she stopped crocheting which I didn't understand. Now I know she was going into dementia and lost her ability as I am now. I wish I had known and could have helped her like I am getting with these videos. Thank you so much for your videos. 🥰
I'm really sorry to hear about your dementia. Thank you for sharing your experience crocheting, I'm in my twenties and learning to crochet for the first time. Its so wonderful feeling connected to people of all ages with this craft. I wish you all the best!
Such a useful tip, thank you. The slant seam always annoys me and it is the first thing I tend to notice when looking at a finished project so I'm glad there is a way of eliminating that!
Wire an I ever glad to see these great techniques. I've never been happy with my connecting rows and that diagonal Seam running up the side so obvious. Thanks for sharing. I'm using it right now on my project.
This is the BEST video I’ve seen on doing the invisible join. Your video was so easy to understand and you described each step perfectly! Thank you so much. I thought I was never going to learn how to do this method. ♥️♥️♥️
How Sweet of you to share this with us, I have been crocheting for a long while and have not seen this before. I am going to be crocheting my Very First Southwestern Designs Afghan and I may need to know this technique. Thank you so much.
This is fantastic thank you. 😊 I especially appreciate how you carry on for a few rounds as I have cognitive problems (learning new things is a huge task for me now) but it seems to make more sense each round. Perfect!
I really do love this .I have got to give this a try. I make hats a Lot so like you said it will be difficult to see the seam sweet😁😍😜 Oh I must tell lady you are a great teacher. Now I have something priceless to show others too. Much thanks.
I started an amigurumi project and wasn’t happy with the travelling seam. I frogged quite a bit and starting looking for tutorials on the seamless join. After many attempts trying out different versions, I came to yours, and, boom! It worked out perfectly! Thanks a million for sharing this technique. Your tutorials are really awesome. (Subscribed already)!🙏💐❤️
In 50 years of crocheting, I've never seen this technique. It's brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you, Marian! I'm so glad it was helpful to you!
This is going to be a game changer for me! Thank you!! I'm a perfectionist, so the slant seams drive me nuts!
You're welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Perfect!! No matter what I did the seam was crooked. Thank you for solving my mystery.😁
You're welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful to you! (More videos on this technique coming soon!)
I'm a lefty and I'm just not getting it. Do you have a video on this for lefties?
Hi Cathy. I do not yet have a version of this video for lefties, but there is a way to flip the video so it will appear left handed. If you set your device up in front of a mirror so the screen faces the mirror, then you can watch the video in the mirror and it will be reversed. I hope this helps!
49 years crocheting & I've never run across any pattern where they use this method. This is going to create much nicer looking projects !
You've just made history in the world of Crocheters!!! That was amazing, a million times thank you!!
Thank you! :D I'm glad it was helpful!
I've tried to learn this technique before and couldn't seem to get it well enough to see the point of it. Yet I got it first try from following your video. So clear and helpful! Thank you!
That is the best demonstration of the chainless starting DC I've ever seen. And I've watched a lot. Also the join looks so great. THANKS!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Kathleen!
I AGREE 100%!!! :-)
Thank you!
I totally agree as well! Very well done!
Thanks so much!
Not only is this a brilliant way to solve a frustrating problem, YOU are an amazing teacher! I really enjoy how thoroughly you explain things. Not just what to do, but what NOT to do in comparison! Thank you! I love your crochet videos!

BEAUTIFUL! it's so incredibly helpful, I hate the gaps when using the chain 2/3 as your first DC stitch of the round
I LOVE This! I just pulled out an entire beanie I made because I didn't like the seam! This is great! Thank you.
Thank you so much!! I've been crocheting for 18 years and making projects in the round is what I do most.... 😅 this part of crocheting, how to join and make it look nice, was the only thing that I felt like I was doing wrong the whole time, but wasn't sure how to word it in order to Google it, as I'm mostly self taught.
