Seaming a Crochet Sweater

- Last week, I offered you a mission to make all the pieces of the Xanadu sweater and then join me later when I show you how to seam a sweater and how to sew on ribbing to the body of the sweater.
By this point in the Xanadu sweater making process you have made all 5 parts of the sweater, Front, Back, 2 Sleeves and the Ribbing. It is time to begin seaming!
In the Marly Bird RUclips video for the Xanadu sweater ( • Xanadu Crochet Pullover ) I approached the tutorial differently in that I don't actually crochet along with you.
In the Marly Bird RUclips video for the Seaming of the sweater I show you how to do it!
I walk you through how to prepare the pieces before you seam them.
I offer suggestions to help you keep the pieces lined up for a better seam.
I show you the slip stitch join and the mattress stitch.
Now, you are ready to seam your sweater together.

Marly, even 8 years after you posted this, yours is the only tutorial on how to seam a sweater together. I could probably word my search many different ways and possibly find more but why do that. Yours would be the best so thank you!
I just got my first paid pattern and im so used to having a tutorial for a free pattern, but now I have no videos. This helped me figure out what the pattern was trying to tell me lol thank you so much for this tutorial
About to sew up my first piece of crochet clothing. Thank you so mu. Very well explained.
Very easy to follow and understand. Thank you for posting this. I have watched others but I think your is the easy to understand.
This is SO helpful! I’m doing a frankensweater (put aside for 2 years and haven’t much of a clue what I had done) and had an entirely different thinking about assembling it…..I’m going to do it this way….tytytytytytyty!
Thanks for posting this! I couldn't figure out the sleeve.....seeing it put in clears it all up! ....Vicki
Thanks Marley for this information on the mattress stitch very helpful.
Enjoyed your video. You are one of two whose RUclips videos I watch because they are so well done. Thanks for your time invested to help others.
Excellent advice
Great video for seaming. your a great teacher
Thank you for this lesson. It’s awesome!
Thank you Marly and Red Heart!
Thank you SO much for this video! I was very worried about messing up a sweater I was making for my husband and it came out great 🙂 I love all your videos and can't wait for the next one 💕
THANK YOU soooooo-MUCH!!!!
Nice. Been looking for a crochet stitch and top like this, thanks for your cool explanations..I will make it without the ribbing :)
Thank you so much...I went through a few videos before I discovered yours and found it really helpful.
Very helpful video by the way!
Hi...Instead of the clips you are using , I use the tiny Butterfly Claws/Clips that you can find in the Hair Accessory Section of most stores. I do know CVS sells them. They look just like the ones you are using here, except they have three claws instead of one. You can also buy in bulk from eBay and Etsy. That’s where I get mine. I still use them in my hair too.
HI Jennifer,
Yes, I have used those as well. However, I have found that sometimes the bulk of the three prongs makes my fabric wonky so I prefer the one prong that can fit easily through the stitches. :-)
Merry Christmas
Marly
I crochet a perfect garment, I fudge it up by seaming too tight☹could be because the designer instructed me to sc the seam? Well, thank you I will attempt this again today.
I'd say those mini clips, or something similar, are indeed mandatory prior to setting in the sleeves. They are not optional if you want a good result with minimal grief. Anyway, that's a real nice sweater!
Also, to illustrate your technique it might have been helpful to use a highly contrasting yarn to seam with, such as white or light gray. The pink provides no contrast and it is not that easy to see the stitches.
Hi there, yes. I agree. This was one of the first videos I did on RUclips. I've learned since then.
very informative .... about how to seam a seleve which i never knew before... can you plz tell what crochette stich the sweater is made up of?
+zille huma It is a single crochet/double crochet combination. There is another video on this channel showing how to make the sweater.
what is the best way to match both sleeves when using ombré or variegated colorways? thanks for vid tut👍🏼🧶🧶🧶
start at the same color on both balls of yarn.
Marly Bird thank you for the speedy reply! i need to buy more yarn😉
when measuring the gauge---does the double crochet and single crochet count as one stitch? I have never figure out how to gauge in crochet---just in knitting
i see u use slip stitch technique on shoulders, can u slip stitch on seaming the rest of the pieces/parts too?
Hello. I have crocheted a sleeveless top and love it BUT the sides are too large. Can I fix this or do I need to undo the entire project?
Hi, Would it be a good idea to use this technique for knitted pieces too?
did you block your sweater pieces prior to doing the seaming?
+Robin Lipton Yes. I like to block before seaming all the time.
Wish you used solid color yarn. This is very hard to follow
didn't hold the sweater up at all so we can see your beautiful creation
pippa Buckley I know Pippa, I couldn't hold up the blue and green sweater due to the green screen behind me. BUT, you can see the piece in the images I've added to the notes on my blog :-)
