The double-ended crochet hook pick-up-two stitches-and-twist faux seam worked perfectly. The seams are tight and flat, but can stretch with the fabric. Even the inside of the seam looks pretty. I never knew it was possible to get excited about a seam, but I’m so excited about this technique! Now I don’t have to feel shifty when I read all those “In Praise of Seams” type articles, knowing all the time that I will never ever knit something that requires being sewn together. I can knit in the round and put the seam in later, even if the yarn’s not strong enough to sew with. So happy!
Hi! If I wanted to make the faux seam as part of a design, for example if I do knit 10, then the faux seam, al around the body, do you know if the faux seam is not stretchable? Would it be a problem throughout the body? Thank you!
Did you ever receive an answer? I have knitted a sweater in separate pieces and want to do it again but in the round. I was thinking about a different pattern where the sides should be.
Drop a stitch "on accident"? For countless hundreds of years, probably since the beginning of English, it has been "by accident." I defy you to find the expression "on accident" in a book -- a novel, a non-fiction, whatever. It does NOT MAKE ANY SENSE. Just not a book self-published by a young person from wherever you are from, which I am going to guess is California, which I think is the source of "I am bored of..." instead of "bored by" or "bored with," and "based off of" instead of "based on." New world order? I can't help but wonder who introduced all of these ridiculous new nonsensical expressions all at once. And I would happily place a bet that you cannot make your predicates agree with your subjects. You probably don't even know what a predicate is. But that isn't your fault, it is the fault of whoever is in charge of education where you live, which, it seems, oh so woefully, is these new world order a--holes who want to demolish English, turn it into a language that has no sense to it. Sort of like teaching kids that two plus two DOES NOT equal four!

superb technique! I especially like how it looks on the right side. Thanks!
Great tutorial. This will come in handy one day after I finish my first sweater. Can't wait to get my Fix-a-Stitch tool. Thanks Sasha!
celiarose Thank you! We love the Fix-A-Stitch here at Stitch Space…so handy!
This is a great tutorial. Can one also use a crochet hook? And can one pick up one stitch instead of two, when seaming up?
Thanks! Do you use this on sleeves as well?
Does it stop the garment twisting on the wearer?
wonderful ... does this have any impact either way on the dimensions? More room, less room?
Thanks for this tutorial! A question: this technique can be work on two stichtes instead of one?
