I prefer continuous rounds better. First, because there is no seam, but also it's just easier for me. I tried joined rounds and it just doesn't look as good for continuous rounds.
I primarily make amigurumi, so a large percentage of my work is in continuous rounds. If you stagger your increases and decreases as well, so they're not all in the same place, you end up with a really uniform-looking toy from any angle.
I usually slipstitch into the last stitch of the row and then chain 1. Then cut off a short tail and pull it through the chain, and then weave it into the work
Thank You for this information as I didn’t know the two differences by name as most patterns don’t say joined circle or continuous circle in the special part where they mention the stitches and stitch variations and mention what the letters mean. If I could correctly do a circle on my own by memory and make up my own pattern I would in the special section put “This is done using continuous round so you will need a stitch marker.” Or “This is done using joined round. Also the circles start with magic circle or center pull. I also don’t know if I should do center pull or magic circle. If I knew this I would be able to do my own circle patterns. I have done both with a pattern. If I could do continuous round into a potholder with cotton yarn or a bath rug with Bernat yarn which is polyester or a blanket without a pattern that would be awesome. Or If there are continuous round patterns with potholder Bath rug Blanket I would love to have those patterns. But I think most potholder patterns, bath rug patterns and blanket patterns are all joined rounds. I love circles. Love continuous round for rugs and mats since I step in the mat and rug.
Thanks for the info! :D I’m new to crochet and I’ve been seeing these terms here and there and nowhere else did I see what the difference between the two was
Hey I’m a beginner and I don’t make many things but I practice a lot. Can you guys give me some ideas that are not to crazy or big but small and useful items that can help with my crochet skills. Thanks 😊
I have an amigurumi pattern that i think was supposed to be done in joined rounds since it does mention doing the slip stitch in the instructions, but i completely ignored it. Everything is fine so far, though the head might be a little flat on top but that could be caused by uneven tension
You don’t actually need a stitch marker for continuous rounds, they can make it easier for beginners but there are lots of tricks and patterns you can use to know where the round starts and ends.
If u are talking about joined rounds u just have to follow the pattern ofthe first row aka the sc in mr(magic ring/magic loop) and slip stich into the first stich of the row now u have finished ur first row once u did that u do a chain and do the stiches that you have to do in the same stich as the one you slip stich in and just follow the pattern as usuall once you did that you just slip stich back to the first stich of the row and chain one and just follow the pattern as usual and thats it hope it helps❤❤
How do you make a flat round without it looking like a hexagon? I can’t figure out when and how to increase the rounds…I prefer the continuous round…What is the key to increasing?
You could try staggering/alternating your increases. What people usually do is Inc Sc inc Sc x2 inc Sc x3 inc Sc x4 inc Which makes the increases build on each other giving that hexagon look. Try Inc Sc inc Sc inc sc Sc x3 inc Sc sc inc sc sc Probably not perfect but definitely not as Hexagonal (This is for usual Amigarumi patterns)
I've always wondered why one would do the joined rounds when you can just keep going, both in a flat circle as shown and also up the sides of a basket. The only think I could figure out is that when you're done spiraling, it is hard to hide the "bump" of the last stitch, whereas a slipstitched join blends right in to the row. Are there other reasons?
Hi! I’m a beginner crocheter and when I was crocheting I noticed I had pretty big holes. So then I undid every thing to how it started but it looks like the it has loops (kinda like an upside down U) I don’t know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix it. (I am doing a Wooble kit).

I completely agree!
I love using my stitch markers for a good use

I always crochet in continuous rounds. I like the finished look, and it looks so professional.
I like to use joint rounds sometimes when I change my collars a lot but normally I work in the round.
Could you please tell how to cleanly finish off a continuous round circle?
I know it's late but I slip stitch into the next stitch and it looks good then just knot or weave the ends 😊

Bath rug
Blanket
I would love to have those patterns.
But I think most potholder patterns, bath rug patterns and blanket patterns are all joined rounds.
I love circles. Love continuous round for rugs and mats since I step in the mat and rug.
What are some reasons to use each? I’ve never understood the point of joining rounds if I can just keep going in a continuous spiral :)
I started off learning about joined rounds.... Yeah pretty much messed me up until I found out that there's a continuous round?!
Thanks for the info! :D I’m new to crochet and I’ve been seeing these terms here and there and nowhere else did I see what the difference between the two was
I dont mind either method as tend to join so as not to make a slanted seam But always love to hear how others work their crochet

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been crocheting, a stitch marker is the best tool to use for continuous rounds
Not using a stitch marker in rounds is sure fire way for me to lose my place!! They are absolutely a necessity!
Definitely prefer continuous rounds
Lol I didn't even realise the first one existed, i saw a couple of tutorials and started doing the continuous without any questions 😅
Thank you so much it really helped
Depends on what I'm doing! Both have their uses😊
Can you name some? I haven’t found any in this thread n would love to know how they’re used differently
Yes but how do you do it :,)

@@mallowpuffs9046 what about continuous?
How do you make a flat round without it looking like a hexagon? I can’t figure out when and how to increase the rounds…I prefer the continuous round…What is the key to increasing?
You could try staggering/alternating your increases. What people usually do is
Inc
Sc inc
Sc x2 inc
Sc x3 inc
Sc x4 inc
Which makes the increases build on each other giving that hexagon look. Try
Inc
Sc inc

Sc x3 inc
Sc sc inc sc sc
Probably not perfect but definitely not as Hexagonal

@@SkyFlame27 thank you! I will try it!

I prefer continuous rounds
I prefer using joined rounds
Just because it's easier to count for me
But the seam does bother me

So when you're doing the continuing round were you had your marker is that where you do your double?
Why do you have to use a stich marker? All you did was waste time taking it off and putting it back. I'm just wondering the significance. :)
I think it’s just so you don’t lose track of where the round started? It’s not necessary but it does make it easier for me personally :D

I could teach you a way to hide that joined round.
