- Crochet Circle Join, Invisible Join for Tapestry Crochet, Amigurumi
The Circle Join is easiest done with Clover Crochet Hooks amzn.to/2K7k4QZ because of their slightly larger, padded handles and super glide shaft.
The Crochet Circle Join (also called the Invisible Join) is used to close the gap between rows when crocheting in the round. It makes for a more professional look when doing Amigurumi, Tapestry Crochet Design Work, creating colorwork designs on hats, socks, or anything that you create in the round.
I learned how to do this in 1970 (as a freshman in highschool). One of the ‘clubs’ that was held after school was a Crochet Club. During the first club meeting they were teaching how to make School Color Themed Socks (here’s to the the green and gold). My first club project to make a pair of socks (and we each got a nifty patch to put on our socks too).
A while later, when I learned Tapestry Crochet (and back loop design work) I truly fell in love with the Crochet Circle Join. Back loop Tapestry Crochet wasn’t very popular than, and I have to thank the second club I belonged to for teaching this skill to me when no books were really showing it. I was told that the technique could be traced back to the roaring 20s and the cloche hats. I never looked up, but it’s nice to think that it has history.
** SHOW NOTES & RESOURCES **
1. The Crochet Hook I used during the video was a D 3.25 mm, Clover Crochet Hook. I started using Clover Crochet Hooks shortly after my hand surgery and I truly believe they are part of what’s kept me crocheting. amzn.to/2K7k4QZ
2. The yarn I used was Caron Simply Soft, 100% Acrylic, Worsted Weight in Lemon Yellow, and Blue Mint.

This is an amazing video in so many ways. I've spent the past 3 days looking for a solution to my problem and finally I found it! Not only is your footage of crocheting extremely clear, you're a natural performer. The intro is concise and shows your joy for teaching crocheting. Please continue to make videos like this, so, SO helpful!
Thank you SO MUCH, Katie. 3 days, wow. I'm glad I could help.
I’m making teddy bears for Samaritan’s Purse and have tried to find how to change the colours. This is the only video that makes sense. Thank you
💯💯👋👋👍👍🌹🌹
So awesome!!!!
I giggled when I saw the bobby pin- that’s exactly what I use! They work great! 😊
As I'm making videos I'm learning there are a lot of folks that use bobby pins. I'm glad you giggled. 😊
Me too ❤️
I am now! I was using fish hook earrings but they slipped off a lot. Bobby-pins are the best!
Hahaha, i felt related , i use it a lot , very smart idea 😄✨
Thank you so much for taking the time to show people how to do this. I have no idea where I would be without this kind of stuff right now. Thank you
I've watched several videos on this and this is the *only* video I found that was so well-explained! You're such a patient and incredible teacher! I wish I stumbled on this before my recent project, but at least my uneven line is going to be hidden for this project. But my next? I'm using this technique! And your demeanour really brightened my morning! :D I needed that bright spot to my day!
The masters share their secrets. Thank you.
I've never been called a master before. I actually had to read this to one of my friends. Thank you kindly (I've been smiling since I read this.)😊
Very well done- you speak clearly, at a good pace and without a lot of useless blather, or annoying music and noise in background. lighting and Camara angle really good, demo and tips excellent. THANK YOU ! Please make more, you’re a real pro!
Thank you SO MUCH
This is a wonderful technique. Am using it in a Japanese Knot Bag with stripes and I love it - no jogs! Can’t wait to use it in my amigurumi projects. What a game changer. Thank you.
You explained this so well. Best video ever. Now my rounds with color changes look great. Thank you.
OMG! You're just a genious! I'm crocheting my first amigurumi and I wasn't pleased with the change colour, but your tutorial is so easy and the result so perfect! It is absolutely unnoticiable!
Hi Sandy, you are an amazing teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
i have only been crocheting for about 6 months, followed lots of tutorials as well as a friend showing me. This tutorial helped clear up a lot of stress i had trying to change colour and join my circle seamlessly in the round. Clearly explained, easy to follow. Thank you for saving me!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! It's very clear and easy to follow. Thanks also for showing full loops and back loops only!
I had no idea this was possible. Thank you so much for opening my eyes about the circle join. Can’t wait to use what I have learned from you.
Life saver! Just ripped out hours of work on a yoga mat bag because the pattern was so ugly not lining up and the instructions never explained how to make this right. THANK YOU! Once more into the fray!
Thanks so much Sandy Marie!
Thank you,you have been very helpful, I’m just starting out, I have been a victim of abuse, and your use of this word does not bother me in the least, I am looking forward to learning more from you in the future. I like the way you take your time to explain, thank you again and have a very happy and save new year
Never heard of a circle join until i watched this vid. Cant wait to give this a try tomorrow
Oh my goodness, Sandy, I think you just stepped my doppelgänger dolls up one hellofa notch!! Thank you SO much for this video!!!!
I am SO GLAD that I've been able to help. Sometimes it's the little tricks that make BIG difference. 😀😊
I'm so glad I found you! Your teaching technique is perfect! I have been having such a hard time making this basket with color changes. Your video cleared it up for me!
Great top tip! I will now try this - thanks so much.
Thank you ! I'm a new crocheter and this tutorial is priceless to me.
Thank you a million. 65+ years of knitting & crocheting and FINALLY I get it.... the circle join!! And the bobby pin is genious!
I'm so glad I could help. At 65+ years of crafting, you have me beat :-)
I absolutely love your video. It has helped me tremendously. I still need to refine it but I am really pleased with the difference it’s made in my amigurumi.
That was fantastic, Sandy. You blew my mind!
I have been crocheting for 35 years and always hated the color change on the row change I hate how it looks I also don’t like how when you do it that way the starting point for the row moves this keeps it straight thank you so much for this
Thank you for those wonderful tips. I will be "abusing" my stitches accordingly. Got you on my subscriptions list.
LOL, I couldn't think of another word. That happens when I get in front of the camera. Abuse away! 😉
I LOVED your video. You are so warm and interesting to watch and listen to. Thanks!!!
Thank YOU for the sweet comment.
Thanks a lot, you're the best one in explaning how to change the colors. I had a look to different videos, but could not find one with a real invisible change. Now I am happy and I can continue with my work. Sorry for bad english. 😘
It was amazing! I love the way you explain stuff, you leave no space for misunderstanding. I'm a beginner but I got it with no problem.
Really enjoyed your video. I've been crocheting for 16 years and have never liked the continuous spiral patterns people create for amigurumi besides for heads. I'm constantly "fixing" patterns I find to fit my own opinion of what looks better. Nice to see someone who also thinks "outside the box" and has so much experience. :)
It's crocheters like you who make me proud. Never stop trying to "fix" things and make them better. Thank you for posting comment. 😊
As I can't speak or write English, I used the Google translator. I apologize for the errors. Just to thank and congratulate your explanation of the "famous step" in crochet work where colors are changed. It was the best explanation I found. Thank you from Brazil.
I am thankful that you found this video so helpful. I thank YOU for taking the time to write.
Thank you for that very clear explanation. I'm teaching myself to crochet and have already taken a hate for those jagged lines you get from colour changes. Thanks to you, I'm gonna look like a pro!
Thank YOU for the compliment and welcome to an addictive craft.
I am soooo happy I stumbled over this technique,, nice clean lines for amigurumi!
Thank you - very clear instructions - I will be back for more!!!!!🤗🤗🤗
Love the last method, thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you for this video! Your instruction is nice and clear , I had not heard of the close circle stitch. This does make a nicer appearance in a hat I am going to try this tip next.!
Thank you so very much for creating this video! You are so good at teaching us how to do the Invisible Join! I hope you have been doing well since you made this video a few years ago.
I have been primarily using full loop crochet for amigurumi but after seeing how smooth the color transition was with backloop crochet I am eager to experiment with it. Thank you, this was incredibly informative 😊
The Circle Join does work with both full loop and back loop. Try both and see how you like it. Just remember that, even when doing back loop, the circle join is still done in the full stitch. I'm so glad you found this video informative.
I always do full loop simply because I've never seen back loop before! I've been crocheting for almost 20 years and I still have so much to learn!
Do a search for Mocilla Bag and you'll see what back loop looks like. I also think there's a Facebook group that teaches how to make the Mocilla Bags. :-)
Thank you, Sandy! This is going to take my crochet items to the next level.
You're very welcome. There's a lot of little tips like this that really help in big ways. One of my goals is to get all of them out there.
I mainly do Amigurumi so I use single crochet mostly - thank you sandy - great video 👏👏
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I am 6 years into crocheting and this is excellent knowledge! Love it!
Thank you so much for your kind compliment.
The best tutorial to changing colors that I could have found! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much. You've made my day. :-)
Thank you. Fabulous teacher!!! extremely well done, easy to follow, instructions clear, visuals clearly presented. Thank you. I will watch everyday as a reminder.
Oh my, thank you so much. You've made my day.
Fantastic method of joining and so easy too. Thank you for sharing.
ive tried so many different color change tutorial, and in so glad i watched this one. I finally got it!
I'm SO GLAD this one helped you.
This is the best colour change tutorial, I’ve watched lots of videos and this is definitely the best easy and very effective 👍🏻🧶🧶🧶🧶thank you 😀
I never ever comment on RUclips videos, but you just melted my heart with the bobby-pin!!!!! That’s what I use lol! And I use the same blue needles.
Thank you for the amazing video, you helped me a lot. I just finished my amigurumi toy today and it looks all jacked up, but thanks to you I can try again and fix the color changes!
Well, thank you. I bet that amigurumi toy is going to look awesome when you're done.
Thank you for your video!! You are really good to explaining how to do the change colour in an amigurumi
Thank you for this video! I've watched a couple other 'invisible' colour change videos but they all seemed so complicated... your method is really simple and easy to do! xx
You're very welcome. I'm so glad I was able to help :-)
Thank you so much! I'm making my first amigurumi mini pig! For my father in law for his birthday! It's back and white and I've never needed to do the perfect color change before! Looks complicated but you make it so simple with ur directions!! Greatly appreciated 💜
You are very welcome. :-)
Such a good and thorough explanation. Thank you.
Hi Me Me! Beautiful socks, lovely colorway and stitch pattern. Lovely happy mail from Edna. Thanks for sharing. Take care.❤️❤️
I have been searching for this technique for ages. This is the best out there and it actually works. Thank you very much. Brilliant! xxx
I'm glad it helps you. Thank you, very much, for your nice comment.
Thank you Sandy, for a very clear explanation, I have been struggling with this.
I’m very new to this and I’m crocheting a “sock sack” and it’s the first thing I’ve ever crocheted in the round. Thank you for the very good tutorial.
You'll do just fine. And you are very welcome.
Al fin alguien se tomó el trabajo y la paciencia de explicarlo súper bien para nosotras las principiantes, lo he comprendido y no es mi idioma, gracias, gracias.
An awesome tutorial. Thank you Sandy. I am starting to apply your tricks to my projects and of course they are looking better than ever. THANK YOU!!
Thank you, Fatima. I'm so glad things are working for you. :-)
wish I saw this before starting my hat 😢 thank you! Think I'll restart and circle join. It looks so much better
Finally I found you. This is so helpful and have subscribed instantly. You’re a fantastic teacher and offer so much help for some of us trying to master this craft.
Thank you so much and look forward to watching other training videos.
I’m looking for one on color changes and Bobbles LOL, I can’t seem to get my colors to NOT show through 😂
Omgg a bobby pin as a stitch marker is soo genius
Just purchased my first book on tapestry crochet and I am finally getting the courage to start. Your tutorial made it easy for me to see the difference between a visible and an invisible join. Loved the bobby pin, I use paper clips. Keep the videos coming.
Your first book on tapestry crochet, what an adventure. Be careful or you'll be hooked for life, lol. I'm glad I was able to help. The bobby pin started decades ago. Bread wrapper closing tabs work pretty well too. :-)
Your technique borders on Genius. My only regret is, I wish I'd seen your video years ago. Colour changes have always been a rather big obstacle to overcome, and I've ALWAYS tripped over where the colour changes are in my finished project. I LOVE THIS BRILLIANT AND HOBBY CHANGING SOLUTION! I now cruise through the changes with your technique and ABSOLUTELY love the final result! A BIG THANK YOU to you! BTW I love your voice. It's perfect and very pleasant. Easy to understand too. Also, no "fluff" added---goes right to the subject!👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, thank you for such an easy way of changing colours in the round. I have tried another way of doing this, however, I found quite complicated and difficult to manage. I tried your pattern last night and it turned out really well. Again many thanks. God bless
You are very welcome.
You are such a great teacher/tutor. 🤗 Your tutorials are so comprehensive & clear. I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for your effort & work. God bless you. 🙏🏾
Thank you, SO Much, Melani.
Thank you I have been crocheting off and on for 18 years and have just started making toys. I normally make hats scarves and Afghans. This is helpful for me. The first you I made is all one color so you can’t tell to much.
Enjoy. I wish RUclips allowed pictures, in comments. I'd love to see your work.
Such a good tutorial. Your teaching style is so clear. Thank you!
Thank you, Russell. Your comment makes my day! 😀
I haven’t had to do this yet but if I need to you’ve shown me how it’s done. Thank you. By the way you had me completely hooked at your introduction
Thank you. I've been out due to COVID so it was nice to come back to happy people. I'm glad the introduction grabbed you, lol.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I had no idea about a circle join !! I love to crochet Amigurumi and this will improve it no end.
Thank you too for a really clear description of what you were doing. Brilliant 👍👍
Thank YOU for such a nice comment. :-)
Just found you! Liked and subbed! Recently picked up crochet as my arthritic fingers can no longer manage the dp knitted socks I love! Now I'm going to do a million afghans before I check out! Every tip helps! Thanks!
Just want to say that you explained things very clearly. I hadn't come across the circle join before, handy to know for future projects! I'm going to watch your other videos for more useful crochet tips. Thank you.
You're very welcome. Glad I could help.
This is great. Thank you for your very helpful tips.
Me encanto tu técnica,felicitaciones,te escribo del sur del continente Americano,Chile,un abrazo para ti❤
Thanks for the master class!
Thank you for this tutorial it help me so much and you are a excellent teacher ❤️
Wow that’s so clever! Thank you very much!!
Thank you! This makes such a beautiful, flawless color change.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The more you practice the better it looks.
Ha! Bobby pins -- how smart! Thx for sharing this method. Bothers me even on solids to have that uneveness.
Glad you liked the Bobby Pins thing, lol. It bothers me too.
This is the BEST video for this technique that I have seen.
Thank you very much! :-)
Thank you for making this video. Sometimes you just have to go that extra mile in order to get the look that you want instead of "oh well". Many years ago a kind crocheter quickly taught me how to join the rows on a hat that I was doing. I had never thought about what she taught me in minutes (on the bus). I never forgot that lesson because I had made dozens of hats without doing the invisible join. I also saw how to decrease without leaving a gaping hole in the work. I laughed and laughed at how I decreased, but, it did work, it's just that it didn't look perfect and you could see what was done real easy. I'm a visual learner and these videos are just what the doctor ordered. You helped to bring back my joy of crocheting. Thank you again for sharing with us.
Juanita, I can't thank you enough for this very kind comment. You are very welcome. And I thank you for sharing your story. I love getting to know the people who are watching.
Thank you, I'm starting a mosaic blanket and in the pattern after every round it called for an invisible join and I didn't know what that was and you explain it so perfectly
Oh my, a Mosaic Blanket! I sure wish there was a way to share pictures here on RUclips comments. I'd love to see it. You are welcome and I'm glad the video helped you.
Wow, this is excellent! Very professional indeed! Thank you very much for this helpful technique that I will apply to my future crochet projects.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. It made it very easy to understand! I've been doing amigurumi for a bit now and this will help it look just that bit better 😊 Recently I've tried doing back loop single crochet for amigurumi and have really been enjoying how it looks!
Thank you, SO MUCH, for letting me know you're enjoying both the circle join and back loop. It really warms my heart to know people are using things like this.
You are an amazing teacher..Thank you from Atlanta, Ga
Thank you for the wonderful comment.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is kind of you to do this, especially after having hand surgery. I wish you and your loved ones well.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I use a drop earring to stitch mark lol ,but I love your bobby pin too. I hope to finish my Amigurumi Bumble Bee with even stripes now. Thank you for taking the time to share your creative experience. Hope to see more Videos Sandy Happy New Year🐝🧶🎉🎊
I cannot thank you enough for this video! I was making Christmas Gnomes for my Daughter-in-law for Christmas. The legs are circular striped red and green, the pattern calls for continuous rounds. When it came to the legs I was lamenting over how messy they looked with the jaggedness. I was going through videos and yours came up. My Daughter-in law may be getting her present late but with your help it went from ho hum to awesome. Thank you again!
You are SO welcome. I love hearing what people are doing with this and I'm so glad you are happy with how YOUR work is turning out. :-)
Thank you so much for this well done tutorial! It goes at a perfect pace and the camera shows the technique very clearly! One of the best videos I've seen in a long time!
Thank you, so much, for your wonderful words. You've really made my day. :-)
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial Sandy-Maree. In answer to your questions, I mainly crochet amigurumi so the majority of my crochet is in the round. However, I am learning to make mochila bags and your tutorial has made my colour changes so much neater!!
You're Welcome. I love crochet in the round. I'm so glad this has helped you.
Thank you so much for the very detailed sharing, as a beginner, it help so much ❤
Just found this! Great join. Thanks❤
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I don't know you but I feel that I want to give you a big hug for making this video!!!
Hugs are always welcome. {{{hugs}}} 😀😊👍
Great tutorial. Thank you. This 'invisible join method is something I've wanted to know about since I began crocheting.
Glad I could help. :-)
the most helpful video ever wow thank you
Talented LADY! WOW!
Thank you, :-)
Thanks for the info and your positive nature!
You are very welcome. :-)
Thank you for this, I have searched high and low for a method that won't jog every time I join!!! Clearly explained and well illustrated. Love from Christine in China.
I'm so happy this has helped you. Thank YOU for the compliment.
@@CrochetFiberArt I had been watching countless videos on this and this is the only method that ACTUALLY WORKS!!! Now my amigurumi will look beautiful thanks to your method.
@@christinedownes4799 Awww, thank you. I'm so glad this works for you.
Very good explained video, I do a lot of Mochila crochet, back loop only, so this video is very useful, thank you 😊
Você é incrível, técnica perfeita. Obrigada 😘
Your video was perfect, the pace, the technique, the explanation. Thank you so much! Hugs🤗
Wow, thank you for the compliment. That sure makes my day
