Best quality-of-life mod I've seen for my projects. Wish I had seen this before I made a beanie for my son last week. Well, his next one will be new AND improved. Thanks so much!
Been battling with that awful seam the whole week - your video is a game changer, thank you ♥. Will be starting a beanie tomorrow so please wish me luck. I popped over to your site and had a look around and see you are in Nova Scotia. I have just come back to Cape Town after a six month visit to Mahone Bay and surrounds. I would have dearly loved to meet you and take you out for coffee or a meal. I have used your videos and tutorials so many times xx
I have been looking all around the internet on the best way to avoid a seam, and this video was the best solution out there!! Especially explaining how to level out at the end! This is crochet life changing!!!
Mikey rules! Love your videos. Proud that you are Canadian too. Thanks for this and all your work.
Mikey! You are absolutely the #1 best person to learn anything about crocheting from! Ever since I have following your tutorials and utilizing your little tips, my crochet project's have been turning out top notch. Thank you God for sending us our "Mikey Angel"😇 to the wonderful world of crochet! 💖
What a lovely Testimonial Michelle... Thanks for your vote of confidence!
Hey mikey,
You share information, you help us learn, . You have great value to your viewers. Who cares what you look like. You care enough to be the one of the people on RUclips to give us lessons.
Great method, and great teaching! The use of the yarn as a continuous stitch marker is very useful too.
Your videos are the best. Thanks for sharing your talents.
That darn seam line! Gone forever! Thanks so much for sharing your tips and "cheats" with us. I thought that seeing my seam line was a sign that I didn't get the instructions properly. Again, a thousand thanks!!
Seam lines bug me too, and this is the best video ever. I have marked it as a favorite. Thanks Mikey I learn so much from you!
so adorable, our Mikey.
Thanks for working this out. I dislike the seam line too, and that's kept me from crocheting hats. You get the problem solver award!
Thank you. This is so helpful.
OMG this is absolutely amazing, i never would have thought of this! I absolutely hate the seam on normal patterns!!!
I dislike seamlines too.
Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to make better hats with no seam. This really helps!
Thanks Mickey, those seam lines have been bugging me too for over 50 years, sometimes I used the spiral but did not know how to obtain a clean end. You are such a special human being, thanks for helping us lesser creatures. Much love.
Thank you! You are not the only one who wishes to live without those ugly seams. Great video! 😉
Hurray!! I love this! I can’t take that seam line either. Thank you so much 🥳
You do not look like a geek! I think you are cute. You are an awesome crochet teacher!
Ok....now I have watched you again, and I'm trying to do it right, but I can't keep up/remember, but that's my problem, (my memory). I'll keep at it, and hopefully, I'll get it eventually. You are a great narrator. You're only the 2nd one I've truly enjoyed when finding new ideas to make whatever I'm working on something I'm proud of.
Hopefully you were able to get the information you needed. Have a wonderful day.
@@TheCrochetCrowd Thank you....and THANK YOU!!! I wish the same for you!
You have no idea how much that line vexes me. Thank you for providing a solution.
Great tip, thank you! Gorgeous sunny day here in Auckland New Zealand, sitting on the terras drinking my coffee and watching my cat ruining my ball of wool!
Mikey, I have been crocheting for 55 years and I thought I was the only one who did the spiral for hats, because I too really, really, really hate seam lines. However, I always ended up with the seam line until I finished increasing because I could never keep track. Now I feel really silly that I didn't think about making a stitch marker. Such a simple thing, but it will change the look of my hats forever. Thank you, Thank you. BTW, I love, love, love your Facebook group, the Crowd Stitch Social. (facebook.com/groups/TheCrochetCrowdStitchSocial/) What an amazing bunch of crocheters. I've been on a lot of crocheting groups before, but yours is the best.
Thank you so much for this Mikey! I needed to find something to make a couple hats for a friend's daughters without seams and this fits the bill! Now to find how to change colors when I get to the last few rows to make a "brim".
Thank you for this instruction! I hate the seams showing. You’ve given the solution. 🤩
This is SO HELPFUL. Thank you, Mikey!
Genius! I am going to rip the hat I started apart and re-do it using this method. I can’t stand the seam line and the holes from the chain stitches! Thanks Mikey!
Makes two of us. It drives me insane.
I just love you Mikey, AND, I cannot wrap this magic ring thing around my head, so, I'm going to watch yours over and over til I get it cause you have never failed me in anything I have made from your videos. I'm going to get it yet. My fingers go "wonky" every time I try the ring, so, here goes.
I've tried and tried the magic ring and can't get it to work for me. I probably just need more practice but I'm an impatient person
Thank you so much Nooo more seams.
I have been trying to figure out, exactly what you just showed on how to get back the stitches, with no seam showing Thank you.
I just love you lil trick on the end of the round..😀
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I had that crazy curved line on my berets and I am goin to try this on my next one! I love how you equal/even out the line at the end.
What a brilliant tip, I am going to remake my hats using your method, thank you for showing us.
GREAT tip...thank you 🧶🧶🧶😊
Thank you for sharing this. I have been making hats for a year now and often would tear apart because I hated that damn seam line.
Thank you so much for sharing this tip - you're wonderful!
Very nice and very creative .I like the look much better. Thank you
I make lots of hats and scarfs. So this is very helpful!
thank you..
I'm new at crocheting and now I'm working on a ton of hats and like you the seam line is really annoying, I was thinking of changing them all to spiral but was not sure how to bring it back . so thank you for showing this 😉 BTW love all your videos 😉
You're so amazing! I totally did this by accident on my very first hat yesterday ( just started crocheting a few weeks ago) and couldn't figure out how I did it to duplicate it! I thought I'd totally messed up. Thanks for letting me know it's an actual "thing"! I struggle to with the slip stitches... especially doing an infinity scarf. Always feel like the stitches aren't even.
Happy accident! :D
I agree I do not like seams either. thank you for the tip.
Nice. Thank you.
This is awesome, thanks for making it so simple
Awesome....this is why I follow you; cause you are the best.
Suck it up buttercup!!! 😄😄😄 you are so much fun!
I love doing spiral to make hats but never thought to taper it off at the end. Thanks for the tip.
Yesss! Just what I have been looking for!
You, are, fenomenal. This cheat will save me peace of mind, I hate those tell tale joins!
OmG... Soooo clever!!! Thank u Mickey 😍
Love this thank you for sharing Mikey hats annoy slit of us with a seam and we have all probably worn them back to front with this it doesn't matter
yeah !!! love your videos : )
AWESOME TUTORIAL!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS 💝! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING 😊!!!
Brilliant tip thank you so love your tutorials
love your videos...very entertaining and well explained
Wow! I aways wonder about that. Especially Amigurumi and hats, if I do spiral then it doesn't look complete circle at the end. Thank you so much! so simple, but looks great!
Hello, my first time to watch. So glad I did. What a SUPERB to for getting rid of that annoying seam line. Btw, it annoys me as much as it does you. And we are NOT weird, goofy or crazy. We are FASHION CONSCIENCE and care about how things look and also want our creations and final pieces to reflect WE CARE about our work. Some call me OCD, fine. I have been my whole life, BUT not with everything. I'm fun, down to earth, intelligent, confident, secure being alone at 66, and fairly happy most of my life. I have always taken pride in what I make since I was young. It had to be perfect. Yet it never is, but I'm human and try hard!! It really bothered me hearing you down yourself so much...STOP IT!!! I don't know what u look like, don't care. The important thing is the confidence you have within and a good, kind, caring heart toward others. Look... You posted a video!!! Many people can't or are afraid to do that. So be your fun self, no more negativity (because negativity BREEDS negativity). Tell yourself you're fantastic everyday, hold your head high and own it. You will see a huge change in your life. Thank God every morning you wake up and for blessing u with talent and skills. Thank you for the great tip. I've always wondered how to fix it. Now I know, thanks to you. It only took about 55 yrs...lol. See all the people who have been waiting for YOU to help them fix it!!! Enjoy life!! Blessings and wishing u much success!! L :). P.S. Besides crocheting and trying harder things, I'm a newbie quilt designer and love doing it! Hope to be recognized for my work, even if I am old! And write children's stories, but not published yet.. Another goal I won't give up!! Use your talents and skills to the fullest!! God bless!
Thanks so much for this! I've been making cancer caps for a few friends and the seams were making me NUTSO! Some I covered with crochet flowers but...this is much nicer! I was so frustrated I started knitting them instead! Great idea!
Excellent video love this great idea! Thank you!
so simple!! thank you. Xx
Genius! Thanks for sharing!
Suck it up Buttercup- I adore you!!!! Most interesting crochet tutorial ever!!
Thank you for sharing the tutorial. I also not a fan of the seam in the back. Made a baby hat and i love it. Mikey, you are the best.
How do you get it to not show the seam when you change colors? I do my hats in the spiral like this but when I change colors you can see where the new row with the new color is shifting up above the last color and it bugs me just as bad as the full seam when you slip stitch.
love your comments! you are the best! this was a great tutorial, I do not like the seam lines either.
Beanie was perfect - thank you ♥ Does the same techniques apply to a HDC beanie?
Thank you so much.
So, I did what you directed here, but only marked the last stitch with the same marker on each round ...why keep the marker going throughout the project? I suppose a trail,. But just marking the last stitch in each row worked for me. Anyway, Mikey, you solved a dilemma for me! I've been working it into my newborn hats that I'm donating to children's' hospitals now. They look fantastic because of your technique. Thanks!
Thanks Mikey, for teaching how to go from spiral to "regular" circle!
I wonder, with it now 2021, do you still use this technique? ;-)
Love you, love your work. Give Dan, PD, and all the rest of the critters a hug for me. LOL
Yes I do! If you are not watching me on tutorials, I do this for myself. :) However, I do follow the patterns as written for the most part.
Thanks, Mikey. I tend to do the same thing for the same reason! lol My question is...
When you get to the end of the round and need to work into the "next stitch", do you go into the one preceding the post (right of the post) or the stitch that is the completion of that first post? Even crocheting for almost 20 years, I've never been sure which is actually the correct spot to work into when spiraling!
Hi Mike. You are so funny " Suck it up Buttercup"😂😂
i really needed this but for my dolls, i strongly dislike the seam created by working in rounds (though it looks like a spine sometimes but i dont like it). thankfully my mom bought me a crochet kit that includes stitch markers, im excited to try this technique!
I HATE seeing where the slip stitch comes in. I wish I would have found your tutorial about 18 months ago. I have made over 200 beanies for a children's hospital-it was one of the things I could just sit at home and do rather than go out among people not following the COVID protocol. I will have to watch this video a few times as I start another hat. I haven't even tried to donate them yet, but it's nice to know that we might be getting back to the normal we knew 18 months ago. I still prefer a mask even though I've gotten my shots. Thank you for this tutorial, I just wish I would have found it quite awhile ago because I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and there's nothing that bothers me more than not be able to create something and have it not come out how I want it. I just watched someone else's way to eliminate the seam, but your method is far superior to hers. Thank you again!!
Me too. It's a pet peeve of mine.
Here is what I do to avoid seam lines. I put the required number of DC in the ring. Slip stitch to join. Chain 3. Skip the first stitch and put 2DC all around. When I get to the end, I put 2 DC in the slipped stitch on the row below it, then slip stitch and chain 3. I repeat. On subsequent rows, notice where there are 2 DC in one stitch. Put one DC in spaces where there are one, and two DC in spaces with two stitches in one. When you get back around to the slipped stitch put one or two DC in it in the row below, depending on what stitch it ends with, one DC or two in that stitch. You will still get the line, but it will be on the inside of the hat and the outside will be invisible. You will not have a seam.
Quick tip for that Magic Ring: once you reach this point: 3:06 pull hard on the hook to tighten that stitch. That will lock in into place and once you close the Magic Ring it will not come undo again.
Hey Mikey, I have a trick for you to lock that yarn tail in place, no need for a darning needle. Once you have pulled it as tight as you need it to be, take your hook and stick it INTO the closest stitch to your yarn tail (going in between the V at the top of the stitch). Push your hook down through the stitch, YO with your yarn tail, and pull it back up through the stitch. You then simply crochet over it for 3 or 4 stitches. You can do this more than once, if you choose. I usually do this 2 or 3 times over subsequent rows. I guarantee you, it will lock that yarn tail in place, and it won't budge. Even just doing it once will lock it in place, but I like to do it more than once for good measure.
“Suck it up buttercup”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best tip ever❤️❤️❤️
Great tips
Haha! Suck it up buttercup!😄
Love this technique, going to use this on my hats.👍🏼Thanks for sharing, you are the master crocheter!😁
There's no need to remove your hook to place your "stitch marker" yarn. Simply lay it between your working yarn and the hook before you complete the last step of the last stitch. (The same point where you would switch yarn when changing colors.) Then complete your stitch.
And for patterns that alternate stitches, like a front loop, back loop, and then the next row is back loop, front loop. The stitch count is always even, I like to improvise with an odd stitch count that way you don't start and end with the same stitch, because that can also stand out.
I do this with hats to but didn't know how to finish them off Thank you :)
l am bothered enough by the seam l m now going to undo all 5 hats made this month to undo the seam , THANK YOU !
Thank you👍👍
Interesting way to solve the seam line problem. How would you do this technique if your pattern has an edging or different pattern for the base (bottom)of the hat. By closing up your spiral you now have an additional three stitches. I know if the pattern is divisible by three it won't be an issue, but is there a way to make it work if it's not? I've been watching your videos and following you for years. You are a great teacher and have helped me improve my crocheting skills. Thank you so much for your time and effort in making these videos!! God bless you.
Replace the final three stitches that the original pattern calls for with the hdc, sc and sl st? That way you have the same number of stitches and not three additional ones. (Does this make sense? Maybe when I actually go to make it I'll find out I'm totally wrong! LOL!)
"Suck it up, butter cup!" 🤣🤣🤣 I hear ya! I practiced, and practiced, until I got the Magic Ring, right. It's definitely a game changer!
How would you do this when moving between a hdc and camel stitch? I'm been trying so keep everything lined up and seamless, but I admit it's getting the best of me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
super! bravo!
Thank you. I hate those seam lines too!
First off...you are NOT a geek!!! Secondly, thanks for this video. Glad to see others are on the same wave length. I absolutely hate the seams and no matter how I try I cannot get them to look right for me so.....I admit that I have been spiraling to avoid them. And if I cannot do a spiral for some reason, I do the turn and chain method after each row. There's more than one way to defeat that pesky seam line!
Thank you soooo much. I hate the line it has with the slip stitches
Ok so say you’re working on a hat that has fphdc and bead stitching, does this work up the same? I’m gonna have to try it!
Thanks for sharing your tips! Can you change colors using this method? RESPECT
Very nice.
Thank you!
Can you do this in a mandala style circle afghan? I am making the Woodland Circle Afghan by Lion Brand Yarn and yes the chain line is about to make me crazy!! Thanks Mikey.
Thank you for this tutorial! I've nearly always used the sl st, chain up method when making hats, and have not always been pleased with the seam the technique creates. When I knit a hat in the round, it's a spiral, so why not do this in crochet? The work goes lickety-split!
After crocheting a zoo of amigurumi for my grandson I adopted this method for making hats because the seams were always so messy.
Very cool method! Does this work with linked stitches? Thanks 😊
Honestly, I'm really not sure. You could try it to see. I don't know.
Ahahahahaha Ahahahahaha
Suck it up buttercup?? I love it!! 💜. You're great by way💚
This is exactly what i wanted to know. But if you’re making the CC pattern of stripes will that make the stripes off?
I haven’t seen a c2c hat. Maybe you would have to try it to see. I’m not exactly sure what you mean.
Ok I like this idea but for the hat I am wanting to make does not agree with this way as mine is with a chain 3 at beg. Of rows and double crochet increase around. How can I do it this way like the tutorial? Please help ASAP.
Can I use this technique on a sweater that has no seams? It is worked in a round, something like a tube. I am very unhappy seeing where the round has ended and see the diagonal "stripe" .
I'm making beanies for the men in my family and they like the single crochet look. Is there a way to even out the end of the last round? I'm working on one now trying it without doing the sl.st. and chain 1 and it looks like when I come to the end it's going to be "uneven".
Thank you Mikey, good idea but what if you want to change colors to make s stripe beanie.
Then you would have to do it conventionally.
Will this also work when starting the opposite way? like with hats that you close up at the end?
