Watch this video tutorial to learn an easy way to crochet seamless join without cutting the yarn each round. Use this technique to keep your seam straight when crocheting in the round. The seamless join also keeps your stitches from slanting while doing fair isle crochet.
How many times have you made an adorable hat for your kids & they wear it backwards? That big ol’ seam is always staring at you. It never fails. I’m not a big fan of the crochet seamless join that you cut the yarn at the end of each round. It’s just too much work for me. I stumbled upon the “no cut join method”. Once you get the hang of it, I think it’s just as fast as the basic slip stitch method.

When should you use the No-Cut Join Method?
-
- Stripes: Typically when you crochet stripes, at the end of each round they don’t line up evenly. With this method, you will have even rows!
- HDC in the 3rd loop or backstitch: The same as stripes, this stitch never lines up perfectly. Until now! You can use this method on the Everly Hat too.
- Fair Isle Crochet: If your “hearts” tend to lean 1 way this joining method will help keep them straight. This is important when you are making an intricate design, like a snowflake.
A crochet pattern will read: sl st to join, at the end of each round. Instead of slip stitching, you will just follow this method.
Here are a few things I learned with my 1st video.
- It’s much harder than it looks to film a video.
- My bio should say I have HANDS of an 80-year-old instead of heart.
- I can’t wait to shoot more videos.

Interesting – thanks for sharing.
I noticed on single crochet you bring your thread in front and around…have I been doing it backwards all my life?
Thanks again 🙂
Hi Angelina!
I hope you find this joining technique helpful! I sometimes hold my working yarn in the wrong hand. So when I yarn over it looks different. I’m the one who’s been doing it wrong my whole life 😉
Stay cozy,

Thank you Sierra for this video. I cannot wait to try this. I was funny to see how you yarn over. But your work is beautiful so it really does not matter how you reach you end results, does it? A hundred years from now when your work is still here… looking so nice, it will NOT make a bit of difference. I hope to learn to do my seams just like this. It will take a little practice but that is one thing great about Crochet…practice is just as much fun as work a project….at least for me. Keep putting out the great work and videos. I hope to do some Fair Isle that looks as nice as yours. Again, Thank you ! CS
Thank you for the kind words! I know we all crochet differently, me REALLY different, but you are so right. It’s the process that’s fun and rewarding. Once you get this technique it’s really fast. I love the way it looks.
Stay cozy,
Sierra
Sierra, this is how I was taught to hold my yarn! I know it’s “wrong”, but I don’t care. The results are the same. It was great to see I’m not the only one that does it this way 🙂
Hey Becky!
I’m so glad I’m not alone 😉 I love how many different ways you can crochet. I’ve learned there’s no right or wrong way!
Stay Cozy,
Sierra
I love this technique but would love to see you change colors.
Hi Sandy!
I love this way of joining too. I’ll consider adding a video of changing colors at the end of the row. Here’s another tutorial that offers some advice on changing yarn colors.
