Whip Stitch Crochet Technique
The crochet whip stitch seam is a simple and versatile technique for joining two pieces of crochet fabric together.
This technique is commonly used for joining squares or rectangles to make blankets, scarves, and other projects. It is also a great way to add finishing touches to amigurumi or other three-dimensional crochet projects. The whip stitch creates a seamless and almost invisible join, making it a great choice for any project that requires a polished finish.
Materials Needed for a Whip Stitch Seam
- Yarn Needle (aka tapestry needle)
- Yarn
The Tutorial
Hold or align pieces to be joined with the right sides together.
Insert the yarn needle through the back loop of the first stitch on one piece, and then through the corresponding stitch on the other piece.
Pull through and repeat.
Continue across to make a seam.
Tip: when starting your join, whip stitch a few times in the first stitch to secure it.
