In this video tutorial, learn how to join corner-to-corner crochet pieces together without a visual seam (and with no actual sewing!)
This C2C crochet video tutorial is part of a collaboration with my friends at Lion Brand Yarn. This post contains affiliate links.
I’ve tried many ways to join corner-to-corner crochet pieces together, but recently my mom and I figured out a technique that requires NO sewing, NO visual seam and NO crazy number of ends to weave in. It worked so surprisingly well that we used it on the Free Range Kimono pattern to add the sleeves and today I’d like to teach you how to do it yourself step-by-step.
Knowing When to Join C2C Crochet Pieces
This seamless way of joining your corner-to-corner pieces is useful anytime you want to make more than a simple square or rectangle using C2C crochet. As you can see in the photo below, you can actually add additional squares or rectangles in this simple way to create more complex shapes–like we did for the sleeves of the Free Range Kimono!
This strategy for how to join C2C crochet pieces could also work if you’re making something like an graphgan from many squares or rectangles. Instead of crocheting them individually, you could join them as you go with this method.
