- How to Do an Invisible Join for a Crochet Blanket | Invisible Seam Crochet Tutorial
CROCHET joining technique: In this video I share a joining method that is virtually invisible. This is ideal if you are wanting a flat seam to join your crocheted granny squares. This is also a great technique if you are trying to join pieces with multiple colors of yarn.
Tutorial: 1:15
How to join corners: 8:00
I mention the magic knot in my tutorial. Here is a link to see how to make it. This knot will NOT pull apart on you:

Thanks so much for this. So many video tutorials show one aspect of a technique and leave one to figure out the rest. I was afraid you were only going to show us how to join two squares and then say "good luck!" and send us on our way. But you showed us how to join four squares together and once we know that, we can do the rest. Great tutorial. Can't wait to get this afghan, that I have been working on and off for a couple of years, finally done!
This makes me so happy to read - I’m glad you found it helpful - best of luck with your blanket ! 💕
I LOVE that you showed how to do the corners and i think this is my new favorite joining method i cant wait to try it it looks amazing!
You are very good at explaining and slow and close up. Thank you so much
My granny square blanket came out more beautiful than I could have imagined. The invisible stitch is just that...invisible! Now I'm working on a blanket with various colored squares using the grit stitch and I will join them the same way. So happy with this invisible stitch.
Oh, I’m so glad!! 😀🧶❤️
I have probably watched every invisible join and yours was the best. You showed it up close and explained it very well....Thank You
I appreciate it, thank you ! 💕🧶
You're my new hero! I have been crocheting for about a year. I have only done bigger pieces, with no need to join. I am doing my 1st hexagon blanket but each one has a different color yarn on the out side. It didn't dawn on me how I would join them till I saw this! Thank u!!! I also adore your sense of humor 😆 I smiled and laughed while learning 😄that's always a plus!❤
Wonderful! I’m so happy you found the video helpful! 😀💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I to am working with so many multiple color granny squares this absolutely fantastic and I never knew you could do this to join. I bet a lot out there don't know this technique either. I will pass this along to my crochet world. They will love this. Thank You so much.
I’m so happy to read this and glad you are finding the videos useful ! 👏🏻💕 the invisible seam is a game changer for sure ! It takes some practice and trial and error to get into that stitch to hide it but once you do you’ll get a feel for it and be thrilled with the result ! Thank you so much for your encouraging comment 💕
It appears this technique works better than working in the back loop only. The stitch is more hidden. Thanks for the tip!
Takes a little longer to do but yes I’ve found it to be more hidden . Thank you!
I have been watching to learn how to do this join forever and you😅 are a great teacher! It is very forgiving even on blocks that are NOT a granny square. I found that it even works along the selvage edge which is one reason I always put a border around the blocks. It is VERY forgiving and I know as I practice more I wont see the joins at all. Right now I am making a mistKe or two on the selvage edge but no-one will notice. Thank you so much 😘💕
I’m sooo happy this video helped. It’s still my favorite join!! Thank you for telling me 🧶💕💕
Thank you soooo much for this. I'm making a blanket with solid colored squares of many different colors and I did not want any kind of visible seam connecting them all together. I've been dreading the joining together and now I can't wait! This is awesome! Thank you!
You are so welcome! It’s a great method to have in your toolbox 🧶💕
I love this method! I love that you don’t have to choose a color to be a strip between all the blocks. I would use this method for sure. By the way, you showed us and described everything very clearly. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😀💕🧶
It worked. Did not think I can do it. Thank you, you are a great teacher
So happy it worked for you ! 😀💕
I adore this creator and amazing instructor. Her videos are so clear and is so proactive when noting the problems that might arise. Thanks so much for this very helpful tutorial. 🙂
🥰 thank you so much 🤗🧶
So, if I’m seeing this right, there would be no need to sew in the ends on the last row of the square…you could just use that to attach another square. Love it!
Thank you! I just started a blanket with granny squares and love love love that you show how to join the corners! I’ve gone through many tutorials that show how to join, but not the corners -.- ❤️
So glad it helped 😀💕
This is exactly what I needed to. Start putting my granny square blanket together. Thank you so much , as I love this mattress seam.
I’m so glad 😀🧶💕
モチーフ最終段、長編みしながらの繋ぎ方を忘れていたのですが、動画アップされていて、とても助かりました😊
ありがとう😉👍️🎶
Great! 😀💕
Although you made this video like 1 year ago, it was very very helpful for me. Thank you very much
Oh good, I’m so glad you found it useful! 😀👏🏻💕
Thank you for this!!!!! I’m just learning and I just finished my first sunburst square. Then I was thinking how I should join! Can you do a video on how to start the join as you go with your first 4 squares?
I'm so sorry- I did not see this! Yes, I will work on a video for the first 4 squares. xx
Thank you for showing us how to connect all of the squares. Love your tutorials ❣🥰❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing this useful technique with patience and gentleness. Greetings from Santiago, Chile.
Thank u, this does really look a lot better than the usual method I was using.
Oh, good, I’m glad you like it 😀👏🏻💕
Wow! That's fantastic! Thank you so much!! I just worked it as I watched your video and I'm amazed. I'm teaching crochet classes to kids and I can't wait to show them this. :)
Wonderful! 😀👏🏻
Thank you for showing both sides clearly. I generally use one of the long finishing tails because it's already securely anchored
Oh awesome! 👏🏻💕
perfect tutorial! i could listen to u teach all day, you have such a soothing voice 😊
So kind of you, thank you 💕🧶😘
I just found your channel and wow I love this joining and I do a lot of granny squares. I love how the seams are not showing.. I am making a cardigan with granny squares and I can't wait to try this method out. Thanks so much. I went and checked your channel and video's oh my gosh you have the simple flower granny with those colors yippee..I saw so many I want to try. I put notifications for you all the time.
Thank you so much, Terry ! xo
Beautiful and clear tutorial.
Thank you.
I am going to try right now.
My little squares are all different colours and this invisible seam looks ideal.
Wonderful, keep me posted 🧶💕
I love this method it don't show it may take more time but a lot better look thanks a bunch ❤
😀❤️👏🏻
Brilliant video. Easy to follow and very clear instructions. Thank you very much for making this video to help others. Your blanket is beautiful.
Thank you , Helen 😀💕
Thank you for this 😊 your voice is so soothing and understanding in giving instructions.
So kind, thank you !
Thank you so much! Very new to crocheting, enjoying making simple granny squares atm. Very easy to understand thanks again
Thank you !
Just to let you know I used the invisible stitch to a very long scarf I made into an infinity scarf. I didn't want to undo the part of the scarf that I had made which measured over 200 half DC so I made a new piece of scarf an additional 60 half DC and with the invisible stitch it hardly shows where I stitched it together on both sides. It really turned out good. Thank you so much
Oh that’s awesome, I’m so glad it worked out! 😀🧶💕
Colors are beautiful 😍
Thank you so much for your clear showing us exactly how to do it with four squares that’s great
So glad you found it helpful 💕
Your idea of stitch markers has helped me so much. Thank you!!
I’m so glad! 😀💕
You continue to inspire me!! Thank You🌺 Thank You🌺
Yes iam doing a calender blanket and using the invisible method.
I'm making my first granny square blanket. I think I'll use this joining method!
Keep me posted ! 😀💕🧶
@@PlayHookywithMe I have 11 granny squares left to do before I start joining.

Thank you for the tutorial, it's quite easy to understand
Thank you for the demonstration. ❤
Beautiful work. I love the yarn colors combination. 🌹
Thank you! 🧶💕
Nice! Reminds me in a way of the kitchener stitch in knitting.
Very similar , yes 👍🏻 💕
Thank you this look better and seamless ❤
Glad you like it! 😀❤️
Great video, very thorough!
Appreciate it ! 😀💕
Genial,wonderful way of seaming! If only the label of the words description wasn't covering the imagines it would have been better,in my opinion , but this video has given me a great solution.Thank you very much!!
Thank you , can you remind me what words? I don’t recall adding words during this video to the point it would distract?
Unless you have subtitles/cc on?
@@PlayHookywithMe yes I had sub titles on because my English isn't very good and it's easier for me reading it than listening to it... And the label was over the imagines, but I did it the same, thank you for your reply, you're very kind😘
@@annalisaballarin2153 awe ok 👍🏻 I’m glad it was able to help you 👏🏻💕💕
Thank you so much! Can't wait to try this out. :)
Thank you 💕
Beautiful Colors on your project 🤗💜
Thank you !
Qué bello trabajo. Se ve muy acogedor los colores. Me encantó. Felicidades.!!!
This is so helpful thank you for being such a blessing!!!
Thank you !
I really lime the clean look of this blanket....Keep on Hooking❤
this is soooooo smart
So happy you found it helpful 👏🏻👏🏻💕
Thank you
I outlined all my squares in a tan color. So if a joining stitch or two get sloppy, you can't tell. But, as I join, it gets easier and makes more sense. I finished joining the squares for one row of 10. Not perfect...but once square is joined, I think it will be okay. I plan on a ruffle edge when all is done.
Wonderful!! 😀 Sounds like it’s going well 🧶💕
Me...again. I like your squares. They seem to have more "shells". Do you have a tutorial for that? They almost look like flowers.

Very nice thank you so much
Thank you for the video. I understand you perfectly. I have one question, how do you “end”? Do you just weave the end back through or do you need to do a knot?
I just weave in the ends but you can make a knot if you like. Completely up to you . 💕
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you , Karen. Sorry I missed this - just got the notification today for some reason 💕💕
Do you have a video tutorial for the blanket that’s already been joined at 0:12 ? The flower design with the green border around the petals? That is a beautiful design!!
No I don’t but I’ve been thinking about doing one for this . Thanks for asking , I’ll add it to the “to do “ list now that I know there is interest 🧶💕
Play Hooky with Me thank you!! I think it’s beautiful and the border around the flower adds dimension x
Oh please do! I agree with S Williams that your flower design with contrasting petal border is stunning! I really look forward to seeing your tutorial for it in the future. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques 😊
@@mstone8001 I agree to I would love to see that.
Oh, how I hope and pray that you do a video tutorial on the one S Williams is talking about!!! It's stunning.
This is so helpful, thank you! Would this work for a blanket made entirely of granny triangles? I’ve been trying to search all over YT for a way to join granny triangles with an invisible join but have come back with nothing. Thank you!
Absolutely, this will work perfectly for triangles 👍🏻💕
Do you have a tutorial for the granny squares in this video, the ones with the thin trim on the petal edges? It's beautiful, and I love this joining method!
I do actually . It was my very first video on this channel so apologies on the quality :

Can you please clarify if this technique is done with right sides together or the wrong sides together or it doesn't really matter whichever way it is done...thank you so much for the slow video ... technique is shown very clearly.
If you have the pieces Laying flat on a table it doesn’t matter but if you are holding them in your hand, then you want wrong sides together.
💕
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you so much for prompt response.. 🙏🙏
I was thinking on joining squares vertically first so that I have a long strip and do the same for the rest of the squares. Then crochet the vertical strips (each of mine will be about 60" long) together. I don't know (yet) how that will work with the corners of each four squares (you had a circle). Maybe pause for the circle and then continue down each square of each vertical?
Sure, you really can do it however you like. I started with a horizontal strip and then for the second “strip or row of squares” I would join one by one to it moving from right to left (no specific reason, it just felt comfortable).
But joining several vertical strips would certainly work. I trust that once you start working on it, you’ll find the perfect rhythm for you. There’s not a right or wrong with this 💕🧶
EXCELLENT! 💖🙌🙌🙌😺
Thank you ! 😀❤️
I want to use the invisible join on my first granny square blanket I am working on. I just about have the squares ready for the width that I need.
Wonderful! 👏🏻💕
How do you secure them?
@@user-jv1no3tt5u I don’t understand your question, this video shows how to secure them . Here is another video on the same technique czcams.com/video/x-3Ijs9Wm58/video.html
Or if you are needing to know how to weave in ends I would recommend this video czcams.com/video/xq-9_BBd94s/video.html
Love your videos. Do you have one on hiw to hide the ends. I gave a blanket to my daughter and as time goes and she washes it a few of the ends have come out.
Has the end come unraveled or just starting to show and she has to clip it or try to tuck them back in?
This rule of three will keep
Them from unraveling because your end is going on 3 opposite directions. Along with the rule of 3, I would recommend that you do quite a long tail and that your last portion of the tail is tucked into a nice meaty group of stitches. I hope that helps
thank you so much you very very good
Thankyou for your kind words , I’m glad it helped 💕
When you buy your yarn in order to make a blanket using granny squares, which yarn is it easier to work with? Do you use bulky? Acrylic or cotton, and which weight of yarn?
Great question… I prefer using a weight 3 or 4 yarn with a 4mm hook (even if it’s a weight 4 I prefer the smaller hook size of 4) . So a light worsted to worsted is my personal preference .
Acrylic is perfect for granny squares because the color choice is through the roof, washable and allergen friendly. Cotton or a cotton blend is great too. I like the stitch definition of the cotton but i would recommend you choose a cotton blend because it’s softer and easier to work with.
Cotton doesn’t have much stretch to it on its own so it can really be hard on your hands.
Hope that helps 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe I thank you so much for this information. Bless you
I love this! Do you have a pattern or video tutorial on how to make this square? Thank you so much.

Thank you I will try it.
I love the colors of your squares. What yarn did you use? I'm tired of the same colors I have been using.
I working on a granny blanket now with contusions join.
I didn't use dark colors ,because I cant see the stitches. But this one I needed to throw squares have popcorn flower's one each. Thay are light pink
I'm using graphite for the granny part. I have had to frog so many times ,because I cant see .
I used a color pack called the sweet pea Cal that I found here :
attic24.typepad.com/weblog/sweet-pea-blanket.html
You can order this yarn in the US at LoveCrafts USA
Quick question...I'm working on my individual granny squares and laying them out as I want the color squares to appear. They are all outlined in a tan color. I'll use my tan yarn to ultimately join all squares. I'll use a decent length of yarn to join two squares. Should I leave tails and weave them in as I join the squares?
Sure, you can really do it however you like. I would suggest trying it and see how it feels for you. I usually would join a few squares and then weave the ends before moving on to the next batch.
Thanks so much for this! However I have a question: I used this technique for my whole blanket but overtime because I guess the blanket is pretty heavy, it the seams started opening up again... I weaved them in as best as i could, so I don't know what i did wrong :(
Oh that’s a shame - I’ve never had that issue before, very surprised to read this .😕 I have several videos on how I weave in my ends but I’m not sure it would have been different from what you did. My only suggestion would be to add a little knot before you do your final weave in of the tail 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe Thanks so much for responding so quickly! Yeah i figured it might've been because i didn't weave the ends in tight enough or secured them with a knot. Will definitely do that from now on, thanks for the help!
how would you tie off the yarn? would you jsut knot it tightly when you reach the end or see it into the last square you finish off on??
I would suggest knotting it and leave a long tail of yarn and weave it into the square . Here’s a video to show you how I like to weave in ends
czcams.com/video/xq-9_BBd94s/video.html
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you so much !!
try looking at what TL Yarn Crafts does, she is excellent!
Regarding what, though? What do you want me to see?
How do you tie the ends off?
I just weave them in -
czcams.com/video/xq-9_BBd94s/video.html
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you!
😊❤
Can you use a crochet hook instead of a needle? I only have a hook, so I was wondering if it's possible.
Unfortunately, no. But here are some other flat seam joins that use a crochet hook : czcams.com/video/x-3Ijs9Wm58/video.html
Could I ask how you get the sides so neat.Is it a border?My squares are all wavy .
I often find I have to omit chains in my squares to help with waviness. For example if a patterns calls for 3 chains in a corner, I might only do 2. For this pattern, I skipped the chains between the “granny clusters” (3 dc groupings) that are usually in granny square patterns. That the biggest tip I can give - omit chains when you can . 💕
Do you knot the ends or just leave it loose ?
I usually don’t knot the ends. I just make sure they are long enough to weave in very well. Knot them, though , if it makes you feel more confident with it 👍🏻🧶💕
What type/brand of yarn do you use for your granny squares? And how many different colors do you buy to get all the beautiful combinations you come up with which i think are beautiful ?
Thank you 💕 this is style craft special dk yarn. I ordered it from lovecrafts.com .
I initially bought a pack from attic24 in the UK called sweetpea. It was for a blanket project but I use the yarn to make my own squares.
This was many years ago but she still has the blog post available.,
You can see the colors here but you can order them at love crafts individually. You don’t have to buy her yarn pack 👍🏻💕
attic24.typepad.com/weblog/sweet-pea-blanket.html
What did you do with the tail at the end?
Just weave it in ... I like to do 3 passes ... weave to the right, to the left and then to the right again. This way no matter how much it is pulled or washed , it won’t come out. czcams.com/video/xq-9_BBd94s/video.html
Can i use this method for making bag?? Please, let me know.
Absolutely, yes 👍🏻
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you so much. 💜💜
what do you do with the ends of the extra string ?
Weave them into the blanket . I like to do weave in three different directions to ensure it stays in place .
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you !!
Che belle le mattonelle. Vorrei capire come le cuci, ma non conosco l'inglese e quello che fai e' coperto dalle scritte, anche queste in inglese. Potresti mettere le scritte in italiano ? Grazie ( oppure togli le scritte)
Ho aggiunto l'opzione italiana per te. 🧶💓

No, I’m sorry . I have nearly 200 videos and. Have to physically go into each video and add this for you. I added translations to the several you requested and that took me a long time.
