Technique - Joining

One of the neatest tricks in crochet is joining. When done right it is nice and neat; when done wrong it gets a little lumpy. It is very easy to do and those patterns that say to join with a sc may be better off if you use this little trick instead.

  1. drop loop from your hook…
  2. insert hook in the intended st or sp from right to left…
  3. pick up loop just dropped and…
  4. pull through and make a sl st…
  5. finish the chain loop.

The piece in the photo is for the lace overskirt to Miss July 1998. I am doing it in size 20 thread and a #8 crochet hook.
