Here is a quick tip on how to create a virtually hidden seam on crochet hats! If you struggle with uneven seams or gaping holes in the back of your hat, you will want to try this technique. It works by skipping over your chain stitches at the begging of the round, joining to your first stitch made, and then starting your next round in the same stitch as your chains stitches. This allows the chains to become “filler” stitches and keeps your seam from having large holes like in the orange hat below. This technique does work best with double crochet stitches but can be applied to any other types of stitches your pattern calls for.
Here is a short video tutorial on how to create the hidden seam:
NOT your chain 2.
Pretty simple, right?! If you are following my patterns, this is how you should be joining and starting your rounds!

I made lots of your patterns last year, and was amazed at how the seams just disappeared, once I followed your directions! Because I crochet "big" I ended up with some really cute hats (for me) that were meant for kids.
This year the plan is to make some actual baby sized hats, I think I'll try your really cute swirling candy cane pattern.

Thanks so much for all your information and patterns and I love your blog!!
Thank you so much for explaining this! I learned how to crochet by watching youtube and I seem to always have those gaps.
I've always done this because I thiught it looked neater. I absolutely love your blog and look forward to reading all of your hints patterns etc. Thank you so much for your contributions!!!!
I also like this chainless starting technique from Moogly: http://www.mooglyblog.com/chainless-starting-double-crochet-round/ It makes seams completely invisible.
Thank you!

I follow the same but why my join turn slanting and not as per yours with straight finish. Thanks
I want to start by saying I love all of your crochet patterns!!!
I have basically the same question at the above person, Adeline. She said that her hat seem is slanting and I have that same issue.
I am thinking that she and I both are going into the wrong stitch when we come around. I am doing a half double with a ch 1 at the end. I count my stitches back around to make sure I have what I need. So if I am doing 25 stitches around, I would join in the 25th stitch, but that is giving me that “slant”. I am not counting my ch 1 as a stitch, at least I don’t think I am.
Any Advice??
I have the same issue…Were you able to get it straightened out?
Hi i,m following your pattern but i still can,t keep the line straight in the beanie i,m making can you tell me what i,m doing wrong. Thank you
hi it’s awesome article
Thank you for this. I was looking for the video tutorial, but I do not see a link to it. Can you repost it please? Pictures are ok, but I’m pretty new to crocheting, so watching it actually being done “live” helps me more.
Thanks for good and nice site
I REALLY want this to work, but I’m getting the slant as well. I’m following exactly as pictured. Tried in HDC stitches as well.
I even tried moving my first increase to the end of the round into the sl st. Which worked for my increasing rounds, but for straight stitching rounds the seam slants again (no longer crocheting in sl st)
Others have suggested working in continuous round which I hate! Please help me, I love the look of your seams
Best technique ever. Thank you.
Hi, I do believe this is an excellent site.
I have a question. I used this technique to make your black cat Halloween beanie and it’s increasing too much because of that extra chain 2. I am chaining 2 and then doing 2 DC in that same stitch. Is that correct?
I made the toddler size and it’s fitting on MY head. There’s no way it will fit my toddler. I’m on row 12 and it’s big.
Can you please clarify. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Newbie
This is how I have always joined. But my seams slant. This does not work for me.
