Crocheted Seams

Melissa asked if I would show how I did the seams. I tried my best to take pictures of the second shoulder, but it's very hard to capture the process single-handed.

Step 1: Insert the hook through corresponding stitches on the front and back pieces. Make sure you insert the hook into the stitches and not merely into the bound-off edge?that's where I went wrong the first time.

Step 1

Step 2: Pull a loop through from the back. Use the hook to pull the loop on the left through the loop on the right.

Step 2

One stitch made. Repeat Step 1.

Rinse. Repeat.

Here's the finished seam. It will flatten out more with wear.

Acceptable

Just to be completely obsessive, I used different colors for each segment.

More ends to weave.

I hope this helps.
