drivin me NUTS!

[dwiggicb]

for almost 2+ years ive struggled with crocheting in the round.  yes...looked at tons of websites, tutorials, etc...BUT just cant get the part when it says to JOIN rounds???  ok...do u join under 1 loop of top chain...both loops....or go to next full stitch to join???  i absolutely despise that "obvious" seam line!  i need some hands on crocheters for help! there has to be some general rule of thumb with this process.  thanks thanks...hugs hugs

I always go under both loops.

 

Another trick you can do is to turn the piece around and insert the hook from the opposite direction that you've been working in and pull the loop through that way.  It give it a nice smooth look.

 

The seam is less obvious and straighter when you turn each round also.
