Tutorial: Seamless Single Crochet Supplement

This is a a supplement to the Seamless Single Crochet Tutorial.  Here I show you, step by step how to make the last slip stitch of a row, turn your item clockwise, and make the first deep single crochet.  I show this for when you are starting on the outside of your item and from the inside of your item.

Starting From Inside Your Item (text is above its corresponding photo)

1) In the first image, the last stitch of the row has been completed.  In the second image, I have placed a small piece of white yarn in the space between the last stitch and the first stitch.



2) Slip stitch in the first stitch of the row and chain one.  Hold your hook (it should not move) and rotate your item clockwise 180 degrees.  The direction is indicated by the red arrows.



3) Now you are looking at the outside of your item.  Insert your hook in the same space where the white piece of yarn is.



4) Complete the deep single crochet.  The second image shows you how the first single crochet is just a little deeper than the subsequent single crochet stitches.



Starting From Outside Your Item (text is above its corresponding photo)

1) In the first image, the last stitch of the row has been completed.  In the second image, I have placed a small piece of white yarn in the space between the last stitch and the first stitch.

Hi Alice, I'm curious about what you've got around your crochet hook. Is it covered with a foam sleeve? More comfortable?

Yes, it's one of these:

I use them on all my hooks. If I don't, the palms of my hands feel bruised from the hook rubbing against me. Sometimes my elbow and shoulder will hurt, too. These things are awesome. When the side closest to the hook wears away too much, I take them off and turn them around. They last forever.

This is great. You should make a video from start and skip to finish. I only say this because I can't seem to figure out how to getting it going. I know you said you did not do the rounds but when I tried it a different way the sc seemed to look funny. Oh well.

Great work as usual! ooohhh ! Next puchase: Seahorse :)
