Category: Joining Techniques

Difficulty: Beginner

Description: The Whip Stitch is a simple and effective method to join two pieces of fabric or crochet together. It creates a neat, strong seam, perfect for joining afghan squares, garments, and other projects.

Instructions

• Step 1: Align the edges of the two pieces you want to join, ensuring the stitches match up evenly.
• Step 2: Thread a yarn needle with a length of matching yarn.
• Step 3: Insert the needle under the first stitch of both edges, pull the yarn through, and repeat across the edge, creating a looping effect over the seam.
• Step 4: Once complete, weave in the yarn ends securely to finish.

Uses: Joining afghan squares, assembling garments, and finishing seams in crochet projects.
