Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a right side and wrong side of the crochet flat slip stitch join?
Yes, there is a noticeable right and wrong side of the crochet flat slip stitch join. You will crochet the two pieces of crochet fabric together with the right side facing.
Is the crochet flat slip stitch join the same as surface crochet?
No, the crochet flat slip stitch join is used to work 2 pieces of crochet together, like joining crochet squares, while surface crochet uses slip stitches to create stripes, ribbing and crochet motifs on top of a already crocheted fabric.
What is the difference between the crochet flat slip stitch join and joining with a slip stitch when you crochet in the round?
When you are crocheting the flat slip stitch join, the objective is to crochet two pieces together. The slip stitches create a seam that attaches them to each other.
When you are joining with a slip stitch when crocheting in rounds, you will crochet a slip stitch after the last stitch of the round, into the top of the first stitch of the round to join them together.
Is the invisible join an alternative to the flat slip stitch join?
No, the invisible join is used to end crochet rounds, not to join two crochet pieces together.
