Note: <\/strong>Since writing this post, I’ve developed a new technique, Ultimate Stripes<\/strong>, which I believe is superior to both the techniques below. You can find the Ultimate Stripes tutorial here<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The No-Cut Join <\/strong> below is still a very good option for situations where you’d prefer to not cut the yarn between rounds. You can compare all three methods for yourself in my amigurumi stripes comparison post<\/a>.) <\/em><\/div>\n

I’ve developed<\/a> two methods<\/strong> you can use to minimise the seam when you work in joined rounds to make stripes for amigurumi (or anything else that’s single crocheted in the round). As these joins don’t travel or require extra stitches, you can just add the join of your choice between rounds in any<\/strong> striped single crochet pattern (whether it was designed to be worked in continuous spirals or joined rounds). You don’t need to modify your stitch count; they just work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
