Do you know the technique "join with double crochet"? If I know this technique earlier, I think my motifs will look better. :Q
Step 1: Hold the yarn end with the last two fingers of your hook-holding hand.
Step 2: Holding the hook in your first two fingers and thumb, wrap the yarn around the hook twice.
Step 3: Insert the hook into the desired stitch.
Step 4: Yarn over and pull up a loop.
Step 5: Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook.
Step 6:Yarn over and pull through the last two loops on the hook (completing as for a normal double crochet).
Step 7: Continuing to hold on to the yarn end, make the next double crochet in the standard manner.
Step 8: You can let go of the tail, and continue to make stitches according to the pattern. If you used this technique on the previous row, crochet over the tail that was left at the top from that row. The loose end at the top of this row can either be woven in with a needle, or crocheted over in the next row!
This is wonderful! Definitely need to give this a try thank you! I hate the way those slip stitches bundle the previous row!
