CONTINENTAL TECHNIQUE Lesson 17.1 

Seaming through back and front loops


  • Place both sides with right side inside
  • Insert crochet hook into very first selvage stitches
  • Always keeping the yarn at the back of work, pull the yarn through both stitches at both back and front sides
  • Keep the newly formed stitch on the hook and pull the yarn through this stitch again
  • Again, insert the hook into next 2 stitches from both ends.
  • Now, you have two stitches on the hook. Pull the yarn through these 2 stitches.
  • Repeat two previous steps

  • Always seam stitches loosly. As a rule, seam of the garment should be as elastic as a garment itself.
