Crochet Joins
Welcome to Crochet Joins!
If you have completed the crochet courses in the School of SweetGeorgia, you may be ready to work on bigger pieces that require joins. Under the guidance of instructor Charlotte Lee, students in Crochet Joins will learn four joining techniques: pick up and work in the round, single crochet join, slip stitch join, and whip stitch join. And you’ll get to practice each technique by making a coordinating project, including a small tray, pouch, handbag, and a larger tote.
By the end of the course, you will know how and when to use these four joins for future projects like garments and joining crochet squares. The sky’s the limit!
Throughout the videos, you’ll learn:
- How to pick up and work in the round, making Tina’s Jewelry Tray
- How to single crochet join to make the Strawberry Pouch
- How to slip stitch join and make the Gogo Handbag
- How to whip stitch by making the Mountain Peaks Tote
- How to wet block your finished items

Crochet is a medium made for colour. From simple stripes to tapestry crochet to intricate pieced motifs, the opportunities to play with colours are endless and unique. Due to the specific textural and structural properties of crochet, colour combinations may interact differently than in other fibre arts, so intentionality is key. In this article, we’ll look at an important aspect of crochet colour play: value.
