Invisible Join (mid work)

Whilst the amigurumi method of crochet (working in continuous spirals) is great there are times when joined rounds are best. Joined rounds keep the height of each round even and can make colour change rows look clean. However, using the traditional method of slip stitching into the first stitch of the round can create a visible seam which distracts from your work. The invisible join method prevents this seam and helps to keep your work smooth and even throughout.
