How to Crochet Straight Seams with Half Double Crochet (HDC) Perfectly

[@tonijones6657]

Thank you! That HDC back seam was driving me bonkers!!!

Thanks for detailed verbal instructions & working slow enough I can follow easily.

Thank you for the tutorial! I'm making a large crochet basket to store art supplies in and I just wasn't loving how it looked with the slanted seam... starting it over and using this trick. I'm already loving the way it looks so much more!

Wow, this looks like it can be done with dc too. Nice. I really like the smooth transition how it looks. Wish I had learned the tip and trick before. Cause mine always slanted and it was so discouraging. Thank you again for another great tip and trick to make our crocheting better.

Thank you for this. I'm about to start a summer hat for my grand-daughter in hdc and will definitely be trying this technique to avoid the slanted join 😊

NICKI I always follow you great
tips for crochet. I notice in this HDC demo you do not ch up before first stitch. Is that true for all rounds, and w/ HDC only or SC,HDC,DC. Thank you and Happy New Year 2025 !!
