Journey of this join: I was trying different join from single crochet, slip stitch in both loops or inside loops slip stitch. For these three joins, For me , I like the look of the slip stitch inside loops but its holey when stretch(my opinion only). Then sewing method came to mind. I was searching sewing stitches then embroidery stitch called Cable plait stitch showed up. It looks so neat. I was excited trying it using tapestry needle but ended cutting the yarn because It didn't work(was hard to rip it off and re done it). Then I was focusing on just using a crochet hook only because it's easy to rip it off when you get mistake & I used the cable plait stitch as an inspiration. After trying several times inserting hook in different loops: Zigzag slip stitch join finally made. And I am happy to share. Thank you so much.

These look very tidy/neat and pretty when finished. You've done a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing.
in all the 60 years of crocheting I have done I've never see a nicer and neater way to hook squares together. All I've seen is a hump line not a nice smooth line like this one . I hate to sew squares together there for I have NEVER made anything I had to put together. Now my possibilities are endless Thank you so much

You're very welcome. I'm with you. I hate sewing squares together too because when I miss up something it's hard to take it off. This joined is a little tricky at first but when get used to it. It's faster.
This has to be the prettiest look for joining crochet together that I have ever seen!! And I've been crocheting for 50 years!!!

This makes so much sense! Your join should never lean over with this technique!
Every single time I have to join squares together I come back to your video just to get a refresher… This is absolutely my favorite join ever. Thank you so much!
LOVE this joining method for Afghan squares. I'm so glad you showed how to join the other way on the second pass. It's nice to see the part where you cross over the first pass. TYSM for sharing this video with us.
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely and unique joining stitch! I love how it adds visual texture and compliments the overall design without being too complicated or look too busy. I especially love that it's done with a hook and not a darning needle. Sewing with needles has become very hard on my hands as I age. I'm so grateful you have given us this beautiful alternative to the same old joins.
I've been crocheting over 20 years and have never seen anything like this. I've looked at all kinds of joints and never seen this. I absolutely love it!!!. Making squares now and can't wait to join them with this stitch! Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
This is such a pretty, neat, & super easy join ! I'm so glad I found this before joining my squares for the baby blanket I'm making ! Thank you for this tutorial🥰
I love the way this joining method works. i ave been searching everywhere for a join that would work with the willow square. This looks to be the answer to my prayers. Thank you. xx
Just what I was looking for...a neat contrast join on a blanket...not hidden but an additional pretty feature. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Love this joining method. I have squares to join into a rug. Haven’t joined them because I find the methods are ugly and spoil the overall affect. This is pretty, lays flat and is neat on both sides. I agree it looks like ric Rac trim. Thank you sharing your design.
Love this way of joining squares! It’s so quick and makes the blanket much stronger! Thanks for sharing
This is the best joining method I have seen. I love the structure of the piece! Thank you for your video. It’s wonderful. Can’t wait for more!
This is my favorite way of joining... I have been using this way for years and absolutely love it. Great video and well explained.
This is the most beautiful & probably the easiest joining of crocheted pieces I’ve ever seen! It’s simply gorgeous!
Love this way of joining squares - nice and flat, no ridge. Can’t wait to try it!
What a charming join. I’ve never seen a join like this-and it’s so easy. Thank you!
Just love the join. One of the nicest and neatest one I have seen.
Absolutely love this join. It’s not only pretty, but functional too!
I love how neat and thin the line looks when finished.
I love this look, it reminds me of the fancy yet simple decoration around small little cakes🍰💗.
That stitch is absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍 so happy I found this
I absolutely love this concept of joining squares together! Will look amazing with a baby blanket. Thank you so much for sharing!😊

Lovely joining stitches! I wished I had found this video earlier, but it's never too late! Thank you so much ❤
i've never liked doing any kind of crochet work with joining edges, because all the ways i did never looked as pretty and perfect as yours. And the backside looks just as neat. :) Thank you for sharing this. Now i finally can do a square joining project and not fear the ugly join.

That is absolutely beautiful. Truly lovely joining 😊
I thank you sooooooo much for sharing. I was looking for a nice, easy, clean technique to connect my squares. There we go!!!! I am so happy for this!
I used this stitch on a queen size blanket, it took 6 days to join all the squares but it was worth it! I LOVE it! ❤ it’s perfect for that patchwork look. I’ve gotten so many compliments and nobody has ever seen it before. I’ve sent your video link to a few people already! Thank you! 🙏🏼
I love this tutorial! This is a beautiful joining technique. Thank you!!
What a lovely join is this! And a really good made tutorial. Thank you a lot! I am going to use it to join my knitted squares of the Arne & Carlos quarantine knitting podcast. I have knitted the first 18 paterns they designed and am going to turn them into a "hug-me-later"-cussion. Great video! 👍😍
Awww I’m so impressed I’ve never seen a join so pretty so loving it
So simple AND so perfect. Thank-you for sharing your discovery. This will now be my “go-to” stitch for joining any kind of crocheted item! How clever you are. 👏 👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
Love it! So easy, and it looks so nice. Thank you very much for sharing this video!
Amazing! I can’t wait to try this. My least favorite thing about making squares is joining them. This should solve that problem. Thank you so much for the video.

I have shied away from squares because of joining - Hate it ! But this is lovely and now I’m thinking I’ll be using this very soon ! Great tutorial and I’m a new subscriber ♥️ 🧶
Beautifully done, thank you! I have 2twenty 15-1/2" quilt blocks that I crocheted around and wanted something stronger than a whip stitch. This will be very sturdy and hold the blocks together really well.
I have been looking for ages on how to neatly join my Bavarian Squares that I made for a large blanket. This is by far the easiest and neatest way the I have found. Thank you. 😊
Karen: Great demonstration I wish I had found this a week ago. I accepted a project with 92 pcs. She wanted Hand slip stitch All thru out the connections. I did this for all the longitudinal squares but it looked sad, your stitch is Lovely! And your video was simple and most visually understandable😙. The kind I love. Well this is how I will connect All the pieces Laterally. I'm going to become a dedicated subscriber keep up the great work and videos!

Bless your heart for making this video and sharing this joining technique!!! It’s pretty, it’s neat, and completely flat, plus the back side looks great as well. I can’t stand the bulky look or feel of the single crochet joining. The simple zigzag is by far the best. 😍

I’m currently using this method on a blanket for someone, and it’s the easiest, fastest, effective, error correcting method I’ve seen. Definitely a favourite!
Love this! I’m looking for a cute way to join stuffed animal crocheted pieces.
Love the look of this method- both sides look great so a good choice for blankets. Thanks!
This is so neat looking. I've never made a blanket that needed to be joined, but when I finlu do, I plan to use this stitch to join. This is stunning!!
Really love this zig zag join. Thank you so much for sharing!!
My afghan looks so professional with this join stitch. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video! I tried different methods to join the squares for my blanket, but yours is the best by far! It looks amazing!❤️
I developed this way of joining some years ago. Happy to see that others did, too! It‘s the most balanced and most beautiful way, in my opinion.
Stunning joining

Oh my! That cushion is so pretty.
Wow the best join ever! Thank you!
I absolutely love this stitch on this blanket. I'm making your starburst blanket now and fixing to start putting it together.

I'm so glad I came across your tutorial. This joining stitch makes the project look finished. It reminds me of a zigzag stitch when sewing. You definitely gave me something I can go back to when I'm ready for a joining project, thank you.
