Crocheting in the round, also known as circular crochet, is a technique used to create seamless, cylindrical or tubular pieces such as hats, bags, amigurumi, or coasters. It involves crocheting continuously around and around in a spiral, joining the first and last stitches of each round to form a continuous loop.
This technique offers several advantages. It eliminates the need for seaming or joining separate pieces, resulting in a smooth, uninterrupted surface. Crocheting in the round also allows for easy shaping and customization. By increasing or decreasing the number of stitches in each round, you can create a variety of shapes, such as bell-shaped hats or fitted garments.
