I have a huge challenge with making a professional looking seam when crochet hats. Could you please give a tutorial on this

@karriels That is something that will happen to everyone. When you are working with individual stitches, it is important to count so you do not stray to far off track. If you do end up with an extra stitch or two, most likely it will not affect the outcome of the project.

I have a hard time deciphering where to start crocheting in the next rnd after I sl st. I always end up with the wrong stitch count.

@Lovemegoofy: Use stitch markers to mark first and last stitches. I use bobby pins (hair pins) but you can use paper clips, safety pins, or just a piece of contrasting color yarn pulled through to mark the stitch.
Hi Teresa you and your wonderful videos have taught me how to crochet. I've been running into a seam problem with every hat I've done changing colors or not. With the dc you connect your round with the top or 3rd stitch with slip stitch. Why do I have gaps in the seam and how can I prevent this from happening? Thank you so much for your help.

@misfit0429 When a chain is worked and rounds joined, it will create a seam. Using the continual round will eliminate a seam. If you prefer to join, I like to work a chain 1 first and then a full stitch in the first stitch with Double Crochet and half double crochet. The chain 1 will not count as a stitch. When you get around to the beginning, you will join below the two loops at the top of the stitch.

I think this method leaves a seam that is to obvious. Anybody know how to make it look seamless?

@Pokdejj Working with the continual round is the only way to make a seamless round.
