Step 1

Lay your two pieces down side to side, RS facing you. Anchor your yarn in the LH piece and then in the RH piece.

Step 2

Step 3

Repeat Step 2 on the RH piece, then back to the left, then the right again for a few stitches, leaving the working yarn loose.

Step 4

Pull the working yarn tight. This will ‘zip’ the two sides together, leaving an almost invisible seam. Continue working in this manner until seam is complete.
