   Thank you. This was very helpful. I kept getting confused with the little bar between the stitches. I have worked in the round often, just hadn’t joined before.

   Hi,
   Currently i am making your claptrap amigurumi 🙂
   But my seam is not straight and it is twisting its body. Is that normal? And is there a solution to this?

     You can’t avoid that sadly.

   Do we need to chain 1 every time we finish a round and slip stitch~?

     Yes. If you didn’t, your first stitch of every round would be stumpy and shorter than the others.

   Hi, thank you for your tutorial. I understand how I have to slipstitch and chain one. But my seem is not a straight line, because my stitches are still a bit like a spiral, so does my seem… what do I do wrong? I slipstitch in the first stitch of the last round, I chain one and I single crochet in the same stitch as I slipstitched into.

   I hope you can help me. Thank you.

     It’s normal that it sort of twists a bit. The “stacked neatly one on top of the other” is relative. As long as it is just a bit of a turn you are doing it correctly. Often the visibility of the offset is greatly reduced when you stuff the piece.

   Does working in rounds vs spiral affect the look of your amigurumi creation?

     Yes. Worked in the round tends to make rounded or spherical objects look more fluid whereas joined is more symmetrical and stitches are more inline. Whether or not that matters to you depends on what you are making and which you prefer.
