How to Use the Mattress Stitch for Side Seams | Crochet Tutorial

I show you how to use the mattress stitch to invisibly seam the sides of crochet fabric. The technique is similar to the traditional mattress stitch, but rather than sewing through the tops of the stitches, you work through the post of the stitches.

I cover 3 stitches: single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), and double crochet (dc). This is because the stitch heights are different, therefore seaming looks different for each stitch.
