Making a crochet seam The Soft Linen Jacket called for an exposed seam, but we had trouble getting it to look right. We tried many different ways of getting this seam to show on the outside of the garment, but  each technique displayed something we weren't thrilled with—except the crocheted one. Crocheted seams can be used as a regular seaming technique on the inside of the garment or as a way of creating a uniform seam on the outside of a garment, as in the Soft Linen Jacket.
Seam showing on the outside of a garment: Hold your pieces with the wrong sides facing each other. Looking at the right sides of your piece, *insert your crochet hook from the front to back (photo 1), through both pieces of fabric. Work a single crochet as follows: Yarn over the hook, pull loop through both pieces of fabric (2 loops on hook, photo 2). yarn over the hook and pull through both loops on hook; repeat from * along seam.
Seam showing on the inside of a garment: Work as above holding the pieces with the right sides facing each other, and look at the wrong sides of your piece while seaming.
