What are continuous rounds?
Brush up on your technique with our simple guide...
A continuous round in crochet is just the same as a spiral round, and they’re most often used to make amigurumi toys. If you’re not familiar with either of these terms, don’t worry! They’re easy to hook, and I’ll explain everything you need to know in this workshop.
