Update – This join is now called “PLT Join” – this will help when searching for tutorials – thank you for visiting!
Admin Mary here! Hello!
I chose to do a tight join for my Bear’s Blanket. This is my first tutorial, so hopefully it makes sense… Let me know if there is anything I can improve on. I’m here to make it as clear as I can. 🙂
If any of you have nabbed Rachele’s great Gumball pattern, then this joining method is going to be easy-peasy for you. I modified what she had, and decided to not join the two DCs that I put into the corners, and instead join every DC along the side. Basically, you make a DC, then drop if off your hook, go into the top of the DC on the other square, grab the loop on the DC you made, and pull it through… continue until everything is joined. If there’s interest, I’d be happy to post a tutorial. Just let me know! It makes for a very strong, finished join… as seen here:
Also, I have been really excited seeing all the progress everyone else is making… check out a few of them!

CAL Admins, Mary and myself have made adjustments to the pattern that I decided to document.
Admin Mary made her final round with DC across, 2DC ch2 2DC in corners. Loving the pink!
I am using a different square altogether, because I have been wanting to do this particular configuration for a long time.
I’m thrilled to see some enthusiastic joiners 🙂
Lovely color inspiration here, too. Great job y’all!
