This invisible seam is one of my favorite ways to join together any of my crochet projects that need seaming like garments and granny squares. Although there are many different ways to join crochet pieces together, this is not the only way, but I do think it is the best way!

This invisible seam, when done the correct way, hides the seaming yarn so that you can essentially use any color you want. It is not bulky and nearly invisible on the back as well!

Notes and Tips:
You will always work this invisible join with the right side facing.
You will always work in the back loops (when available) and not the front loop when creating this joining method. 
You should have the same number of stitches on each piece you are joining so that your seam is even.
This seaming method can work on any stitch that allows you access to the back loop (single crochet, double crochet, etc.) However, if you need to join in the side of a stitch I would highly recommend you add a row of single crochet in the row ends to keep your seam even.
If you have to work in row ends and not the traditional way this seaming method is designed you will follow the same technique but be very careful of stitch placement to keep your seam even.
If done correctly you should not be able to see the yarn used to join and the seam will also be neat on the wrong side of your project.
If you have an extra stitch you can pull back a few stitches in your seam and pick up an extra stitch by essentially wrapping your needle around a back loop so that you can come ack up into the next one.
You are essentially creating a modified figure eight when you do this invisible joining method, make sure to always work in the last worked stitch as you move your way up on your crochet pieces. 
My rule of thumb is to double the length of what I will be seaming and add 50% of the original length to that. So if I am seaming a 6 inch square I will need 15 inches to seam: 6(2) + 3 = 15
