What I find reduces the amount of slanting, is when you come to the end of a round sl st to the first st then chain one and start the next round. If find that this helps with traveling seams and to some extent the slanting.

You could try using the waistcoat stitch in areas where you need the colours to line up. The other thing you could do is to chain 1 and turn at the end of every row, which will negate the slant but it also creates a different look.

When you crochet in spiral the stitches will naturally slant. One thing I like to do is design around it and use it to my advantage. Another thing you can do is try crocheting with a seam which means you end each round with a sl st and a chain.

Apparently working in the front loop only does fix this. I’m not sure if it makes the stitches too loose, that’s always a problem when I work in the front or back loop. I personally haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve seen it a few places now. It may be worth a try!
