Kitchener Stitch:
Kitchener stitch is used to graft knitting together creating a seamless appearance. This technique is done using live stitches that are usually held by stitch holders, or yarn.
-
Slide your tapestry needle through the first stitch on the front needle as if to knit. Pull the yarn through and drop that stitch off of the needle.
- Now pass your tapestry needle through the next stitch on the front needle as if to purl and pull the yarn through DON’T drop this stitch off of the needle.
- Now pass the tapestry needle through the first stitch on the back needle as if to purl and drop that stitch off of the needle, pulling the yarn through snuggly.
- Now pass your tapestry needle through the second stitch on the back needle as if to knit, DON’T drop this stitch off of the needle.
Repeat steps 1-4 working all of the stitches snuggly and then pull the yarn through to the wrong side and weave in the ends.
