After 2 days of frustration after learning 3 different ways to graft I finally came across this ingenious way to graft that I can wrap my brain around! I am knitting my first pair of socks and it is also my first graft. I was considering that maybe knitting socks is not my thing when you turned it all around and I’m already making another pair with a grafted toe! Thank you! Bless you! ❤️🙏🏼❤️

My dear Lady, I am finally over 80 and have been knitting/crocheting for over 60 years and I guess I am finally getting a little careless. I was putting a sweater jacket together when in my HORROR discovered the extra long back I had made for a tall son, was forgotten when I made both left & right fronts. Ok manager to take one apart and extended same to fit but how to reattach? I must have looked at my project for at least 4/5 days, trying different options, knew there had to be a way but never having messed up so well in all my years, I had no idea how. Cheryl you saved me. Not only a full explanation but a wonderful clear video which was very easy to follow and it did the trick. Not used to all the internet has to offer yet so out of desperation I typed in "how do I join two pieces of knitting" and you were there to save me. The best example of all the articles listed. Thank you hardly covers it. If I ever get stuck again, you will be the one I come looking for. Your name is now "saved". LOL Thanks again.

Sandra! Thank you for this lovely comment and I'm so grateful this helped you out. I worked one day a week in a yarn shop for 10 years and people graciously brought me their worst problems. I learned a lot that way, though I must say, I frightened a few people by taking my scissors to their work. But it all ended well. :D

Lol, I mess up all the time. The sheer amount of unpicking I've done over the years is horrendous. I get furious at myself, but it has to be done. Lace and aran patterns can't be reasoned with. Miss a row here and there and it's glaringly obvious. At least you CAN unpick knitting. Tatting is a swine. I usually cut out the bad bit, join in the ends and have a lot of sewing in of the ends to do when it's finished.

I discovered a problem with the heel of a sock I had been knitting. Because I was actually getting close to having enough length on the foot, I didn't want to unravel. I decided I'd do a little sock surgery and put the foot on waste yarn, unraveling the heel, gusset, and heel flap. Once I got the heel flap, heel and gusset reworked, I was really worried about grafting on the foot. I've used Kitchener stitch many times, but it's always a challenge. I came across this video and feel like this explanation is the best I've seen on a grafting! Thank you, Cheryl.

This is the best tutorial for me and how my mind works. I looked at several other videos, and, yes, they were helpful in explaining the concept of kitchener in a way I understood. However, when it came time to execute the work, I just could not 'see' it. It didn't help that my yarn was fuzzy either. As Cheryl explains, it helps to have the work flat so you can see the pattern of the stitches. I couldn't do it with needles in, so I ran a contrasting thread of yarn through the stitches. This way works best for me and I look forward to doing this type of grafting for my next project. Thank you for the upload! Very helpful indeed.

I recently had to fix a hole in a sock and it was very hard for me to follow along a how-to to graft using the Kitchener stitch. It was even more confusing when a right handed person was doing it and I am left hand. I need to figure out how to go in the opposite direction upside down. In another vid I tried to learn how to do this and it was much harder to understand how to follow the pattern. This was great!

Hi Cheryl - This was terrific! Kitchener videos that kept repeating "knitwise" and "purlwise" were driving me crazy because my natural self-taught method approaches the stitch post reversed from normal English and Continental knitting (but it gets the job done...) This was super clear and - of course - it is so much better to look at your knitting and understand what you need to accomplish - then do it!

I have what might well be the craziest questions you've ever received. I was completely inspired by what you have shown in this video and your wonderful videos on the fixing a hole and reclaiming yarn and thought there might be a possibility to fix a series of problems I've created in my knitting rather than starting over. THE SITUATION: I've begun my first top down sweater and am at the place of working the sleeves, which involve carrying forward a pattern of 11 seed stitches that run from the collar down the sleeves. In assessing my knitting, I found the seed stitches look excessively tight and I had knitting errors close to the top. As I went about correcting them - not a quick fix - I noticed the result looked even worse. I watched a simple how to purl video and realized that I had unknowingly created twisted seed stitches, which answered the question of why the stitches looked tight and also gave reason for the different look of the corrected stitches and those I had been creating. Additionally, I have been using a two-ply wool yarn, which became somewhat mangled/worn out in my over-handling during corrections. THE QUESTION: Is it possible to isolate the 11 stitches, pull them all out to their beginnings, put the live stitches from which they began on a stitch holder, soak them in a warm bath or saturate them with warm water spray, wrap them in a towel, hang them to dry, and recreate the columns in correct knit purl to form rows of seed stitches again? If not, would it be possible to keep the body of the sweater, which is all nicely knit and graft it to a newly created top? Do I win the prize for craziest questions ever? Thank you for considering my situation and for your lovely and amazing videos.

Hi Cheryl. I have bought your book on sweaters and love it. This grafting method is very clear. I don't know why Americans (I'm not one) use ditties to memorize procedures, I don't think it helps, it only brings more confusion. What's a rabbit hole doing in a piece of knitting? More effort is brought to connect the text with the work than with doing the work itself.

Thank you! This was exactly what I needed!! I had knit a sweater in the round from the bottom up, and somehow it ended up too short. So I had to undo the bottom and add more. Very clear, easy to follow tutorial.

Thanks so much for this video. I have had several projects were I used a 3 needle bind off where this would have worked so much better. The lifeline tip is a really good suggestion. I have a cowl pattern I will be starting today. I plan to use a provisional cast on and then use this method to join the ends. Can't wait to try it!,

You are so welcome Sharon. I still like a 3-needle bind-off where I need structure like a shoulder seam, but this technique has lots of applications. Thanks for watching and commenting.

"Aran knitting" is a very big category. It depends of the edges you are joining and how they were prepared. As for sewing together seed st, it absolutely can be sewn together to look good. Go to my Sweater Finishing 101 series. It shows a stockinette sweater being sewn together but you can do a variation of the mattress st (a whole or half stitch "weave" I call it) on most edges.

I generally don't recommend using this method for shoulder seams Dinah because they perform an important structural job in keeping the shoulders and sleeves from drooping. I recommend the 3-needle bind off. I can't give you a link here because KZitem forbids it but search for "How to Knit a Sweater Part 6: Join the Shoulder Seams" on my channel and you'll find it.

Thank you for watching and commenting Gilda. And you're welcome. I'm glad this explanation helped. Browse my videos going forward and there's one about working in yarn ends with the "spider web" method. Then the latest one about fixing a hole shows the whole process. I can't give you a link here because Google doesn't allow it but you'll be able to find them.

Thank you so much for answering. I watched the suggested videos. Still, my doubt about the edges is: it seems to me that one less stitch (than the original number in the needles) is created, being half less in each edge. I'm getting very comfortable with the process, but it seems uneven in the edges (your technique and the standard too). Am I doing wrong ? (your videos are amazing ! very encouraging and helpful !)

You're not doing anything wrong. When you're bringing 2 pieces of knitting together that have been knit in opposite directions (at the toe of a sock, for example), the knitting will be jogged 1/2 st off and one simply "fudges" at the ends and hides that fact the best he or she can. In this video the knitting was all going in the same direction so the pieces went together perfectly.

Again, thank you so much !! Exactly, I was grafting 2 pieces of knitting that had been knit in opposite directions (2 sides of a baby girl bonnet). I found your videos by chance, because of my "grafting" research, and I'm so glad I did it. I watched all your videos of this series. You're an excellent teacher ! Tks again.

I'm actually quite comfortable with the Kitchener stitch - which I prefer to 'knit' off with my needles rather than 'sew' off with a tapestry needle - but I love this technique!! It would be a bit more tricky to visualize when grafting the toe of a sock, say, but for flat knitting or circular knitting that's not tapering significantly, this is great stuff!!

I have been trying to figure out a way to pre-knit Christmas stockings for my hoped-for greatgranchildren, but since I don't know the names I wanted to knit the bottom portion and separately the top portion where I could add the name and then join. I think this is the way to do it. I am thrilled. Thank you so much. Now to put the info where I can find it. BTW Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
