Grafting knitted stitches together is a helpful technique to master and have in your crafting tool box of knowledge. My preference for cuff down socks means that I am always grafting my final toe stitches together.
Grafting can also be used to secure panels together for garments and blankets, or when you need to alter the length of something if you are doing a bit of a cut and paste job to your knitting.
Knowing that a lot of people struggle to remember how to graft knitting together, I have created some graphics to help you remember the flow of the four steps required.
Note: Grafting is also referred to as Kitchener Stitch. However, Kitchener was a controversial character, so you will increasingly hear and see the term ‘grafting’ used instead.
