Grafting stitches

Описание: This video shows how to graft stitches together to create a sewn bind-off edge. This can be used at the toe of a sock. This is also a variation of the sewn tubular bind-off on one needle. The example project shown is a variation of Textured Marble Fidget Toy.

I like to think about grafting using 4 stitches: 2 from the front needle and 2 from the back. Maintain even tension as you work through these steps to create a smooth finish.

Here's a quick summary-- these steps are also marked with timestamps in the video.

Step 1: Insert tapestry needle into first stitch on front needle as if to knit. Pull yarn through, and pull stitch off the needle.
Step 2: Insert tapestry needle into next stitch on front needle as if to purl. Pull yarn through, and leave stitch on the needle.
Step 3: Insert tapestry needle into first stitch on back needle as if to purl. Pull yarn through, and pull stitch off the needle.
Step 4: Insert tapestry needle into next stitch on back needle as if to knit. Pull yarn through, and leave stitch on the needle.

Continue to work the 4 steps until all stitches have been worked. NOTE: the final time through, you will work Steps 1 and 3.

Another way to join live stitches is using a 3-needle bind-off. Find my video here:    • 3-needle bind-off / 3-needle join
