Kitchener Stitch

This knitting technique video tutorial demonstrates how to graft two sections of knitted stockinette stitch together using the Kitchener stitch method. This is a common way of grafting stitches at a small seam, particularly for cuff-down sock toes and afterthought heels, and it produces a tidy, seamless-looking final result. The video shows tips and tricks about how to make the finished graft look smooth and rounded, with no obvious corners or "bunny ears" at the beginning and end of the seam.
