How to knit Kitchener stitch


In this DROPS video we show how to knit Kitchener stitch. This means knitting two parts together with an invisible seam. This is a perfect technique for the top of the toes on a sock, shoulders etc.

Have your sts on each needle with right sides out. Working yarn attached in the back piece. Following 4 steps are being repeated:
1. go purl-wise into first st on front needle, pull yarn through, lift st off needle.
2. go knit-wise into next st on front needle, pull yarn through (leave st on needle).
3. go knit wise into first st on back needle, pull yarn through, lift st off needle.
4. go purl-wise into next st on back needle, pull yarn through (leave st on needle).
