Needed a refresher to make sure I remembered the steps correctly. (I graft much more in stockinette!) This is the best tutorial I’ve seen of this technique. Thanks.
Thank you! I have just managed to finish a garter stitch cardigan for my new granddaughter with your help. The pattern is in Danish and I had not translated all of it before I started. To my alarm it just said "store the stitches on a pin" and then "put right sides together, knit stitches and cast off at the same time". I was completely stuck! Actually I also have you to thank for the button holes, the mattress side seams, the stair step under arm seams and the Icelandic bind off. I feel like I've been to a masterclass!
This is so wonderful to hear, Laura, I am so happy everything worked out in the end! Thanks for watching and thank you, also, for the lovely feedback! ❤️
Thanks so much for this. As always, both video and explanation made it easy to follow. Your tutorials are my go-to these days whenever I have a knitting question!
This video was so slow (which is good!) and had such clear instructions! I shared it with my friends as well. Before watching this video, I had watched a couple others that just confused me and I ended up having to undo my "grafting" twice, but got it right after watching this video only once! Thank you very much!
Left-handed in a right-handed world - It wasn't pretty, but I did it! Thank you for all you videos; I have learned so much from you and my knitting has improved a lot!
Thank you for this video. I've been trying to learn how to graft my garter stitch cowl for the past three days and tried three different tutorials. This one finally made it click. The thing that helped the most was the statement "working under the ends of the needles" and the contrasting thread.
Interesting. This technique is even easier to remember than regular kitchener because you have the same sequence on both the front and back needles. Thanks, Suzanne!
Thanks for the clear instructions!! I like to use kitchener stitch on blankets as I do them in two halves as I like continuity with both ends having the cast-on edge.
Thank you! Just used this to graft a petal dishcloth and I can't tell where the graft is. :) The last time I grafted, I just used the regular kitchener stitch like I use for socks and it was obvious. Love your videos!
I'll soon need to graft two halves of a scarf/wrap and checked to see if you happened to have a video on grafting garter stitch and of course you did! Terrific video! Thanks so much.
I am knitting a garter stitch hat...so there is a right and a wrong side to my fabric. Which side should face out.. both right or both wrong sides. I am grafting from the crown down to the brim edge. Thank you!
If you have live stitches, yes. It would really look lovely and create a line down the center where they meet. If you don't have live stitches - just use a small needle and go along and pick up a stitch from each purl bump. Or, you could pick the bumps up themselves and use the Russian Graft - th-cam.com/video/M8dNYTMJYq0/w-d-xo.html
There are two possible ways to kitchen ribbing. The first is if the stitches are going in the same direction, for example you are joining a cowl or something like that where you are joining the last row to the first row. That is easy. The other is if you are joining stitches that are going in opposite directions, for example a shoulder seam. That will never give you a perfect join. It is impossible because the stitches will always be off by ½ stitch from each other. The best join for a shoulder worked in pattern is to use 3 needle bind off, in my opinion. If you are joining two pieces that go in the same direction, yes, I have a video that includes that - th-cam.com/video/gwB51y5-S7w/w-d-xo.html. Let me know if that helps. th-cam.com/video/gwB51y5-S7w/w-d-xo.html
Knitting with Suzanne Bryan - Your videos are very helpful. However, the Nennir Cowl that I need to graft, has two border sections of K’s & Ps., plus mid section that contains garter, reverse stockinette and stockinette (cables) It is a celtic cable pattern . It seems very complicated to me because of all the shifts of differing pattern stitches that are to be grafted. An alternative, in the pattern instructions, also suggest 3 needle bind off, if the knitter chooses not to graft in pattern. I think the complication of stitch patterns on this project are a little too complicated for me to do without in person help. I have practiced doing garter grafting and I got the hang of it easily. But because there are so many changes throughout the row, I get lost (making the transition from one kind of stitch pattern to another).Thanks again, for all the wonderful videos and classes.
Hello! Is there a technique to Kitchener stitch 3 layers of knitted fabric? I’m trying to finish up a removable pillow cover and the area where the three layers meet has me stumped. Any help you can give me will me appreciated.
I would treat it the same as 3 needle bind off. Treat the first two needles as the front needle and the 3rd needle as the back needle. Work the stitches on the first two needles in tandem.
Thank you so very much!!!! I can’t tell you just how much you’ve helped me, not only with this but for over a year now since I picked up knitting again. I tell my husband about your awesome videos and method of teaching. 😊
You can do that by using TH-cam Red. But otherwise, I would not make any money on my TH-cam videos. I do make a very small income from these videos. It helps cover my yarn diet!
Thanks to your tutorials I use the Kitchener graft all the time for hoods....but I always have to find your videos to start me off again, thank you!
You are so welcome!
I think I watched at least five other videos trying to learn this and could not make sense of it until I saw yours. It just “clicked”. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I so appreciate your tutorials. They are so clear and easy to follow. You are a "go to" for my knitting questions.

Wonderful! Happy New Year.

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. Seeing the difference between kitchenering stockinette and kitchenering garter was very helpful to me.

You're very welcome, NZ! I'm sure your blankets are beautiful! 😊
that different color thread.. REALLY made my day.. i got it much easier.. thanks for sharing
I was thinking it would help to "see" the process. Thank you! Hugs and Happy Knitting.

I just seamed the shoulder of sweater. It looks very beautiful.
Wonderful!
Fantastic, thanks a million!
You're so welcome, Sandra! ❤️
Good visual...currently working on the lamplighter's hat....now the grafting is a combination of various designs...something new to learn..deb
I am working on a series of videos for grafting in various patterns. Keep an eye out for it. Happy New Year!
very clear instructions... thanks a bunch
Thank you!
Thanks again and again for sharing❤️
Thank you and happy knitting.
You are AMAZING! Thank you.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching, Ana!
I am knitting a garter stitch hat...so there is a right and a wrong side to my fabric. Which side should face out.. both right or both wrong sides. I am grafting from the crown down to the brim edge. Thank you!
garter stitch is the same on both sides, either can be the RS or WS. You can do it either way and it should look great. 🧶
Thanks again🌸🌼🌹
Always welcome
Very inspirational video. Pl tell that before grafting should we block both pieces?
In this case, you should block afterwards. Great question.
@@SuzanneBryan Thanks a lot Ma'am.I like all your videos too much because you teach very intricately.
Worked beautifully first time - I cannot see where my graft is. Many thanks
Very awesome! Happy knitting.
Thank you 💕
You’re very welcome, Anne-Marie! 😊
it´s fantastic!!! Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
Thank you for this very clear video.
Would this technique be the best one to use to graft together two bias edges in garter stitch?
If you have live stitches, yes. It would really look lovely and create a line down the center where they meet. If you don't have live stitches - just use a small needle and go along and pick up a stitch from each purl bump. Or, you could pick the bumps up themselves and use the Russian Graft - th-cam.com/video/M8dNYTMJYq0/w-d-xo.html

Happy Holidays.
Do you have a video that shows how to kitchener in pattern stitches, i.e., purls and knits across rows?

You could always make a swatch of the start and a swatch of the finish and try grafting, before you go to the three needle bind off.

You can use needle tail or ending to seam it. That won't be separate the yarn. Otherwise, it will be difficult to pull the yarn or loops
exactly.
I'd rather use a video that does not have advertising attached to it.
You can do that by using TH-cam Red. But otherwise, I would not make any money on my TH-cam videos. I do make a very small income from these videos. It helps cover my yarn diet!
Thanks again🌸🌼🌹
