[@theastewart6721]

Hi Maryna. What a cool technique! Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely weekend.🩷

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Thea :-) You too, have a great weekend 🌞

Thank you so much, Maryna! ❤

[@10rowsaday]

You are most welcome, Gail :-) Happy knitting!

[@jpeood32]

you knocked it our of the park once again!

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Johnnie. You are very kind :-)

[@helenegm3255]

Looks great! Wish there was a version for us left-handed folks!

[@10rowsaday]

Follow the same steps, but start from the left side of the fabric. Happy knitting :-)

You are so welcome :-)

Looks much easier than the Kitchener stitch. Can't wait to give it a try. Thank you.

Thank you for this lovely tutorial. I have been using a three needle bind off for shoulders. This technique looks decorative, firm, and not nearly as bulky. I love learning a new skill and your tutorials are so comfortable to follow.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Marilyn :-) It means a lot to me to know that you find my tutorials helpful. Thank you, my friend!

Thank you!

I like this a lot. I’d really like to see what it looks like when done with your actual working yarn instead of the contrasting color.

[@10rowsaday]

The chain of stitches looks exactly the same, but the colour doesn't stand out. You'll see it when you give it a try. Happy knitting, my friend!

It will be interesting trying to make this work for a left-hander who knits in the right-handed way.

[@10rowsaday]

I am a left-handed knitter who knits in the right-handed way :-) Just follow the steps that I demonstrate in this video, and you'll form a beautiful seam that looks like a chain of stitches. Happy knitting!

Beautiful! And so well explained, as always. I used to do similar with strips for afghans, but the edges were finished. With live stitches, this is a GREAT method for shoulder seams and I can't wait to try it : ) Thank you !

[@esmekaffen4961]

Thanks for another great one! Not sure if it’s because I’m a lefty, but I’ve never been able to master Kitchener stitch, so thank you!❤

[@sarahgamblenz]

Great, thank you. I like the visible chain stitch. Would also like to try it on the reverse side and see how it looks on the right side. I can also see the potential for NOT pulling it thru the last stitch, but keepingvthe stitches on the hook, which would leave you with a nice join but live stitches you could carry on knitting with... interesting but can't quite see the application for that, but I think it would work!

[@esmekaffen4961]

Yes, I wondered how it would look with the chain on the inside too!

[@10rowsaday]

That's a great idea! This lovely chain would look gorgeous on reverse stockinette. Thank you, my friend!

Would this be too thick for a sock.

[@10rowsaday]

Yes, it could be a bit thick for finishing the toe part of a sock, especially if it is a sock that you plan to wear inside a shoe. In this case, it is better to use the alternative to Kitchener stitch described in this video tutorial - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHXGl5mvbtKArac But if you are after an invisible seam, Kitchener stitch is the best option. Happy knitting!
