[@ruthclive-smith]

Hello from South Africa 🇿🇦 Thku for this demonstration. You are just THE best teacher of knitting techniques on Utube SoSo glad I found you ❤️ Have been doing a lot of knitting whilst we have had C19 to deal with. Learning new techniques One positive enjoyment for me while dealing with a horrible Virus . Keep safe everyone Ruth Clive- Smith

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much, Ruth :-) Stay safe and happy, my friend!

[@tracyvision]

Thank you so much - not just for showing an easy way to do the stitch, but the specifics, like how long the tail needs to be, and to not tighten the seam too much so it looks like the other stitches. I love how you teach!

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Tracy :-)

[@januarydrodge]

Honestly, I've watched a lot of tutorials on the Kitchener stitch and this is the best! It really made it clear and so easy to remember! Thanks for this video!

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much :-)

[@toscatattertail9813]

she gets rid of all the unnecessary verbiage, and the yarn used makes the demonstration absolutely clear, I have been looking for a simple direct explanation for 2 days.

[@grandmatammy464]

The wording you use to explain is so clear and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you :-) I'm glad my explanations make sense to you. Happy knitting!

[@georgemcduncan5391]

I too have watched several how to videos on this and yours is the best illustration and I like that you used a contrasting colour so I could see what your really doing. I've been knitting off and on for my whole life and saying purl and knit working the darning needle makes it harder for me to understand. Actually seeing how the stich is formed while you are doing it is the best for me.. Thank you Have a great weekend.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, George :-) Happy knitting!

[@sharonmckeever4073]

I have looked at several Kitchener stitch tutorials, but I must say this one explains the kitchener stitch the best ever. I have made my first pair of socks and they have been on my needles for at least two weeks because I couldn't get the kitchener stitch correct. I am excited that I finally get to finish them. THANK YOU!!

[@KnittingLulu]

Finally a tutorial that is easy and to the point! Thank you so much!

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you :-) I'm happy to know that my explanation makes sense to you. Happy knitting, my friend!

[@Majtaism]

Alleluja!!! Finally someone with skills. I can’t thank you enough for explaining this to me. Now I got it. ❤

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you 🙏 I am really glad I could help. Happy knitting, my friend!

I have a very long sweater, I don't know how to do it, Now I got it from you. Thank you so much!

[@jackiesenich2622]

I have looked at so many kitchner videos and been knitting for 20 years and this is the best i've seen!! Thanks. I'm not a big sock knitter, but this was a live saver.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Jackie! I'm happy to know that this tutorial helped you to make friends with Kitchener stitch. Happy knitting, my friend :-)

[@ellennovara-dalima5857]

Finally somebody which explain this so clear... thank you so much!!!

[@penelopehemingway4515]

By far the clearest explanation I've found anywhere. I appreciate a how-to video that is clear and concise and with no lengthy pre-amble of the person's entire life story. I sat through a lot of poor videos on this technique to find this gem. Not only the clearest explanation but the most easy to do and remember technique, cutting out unnecessary steps. Professional and non distracting, too. I sat through several of these where the presenters seemed self defensive and hectoring in tone or with annoying mannerisms. When I turn to KZbin for a how to, I appreciate it being calm, straight to the point, and not full of someone speaking with an irritating rising intonation or who seems stressed by doing the technique. This is the only one I have found that did just that. Thanks.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much, Penelope :-) I'm happy you find this tutorial useful. KZbin is a great venue for everyone to share our bits of experience, even though sometimes the presentation is less than perfect.

[@sallyholland5768]

I cannot thank you enough for this video! I only wish I had seen it six Christmas stockings ago! Bravo! This is the first of those stockings that I have not had to pull out my work and start over- got it all done in one round! Thanks again!

[@hellegosch9006]

Oh my God, this is the best and easiest way I have seen the Kitchener stitch worked. You are absolutely my favourite teacher.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Helle :-) Happy knitting!

Wow this is so much easier to understand! You go in the first set and remove the next stitch Purl wise then you go to the second set and remove the second stitch knit wise then the last 2 stitches are removed Purl wise. Thank you Maryna for this great tutorial 🥰

Perfectly explained, and with excellent photography. I knew how to Kitchener stitch two pieces of knitting that were attached to waste knitting, but only from the purl side. Now, I understand how to do it on the knit side. Thanks!

I agree your videos are so clear and even though I have see the method before this video explains it so much better. Seeing that the joining stich as finished products explains much better what we are trying to accomplish. Thank you very much.

[@adelevarao5446]

I finally can watch a video that clearly shows the easiest way to graft. Other videos have been so confusing. Thanks.

[@MarisaRose1]

*You are amazing* 😱 Every other video confused me so much. Who the heck wants to stress over what stitch stays on the needle and what stitch gets slipped off and when?? The way you did it and explained it is *so* so much better than any video I've ever watched since I started knitting. Thank you so much!!!

[@10rowsaday]

So happy to hear that my explanation makes sense to you, Marisa :-) Happy stitching!

Wonderful video with excellent step by step explanation of the process. Thank you for this

[@Bar-Hillel]

I wanted to do Kitchener to join a shoulder and for some stupid reason went looking for videos. It was FAR too complicated and as I was about to give up I though, "Hang on, why didn't you look at 10rowsaday??". That's not complicated at all. But having watched it, I found the Russian bind off and think that may be even better. As a teacher I appreciate good teaching and you truly have a gift. Thank you.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much, my friend 🙏

The best ever tutorial. Many thanks 🙏😊

[@lulugigi9907]

I think I finally understand how to do this. I've saved to favorites so next time I need it I will watch again before attempting. I may even attempt first with a couple of swatches. I just tried using the kitchener/grafting stitch on some baby overalls after reading and watching a couple of videos on it and while I have the five stitches on the bottom is seamed together, I could have down better. Next time I will do better after watching this video. You did a very good job at explaining and showing visually how the stitch is done. Thank you. *:)

[@danieladietel-wright8054]

thanks for making this so approachable! i pride myself in learning things fast, just from watching- but the kitchener stitch was always a mystery to me- like a math problem, that i couldn't figure out 🙈

[@10rowsaday]

I am happy I could help :-) Thank you, Daniela!

[@kibamikkelsen4907]

I know I'm going to be dumb at this stitch so I prepare myself 4 or 5 tutorial and this one is just visually makes me feel easier and it's so well explained! I think this one is using a slightly different way to do kitchener stitch and this small different change a lot it's really just feel easier... And also as this video said you can adjust the tightness while seeing it, there are other tutorials that don't slip the stich off when the needle first go in to one stitch so you can't see it as clear as this video taught. I just finish seaming my first knitting hat and it's perfect, I never thought I can make it perfect at the first time I can't even find the seaming myself 🥺 thank you so much for making this tutorial

[@deepfriedmushroom]

This was so easy to follow! I've tried the kitchener stitch before, but I could never seem to get it to work. I need to re-learn how to do it for a pattern I got, so this was perfect! Thank you so much! Also, my cat enjoyed watching the yarn move about on the screen. :)

Thank you for explaining this in such a simple way. Will this method work joining garter stitch I am currently making a cowl in garter stitch and this would be a brilliant way to finish off.

[@10rowsaday]

Hi Esther. Yes, you can use Kitchener stitch to join fabric made in garter stitch. For best results, make sure you have a line of purls at the very edge of each side of the cowl. Kitchener stitch will form a line of knits and the seam will be absolutely invisible. Happy seaming :-)

[@bon47ful]

Hi Maryna. Is the process the same for seaming two pieces of stockinette which each have a 4-stitch garter edge (as in a scarf)? I had to knit two pieces of a scarf so that a Christmas tree detail wouldn’t be upside down as it is placed around the neck. Thank you.

[@10rowsaday]

Hi Bonnie, Yes, you can use the same seaming to join garter stitch. To get the best results, make the seam between the ridges. That means that when you seam, you will join two lines of purls that form ridges of the garter stitch. This way the seam will be less noticeable. Good luck :-)

[@bon47ful]
