This was the MOST helpful video I've watched abut a dozen on this stitch and still after I've made 6 pairs of socks I've messed up the kitchener stitch every time. But thanks to you I finally mastered it! Thanks so much!
Your video makes this stitch seem so easy. I was very confused and not sure what to do or when to take a stitch off. The k off p, purl off k , etc. makes it understandable. Thank you so much.
Wow!!! Thank you very much!!!! I am new to knitting and am getting ready to start my first pair of socks and was wondering how I was going to bind off the ends of the socks!!!! Very helpful video!
THANK YOU!!! Finally I can do it. I have read the directions watched other videos and you just made a little rhyme-ish mantra and it helped me so much. Before now the toe of my socks were scary bad. THANK YOU!!!
Hi - I looked up lots of videos how to graft the toe but this was by far the best. I recently had to buy a new laptop and wondered if I would ever find you again, so glad I did! A zillion thanks for posting this, I think you've helped a lot of knitters.
Were those socks done using worsted or sock weight yarn? I've knitted one sock using worsted weight yarn & the size 7 US dpns I had available. It's more like a slipper than a sock. It was my first sock so there are gaps @ the start of the gussets, LOL! Thank you for the clear instructions on how to graft the toe!
Thanks, your shortcut to remember is very helpful and addictive! But exactly what do you do with the yarn on the tapestry needle when you are finished?
Being able to watch, listen, and read directions makes learning so much easier. In the past I have always been discouraged by my inability to put into practice written instructions. Thanks so much.
Thank to your video I will always remember the gart stich. The technique you show is much more simple than the one you normally find in books and other youtube videos. Thanks!
Just wanted to say thanks for the video! It was super helpful and after watching it just once I kitchenered up the toe of my sock, no problem. Thanks!!
...knit, off pearl, pearl off, knit. By Jove I think I've got it. Thanks to my friend for sending me the web address for your instructions. You should see the mess I made of the Kitchener toes on the socks I just finished. I can't wait to make another pair - and show my children the glorious finish you just taught. Thanks, Joyce
I was so intimidated by the kitchener stitch, and read up on it, and just got so confused, and was sure it was too hard for me. You're video made it look so easy, I can't believe how easy it is! Thanks so much!!
Awesome!! I can't wait to start trying my hand at knitting socks. I've heard that it's terribly hard though so I'm a bit intimidated at the thought though.
Super tutorial! I just finished my first pair of socks and since I had never tried the kitchener stitch, I wanted a tutorial with lots of pictures--my socks are now perfect! Thank you!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I finally get it! You made it seem so easy.

You pull the end through to the inside of the sock, weave the end through several stitches and them trim the end.

A HUGE thankyou for this - never could quite make sense of pictoral instructions but seeing it done makes it really obvious - duh!!!
Look forward to using the Kitchener stitch, now, instead of mushing my way through a toe!!

Did you knit with different colors? Did you weave in the tails? Thank you for your help. B
bnmuzic 4 years ago
It it self-striping yarn and you always weave the tails in.
good luck!
