Using Kitchener’s stitch to join two pieces of Garter stitch is pretty simple, as you only have to memorize half the steps you need for stockinette 🙌🏻
And here’s how It goes:
In preparing the first piece has to end with a purl row, while the second has to end with a knit row.
Then you’ll need two preparational stitches, where you insert the needle into the first stitch of the fabric in front of you as if to purl and leave it on the needle. You repeat this for the other needle.
Then your repeat begins:
Slip the first stitch as if to knit and insert the needle into the next one as if to purl (just like the preparational stitches).
Do this on the second needle as well.
And that’s it! 🙌🏻
When only one stitch remains on each needle, simply let it slip of the needle and your done.
If you’ve tucked the thread a little too tight in between stitches, gently pull the seam apart.
It’s completely invisible 🙌🏻🤩
Have you tried this technique before?
