SPECIAL TECHNIQUES
GRAFTING:
This technique is used to join two pieces of knitting when edges are not
bound off.
Place sts to be grafted onto 2 needles, with wrong sides together and with
needle points facing to the right.
Using yarn needle, insert into first st on front needle as if to purl, leaving
st on needle. Insert into first st on back needle as if to knit, leaving st on
needle. * Insert needle into first st on front needle as if to knit, slipping st off
needle, then into next st on front needle as if to purl, leaving st on needle.
Insert into first st on back needle as if to purl, slipping st off needle, then
into next st as if to knit, leaving st on needle.
Rep from * until all sts have been grafted.
THREE-NEEDLE BIND OFF: (Seaming 2 pieces together as you bind off)
Place the sts of pieces to be joined on separate needles, (or each end of
a circular needle), held one behind the other, with right sides facing each
other, in left hand; with a third needle, k2tog (one from the front needle,
one from the back needle – one st on right-hand needle), * k2tog (two sts
on right-hand needle), bind off one st in usual manner; rep from * to end.
For a decorative seam on right side, work with wrong sides facing each
other.
